It’s Here — The Martin 000 Jr E “Heff” Tweedy Launches Today

Oct 09, 2025

Ladies and gents, guitar lovers and songwriters — the wait is over.
As of today, the Martin 000 Jr E Heff Tweedy is officially out in the world. This isn’t just another signature model — it’s a statement: compact, honest, ready-to-play, and built with Jeff Tweedy’s creative ethos in mind.

🔥 Why Today Matters

Martin and Jeff Tweedy are simultaneously reissuing the fan-favorite 00DB Jeff Tweedy and introducing its new sibling, the 000 Jr E. The “Heff” guitar now marks its first day on dealer floors and in players’ hands worldwide.
Martin’s announcement made it clear: they want to offer a guitar that’s both accessible and true to Tweedy’s voice — something that doesn’t just look cool on stage, but that you want to play every day.
The launch timing connects with renewed attention on Tweedy’s work (including his new triple album Twilight Override).

🎯 What Makes the 000 Jr E “Heff” Special

Compact, full-feel design. The 000 Junior body with a 24.9" scale length gives you a guitar that feels full without being oversized. You get more comfort, less fatigue.
Resonant, sustainable tonewoods. It’s built entirely from FSC-certified solid sapele (top, back & sides), delivering warm, punchy voice with consistency.
Playability first. The Performing Artist (PA) neck profile is smooth and forgiving — perfect for long sessions.
Minimal but bold styling. The satin Tweedy Burst top, black binding, and Foden-style inlays reflect Jeff’s understated but intentional aesthetic.
Stage-ready electronics. With Martin E1 electronics + built-in tuner, it’s ready to plug in—no extra rigging.
Heritage meets accessibility. Inspired by the reissued 00DB, this model brings the Tweedy signature lineage to a more approachable format.

📣 What This Means for You (and Us)

At Brothers Guitar Shop, we’re proud to be among the first places to have this in stock — you’ll be able to try, feel, and compare on day one.
For songwriters, travelers, and gigging players, this is a guitar that bridges worlds: the tone of a serious Martin, but the portability and attitude of something built for everyday expression.
Tweedy’s perspective comes through: “well-made guitars… inspire creativity because they don’t present an obstacle to creativity” — this is precisely the kind of instrument that fades into your hands so you can just play.
