Add to Compare2001 Martin D-45GE Brazilian/Adirondack (Red)
We get vintage Martins through our shop all the time, so we’re well-acquanted with that old-school opened-up sound, and there’s a palpable difference compared to newer Martins. This D-45GE, however, offers all the rich, explosive tone of a vintage instrument with only a few years to its name! Modeled after a 1937 D-45 down to the Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides and Adirondack Spruce top, this 2001 D-45GE is a piece-for-piece recreation of one of man’s greatest guitars.
Whether you’re a fingerstylist of a flatpicker, playing Traditional, Bluegrass, or Jazz, this Martin is a finely-honed tool capable of matching you note for note with consistent projection across all six strings. The bass is warm and enveloping, perfectly balanced with the other registers. Under even a delicate touch, this D-45GE lights up like fireworks on July 4th, with sweet treble overtones hanging in the air like smoke from the mortars. In true vintage style, this Martin has a modified “V” neck and a glass-smooth setup for easy playability, and a 1 3/4″ nut.
All of that is to say, this 2001 Martin D-45GE is a marvel of tone, aesthetics, and vintage vibe–the worthy decendent of a living legend.

This Dreadnought feels patriotic every day of the year! Adorned with stars across the fretboard and stripes across the three-piece Indian Rosewood back and Sitka Spruce top, this Martin D-76 is number 1,855 of 1,976 guitars that Martin built in commemoration of the United States’ Bicentennial, making this the guitar for the year of 1855 (the last year of the California Gold Rush).
In excellent shape, this D-76 has a rich voice that’s backed up by Martin’s trademark Dreadnought projection, making this a Fourth of July firecracker for Bluegrass or Old Time flatpickers, and comes with its original Martin hardshell case in a unique shade of soft blue.

Add to Compare1999 Martin HD-28 Custom Brazilian/Adirondack (Red)
To all you Bluegrass pickers, we apologize: this custom HD-28 from Martin here makes lesser Dreadnoughts sound, well, less. Built to its previous owner’s own specs in 1999, this HD-28 has gorgeous chocolate-dark Brazilian Rosewood for the back and sides an Adirondack Spruce top, and is bound up neatly in a herringbone-and-ivoroid binding package. This Dreadnought has been blessed with some fearsome low end growl, and can wind up to a fierce projective force with even a light attack.
By request, Martim finished the Mahogany one-piece neck with a satin finish that feels like velvet to your left hand, and won’t gum up when you really get into that solo at your next session. Practically as clean and unscratched as the day it was finished, this HD-28 is in splendid condition, with miles and miles left in both the saddle and the frets, and comes with a Martin TKL hardshell case to make sure it stays that way.

Add to Compare2011 Martin OMM John Renbourn Madagascar/Alpine
In combining Mr. Renbourn’s tastes with Martin Guitars’ talents, this guitar stands at the apex of traditional design and contemporary fingerstyle tone. According to Martin, one of John Renbourn’s favorite body styles was the original Orchestra Model, so naturally when the opportunity arose for the two to collaborate on a design, they chose an OM shape with a 14-fret, 25 1/4″ scale length for added tension in lowered tunings. When dropped into DADGAD or the like, this OMM exudes strength and clarity, with none of the tubbiness in the bass notes that similar guitars struggle against. Whether it’s fingerpicked Irish jigs, English ballads, or American Blues, this Martin offers an excellent separation of notes and hearty sustain. The voice is well-balanced across all registers, and the Madagascar Rosewood back and sides, when combined with the Alpine Italian Spruce top, fill out the tonal palette with shimmering overtones that warm the air and lend a complex, lush color to your fingerstyle arrangements. Bound up in a Martin TKL case, there’s no chance of any harm coming to this beauty when it’s not in your hands.

Add to Compare2001 Martin 00-18CTN Mahogany/Sitka
From Elizabeth Cotten’s Country Blues picking to your own brand of fingerstyle, this 2001 00-18CTN from Martin Guitars is guaranteed to liven up the room with its strong, crisp voice cutting through the air. With a slim 1 11/16″ nut and 00-size body, this guitar is easy, both on the hands and the ear. The bass strings have a well-defined edge that’s balanced with the other registers, and the punchy tone of the Mahogany back and sides is powerfully amplified by the Sitka Spruce top. With Elizabeth Cotten’s signature sharing space with a gorgous MOP train at the 12th fret, this guitar pays subtle homage to the model Country Blues singer for which this guitar is named, and is in practically mint condition. Wrapped up in a Martin TKL hardshell case to transport the 00-18CTN to the gig, this 00 has is included with a Fishman Thinline Natural I pickup to get you through the set with nothing but faithful amplification and zero feedback.

