Martinez' best selling guitar for music school students. The perfect playability and warm, yet light sound are perfect for the first steps into guitarplaying. The MC-48S has a clear and full sound with great dynamic range, The fullness of the higher notes is outstanding in this model.This is typical for a guitar with a spruce top. It is a different tonal color than the cedar top version of this guitar. The mahogany sides and back make the sound light and forgiving.

Martinez marries the traditional Spanish construction with modern features as excellent playability and a modern trussrod to have the most stable neck possible. The new hidden acces truss rod allows for easy set-ups and for stability without interfering with the tone. This new lightweight trussrod is the latest innovation that sets Martinez apart from the crowd.

The Cadete model is only a little bit, but noticably, smaller than the Senorita model. The scale length of 615 mm makes playing easier. Despite the smaller size, a grown up can still manage this very well.
