SOLD  A lot of people consider the Martin D35 to be a deluxe version of a D28, which is arguably the benchmark Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought. Tonally it has a very complex sound, great depth and resonance, plenty of punch and attack, and well balanced with superbly...

NEW ARRIVAL  Only produced between 1985 - 1995, the Martin M64 is a very unusual guitar. The M series is a great all-round body design from Martin, big enough to to challenge a jumbo in volume, but not as deep bodied making it far more comfortable to play. Essentially...

SOLD  The Martin 00-28 is an 00 size guitar with a Sitka Spruce top and Rosewood back and sides with scallop bracing. It features an Ebony fretboard and bridge, open back butterbean tuners, plus bone nut and saddle. All of these appointments are signs of real quality,...

SOLD  Over the years, the D28 has become pretty much the industry standard Spruce / Rosewood dreadnought. It’s been played by countless famous musicians, and features on many classic songs. Early 70’s examples are becoming amongst the most desirable, since prices of...

NEW ARRIVAL  The Martin D18 is the original 14-fret Martin dreadnought - introduced in 1931 it’s an American classic. The new Martin D-18 harks back to the company's "Golden Era" instruments, featuring forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, Ebony bridge &...

NEW ARRIVAL  Only produced between 1932 and 1942, and changed to an F hole model in late 1933, this is a very rare example of a Martin R18 round soundhole archtop. It features a dark burst Spruce top with Mahogany back and sides, a hand engraved Martin tailpiece, and...

NEW ARRIVAL  In 2015, the Martin Custom Shop built a small batch of 0-sized, 12 fret guitars featuring Sipo back and sides. Sipo is from the Mahogany family, with similar tonality, but more figured. Combined with the Sitka Spruce top and Grover open back tuners, the...

SOLD  The Martin style 5-18 is the smallest guitar made by Martin; at the lower bout, it measures 11.25″, while at the upper bout it is 8.25″. And its body is just 16″ in length, with a scale of 21.4″. Guitars of this size were part of the Germanic tradition of “Terz”...

NEW ARRIVAL  This is a rare find, there were fewer 0-15’s made than the better known 00-15’s and 00-17’s, and such an early example is very special. The all Mahogany body gives warmth and depth to the woody tone, and the slightly smaller body than a 00 gives this...

NEW ARRIVAL  The Martin 12 series is new to me, and I’m very pleasantly surprised. It features a solid Sitka Spruce top paired with a back and sides made from African Mahogany, with a fine Koa veneer. This gives the warm response of Mahogany with the striking looks of...

NEW ARRIVAL  Only produced between 1932 and 1942, Martin’s R series archtops are pretty hard to find, and it’s very unusual to find an all Mahogany archtop. Not the wood of choice at the time, but 80 years on and the Mahogany has aged and matured beautifully. It gives...