Add to Compare2004 Martin HD-40 Tom Petty 18/274 East Indian/Italian
Rich, comprehensive tone; silky smooth setup; gorgeous appointments–this 2004 Martin HD-40 is a Tom Petty Limited Edition, number 18 of 274, and it lives up to its heritage handsomely. We’re looking at a fingerstylist’s dream Dreadnaught, folks: encompassing sonority with an excellent balance across the strings, and a newly refretted fingerboard (by our own Ken Jones) for a glassy playing experience. Explorations into lowered tunings like DADGAD yield clean, crisp voices–no flat or tubby bass strings on this HD-40. The Italian Spruce and East Indian Rosewood have been thoroughly opened up and played-in by the guitar’s previous owner, giving this Dreadnaught an effortless richness which makes a simple G Major chord sound bigger, fuller, more dynamic. Coupled with a bombproof Fishman Ellipse VT preamp and undersaddle pickup, all that richness translates faithfully into amplified territory. That means these sweet, present trebles won’t be lost in the mix, nor will the expressiveness of the low-end.
True to Tom Petty’s style, this guitar features an illustration of the phases of the moon across the fretboard and culminates in a shower of stars on the upper frets and, or course, Mr. Petty’s signature on the 20th fret. Looking for a dynamite guitar for home or at the gig? This HD-40 is the ticket, and comes in a Hiscox hardshell case to ensure it remains in good health for years to come.

Add to Compare1951 Martin 000-28 Brazilian/Spruce
Needless to say, this old Martin’s seen a lot of the world since it was first played in 1951, and because of those travels this 000-28 has got some powerful stories to tell. The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are completely opened up, rendering that strong, vigorous vintage tone which Martin lovers pore through every antique store and pawn shop in search of. This 000-28 has a responsive Spruce top and an agile, energetic voice that really lends itself to American Traditional fingerpicking arrangements, but has plenty of sustain and projection for flatpicking as well.
With the necessary setup work out of the way, this 000-28 is in peak playing condition, meaning that all that rich, explosively opened-up tone can be played with ease. Ready for many more decades of great music, this guitar reminds us what true vintage really sounds like.

Add to Compare2007 Martin D-18V Custom Mahogany/Adirondack (Red)
This Martin may have been built in 2007, but to look at it you’d swear it was brand new. The alluring Sunburst finish is practically untouched, but the Mahogany back and sides and Adirondack Sruce top have been played in nicely, so the voice is well-opened up and expressive. Being a custom order D-18V, this guitar has some special additions which set it apart from the pack, namely the Slope Shoulder body, which gives this Martin a warm and complex voice.
Between a low-end which is warm and well-defined and trebles that shimmer in the air, there’s also great separation between the strings, perfect for fingerpicking, but this Dreadnaught also responds beautifully to a flatpick and an aggressive attack: there’s plenty of bark for everyone. This Custom D-18V comes with its original Martin TKL hardshell case, so there’s little chance of this immaculate instrument coming to harm during your travels.

Add to Compare2005 Martin ECHF East Indian/Italian
A stormy temperament; 14 frets for crisp, snappy tone; darkly deserving to be played–the Bellezza Nera (“Black Beauty“) from Martin is not a guitar to be trifled with. Number 47 of 476, you won’t find many other 2005 Martin 000s with this kind of tone and playability. Frankly, we’re impressed: the voice is bright and responsive with the Italian Spruce top, exceedingly well-balanced with the East Indian Rosewood–just the kind of articulation and string-to-string seperation you want for fingerpicking–and the feel of the 000 body cradled in your lap is instantly intimate. Built in collaboration with Eric Clapton, Hiroshi Fujiwara, and Dick Boak, this is a guitar best served like Turkish coffee: black as night and sweet as sin.

Add to Compare1937 Martin C-2 Conversion Brazilian/Spruce
The long and varied career of the Martin Guitar Company has had many fascinating turns across the decades. Back in the 1930s, Martin tried their hand at building Archtop guitars, many of which were later retopped as flattop acoustics. The C-2 Conversion we have here is just such a guitar–and we steel-string players couldn’t be happier. The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides are chocolate-rich (as is the voice), and the Spruce top has been masterfully braced for maximum projection. This is an excellent example of Martin’s early OM designs: tight waist, compact curves, and a well-balanced voice with low-end rumble that’s perfectly attuned to sweet, present treble strings.
According to its owner–tthe Irish multi-instrumentalist virtuoso John Doyle–this one was built in 1937, and is excellently broken-in and opened up, and plays with a vigorous tonality matched only by its shocking clarity. Martin’s OM shape gives this guitar a dynamic range which excels at fingerstyle with a thumbpick to bring out the crisp bass notes, or with flatpicks to make tunes sound full and complex, and the rounded neck profile is exceedingly comfortable on the hands. A guitar of this uniqueness won’t be here long; you’ll need to come play it before it’s gone!

