Martin Guitars has collaborated once again with Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy to release two highly anticipated signature acoustic guitars: the reissued 00DB Jeff Tweedy and the all-new 000 Jr E Jeff Tweedy. These instruments capture Tweedy’s philosophy for honest, inspiring songwriting, combining premium, sustainable craftsmanship with his distinctly understated style. Guitarists seeking a soulful, ready-to-play platform will find their next muse in this pairing.
The Return: 00DB Jeff Tweedy—A Resonant, Soulful Voice
The original Martin 00DB Jeff Tweedy is officially back by popular demand, offering the warm, rich, and focused tone that made it a favorite among singer-songwriters.
- Deep Resonance: The guitar features a deeper 00 body design, providing enhanced resonance and a robust low-end warmth typically associated with larger instruments.
- Premium & Sustainable Build: It’s sustainably crafted with FSC-certified solid mahogany back and sides, paired with a solid top of European spruce featuring scalloped X-bracing. This combination yields a dry, focused tone with exceptional clarity and punch.
- Classic Tweedy Style: The guitar is finished in a custom Gloss Tweedy Burst and features faux tortoise binding and elegant Foden-style inlays. The Modified V neck and 25.4″ scale length deliver a classic feel and projection.
- Limited Details: Each model includes a signed label and a hardshell case.
Price: $3,599.00
The New Favorite: 000 Jr E Jeff Tweedy—Compact Comfort, Full-Scale Tone
Joining the lineup is the new 000 Jr E Jeff Tweedy, a versatile and approachable model that delivers the same signature character in a more comfortable, compact size. This acoustic-electric guitar is designed for songwriters on the go.
- Compact Comfort: Featuring the 000 Junior body, this guitar is designed for comfortable playability without sacrificing feel. It utilizes a near-full 24.9″ scale length.
- Sustainable & Punchy Tone: The body is built from FSC-certified solid sapele—a sustainable alternative to mahogany—with scalloped spruce X-bracing, providing a warm and punchy sound.
- Stage-Ready Electronics: The “E” in the name signifies its built-in Martin E1 electronics with a tuner, making it ready for the stage, studio, or easy plugging-in at home.
- Understated Finish: The guitar is finished in a softer Satin Tweedy Burst and features a comfortable Performing Artist neck for hours of fatigue-free playing.
Price: $1149/£1169
