J. Godoy Performance Martinez Preowned 2023

The J. Godoy Performance Martinez Classical Guitar is the result of a unique collaboration between master luthier Kenny Hill and Martinez’s advanced production techniques. Designed and overseen by Hill, one of the world’s most respected builders of classical guitars, this model brings together decades of craftsmanship and tradition with modern precision. Built with solid tonewoods throughout, it offers the depth, clarity, and projection expected by serious classical players, while remaining accessible for advancing students and performers alike.

Featuring a solid spruce top paired with solid Santos rosewood back and sides, this guitar delivers a powerful yet refined tonal palette. The mahogany neck with ebony fingerboard provides smooth playability across the entire 650mm scale, while a 52mm nut width ensures ample room for complex chord voicings and expressive fingerstyle playing. Fitted with high-quality DJ308S-S14 tuners and strung with premium Savarez/Knobloch strings, the J. Godoy Performance Martinez Classical Guitar is both elegant and performance-ready, making it a reliable partner for practice, recording, or stage use.

This 2023-built guitar is in great condition, with some light scratches on the body to the french-polished finish and a few areas where the finish seems to have stuck to the case at some point. That aside, this is a beautiful intermediate classical guitar, with a balanced, precise tone and a wonderfully responsive feel. It's incredibly resonant and lightly-built, lending it an airy and complex tonality with gorgeous natural reverb. If you're looking for a traditional classical guitar that sounds fantastic without the high-end price tag, this is the one. Includes hardshell case.