Add to Compare2003 Martin D-42K2 Koa/Koa
Koa, Koa, and more Koa! One of Martin’s coveted all-Koa Dreadnoughts, this 2003 D-42K2 has the lucky opportunity to have the best of both worlds: it sounds as gorgeous and aggressive as it looks. The typical Koa tone, this guitar has in spades–dry and crisp, with lots of punch in the mids–and with the typical Dreadnought voice (huge and brash), this guitar reinforces why Martin Dreadnoughts are the best in the business.And she packs a wallop, of that you can be sure. Flatpicked Old Time or American Trad music rings with muscularity and bark. Country Blues fingerpicking really lets the trebles shine, accentuating the great balance across the strings. With projection like an ocean wave–tsunami-size–and a sustain which hovers like endless sky, this D-42K2 has a primal, vigorous tone perfect for group settings and an aggressive attack. And, with shimmering Abalone trim, inlay, and rosette, you’ll be the envy of every guitarist.
Add to Compare1946 Martin D-28 Brazilian/Sitka
A Bluegrass champion has risen, just in time for the holidays! And it comes to us straight from the hands of a Bluegrass legend, Mr. Tim Stafford of Blue Highway fame. This 1946 Martin D-28 of Stafford’s has been one of his staple guitars for quite a long time, and now you have the opportunity to add it to your arsenal, instead. Featuring the kind of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood that was then an industry standard (and now is all but impossible to find) and a darkly sunburst Sitka Spruce top, this D-28 is a jaw-dropper. This kind of vigorous, muscular tone, you know it’s a Bluegrass machine, with clean highs and a low-end that is big, but controlled. Almost 70 years old, this working relic plays like it’s 20, and is set up for Bluegrass-style attack. With all that bark, you’d think it was a three-headed dog–take one bite, and you won’t like the taste of anything else. According to Wayne Henderson, this guitar was retopped by Martin in the late 40s, when it was still a baby, so the top has been played in and fully opened up since then. This D-28 is true vintage, and bears the marks of musicmaking with pride.

Add to Compare1957 Martin D-21 Brazilian/Sitka
Just when you think you’ve got the vintage Martin sound memorized, there comes a guitar like this 1957 D-21 to turn it on its head. Think of it this way: this D-21 has had 58 years in which to learn how to sound good–and brother, this guitar took notes. The voice that comes screaming out of this Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce box is true vintage, broken in, opened up, and raring to go. The trebles are crisp and sweet, and the bass rolls like a kettle drum. Flatpickers will have their solos explode across the airwaves with the great projection and sustain, and Traditional-style fingerpickers have a strong, articulate voice in which to express themselves and their favorite arrangements. And this isn’t just your run-of-the-mill Martin from the 50’s–this D-21 has recently had a tune up at the hands of our own Ken Jones, who has restored this guitar to the playing condition of its adolescence.
Ever wonder what gorgeous vintage woods could do with a new pair of legs? Cover many more miles of great music, that’s what. Now, you can rest assured that this D-21 is ready for another 30 years. All that warmth, that punchy growl, the big, loud bark–all of that has been preserved for the next chapter of its life–in your hands. This guitar comes with a Martin molded hardshell case.

Add to Compare2003 Martin 000JBP Mahogany/Sitka
Break out the flip flops and limes–it’s Margaritaville time. Number 302 of 305, this 2003 Martin Jimmy Buffet “Pollywog” 000 is one of the very last in a limited run of beach-going guitars designed for easy playability and warm tones. With a Mahogany back and sides and Sitka Spruce top in Martin’s 000 package, this nautically themed 12-fret is fun and lively, with the warmth and ease of play that comes from the shorter neck and moving the bridge to the center of the lower bout, optimizing the Sitka Spruce top’s ability to resonate. For a smaller guitar, this one’s got great projection, and it doesn’t peak easily. This guitar is designed for fingerpicking, but it can handle some serious strumming, too–just don’t scratch the Blue Paua Abalone rosette! We only say that because, right now, this guitar is practically mint; good luck looking for a scratch on this one. And lastly, because Jimmy Buffet’s a stylish man and likes to dress his “Pollywog” appropriately, this guitar comes protected by a deluxe leather Martin hardshell case.

Add to Compare1967 Martin D-28 Brazilian/Sitka
This is a guitar with all the strength, projection, and vintage tone that only a vintage Martin can provide. The 60’s were a great decade for Martin guitars, and this 1967 D-28 shows it with its Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and Sitka Spruce top. All that premium-grade tonewood, combined with almost 50 years’ of musicmaking, make for a complex and responsive guitar with an expansive middle register and an articulate, tight low-end. There’s no overwhelming boom-chuck here: just an instrument optimally balanced across its registers and coupled with great projection. The Ivoroid and Mother-of-Pearl appointments are simple and matter-of-fact, like the tone; a guitar which is ready to get to work. This D-28 is true vintage: the woods have opened up well, and it has the vintage look of an instrument well-played for hundreds of hours. Plus, we’ve refretted the fretboard and reset the neck, so this D-28 from the end of the sixties (and hence the end of production Brazilian Rosewood Martins) plays like its brand new and is in great shape for another thirty years’ worth of tunes. This guitar comes with a molded Martin Hardshell case.
