NEW ARRIVAL  Martin have experimented with the J (0000) model over the years, usually in limited runs. But the J-41 Special is the highest spec of these limited editions, and the rarest - only 173 were produced. Essentially they have answered the question, what would...

NEW ARRIVAL  The HD28 is noticeably different to a D28. Not just the herringbone trim that gives it a more deluxe look, but the scalloped bracing which allows the top to resonate more, giving a more lively playing experience. Never boomy, but more dynamic sounding....

NEW ARRIVAL  The 16 range was introduced to offer a more affordable way of buying an all solid USA made Martin. This example is a jumbo version featuring a Spruce top, with Rosewood back sides. It produces a full sound, with great depth and resonance. The guitar...

SOLD  The Martin OM-28 was the first 14 fret flattop 6 string acoustic, produced in 1931. With Martin’s Authentic series, they’ve taken the 1931 blueprint, and been as faithful to the build process as possible. This is Martin's top of the line OM and it sounds like...

NEW ARRIVAL  As part of Martin’s Vintage series, this is a painstaking recreation of an HD28 from Martin’s golden era. The forward shifted scallop bracing, Herringbone trim, Ebony fretboard and bridge, bone nut and saddle, vintage style open-geared tuners, and aged...

NEW ARRIVAL  Martin’s 000-28 is a true example of the overused expression - a classic. It’s pretty much the go to Spruce / Rosewood 000. Used on countless recordings through history, and as relevant today as it’s ever been. The body shape is very comfortable to play,...

SOLD  With a Martin 000-42 it’s difficult not to mention the looks before the sound - it really is Martin craftsmanship at it’s best, and one of the most coveted models from Martin's Standard Series. The 45 style Abalone binding and snowflake inlays are really quite...

NEW ARRIVAL  Over the years, the D28 has become the best known Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought, a true classic and an icon. It’s sound is pretty much synonymous with late 60’s and early 70’s recordings. Whether it’s classic folk, Americana, country or bluegrass, this...

NEW ARRIVAL  The Martin 000-28 is pretty much the industry standard fingerstyle guitar, found in most recording studios, and played by many of the greats. It’s a Spruce topped 000 guitar with Indian Rosewood back and sides, and at 15 years old has a real maturity to...

SOLD  Now discontinued, the HD-28S was later rebranded HD-28VS to fit Martin’s Vintage series. In either format it’s a difficult guitar to find. 12 fret dreadnoughts still go under the radar for a lot of players. But once tried, never forgotten. They feel and sound...

NEW ARRIVAL  The D45 holds a place in history as being the most expensive, highly detailed, beautifully over the top dreadnought in Martin’s range. But is it the best sounding Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought….. well it’s pretty damn close. I sat down to play it before...

SOLD  The Tenor Guitar was originally developed by C F Martin as a transitional instrument, allowing tenor banjo players to easily switch to more popular guitar tones. The first tenor guitars appeared towards the end of the 1920’s, and they were produced mostly until...
