Add to Compare1995 Martin D-35 30th Anniversay 123 of 207 East Indian/Spruce
Every couple of decades, Martin Guitars pull out all the stops for a limited run of anniversary guitars. The 1995 30th Anniversary D-35 we have here showcases some of Martin’s finest features, from the etched gold Martin tuners and matching 3-piece headstock veneer and guitar back of East Indian Rosewood and Brazilian Rosewood to the legendary warm, rich voice for which the D-35 is known. With a tight-grained Spruce top, this is a Dreadnought that absolutely blasts–the projection is big and fat, and notes ring out with great sustain. This guitar performs wonderfully for flatpickers, with all the bark you could hope for. To top it all off, the Ebony fretboard features MOP dots and a “1965-1995” inlay at the penultimate fret in honor of its 30th Anniversary designation. This guitar comes with the original hardshell Martin molded case and a Martin undersaddle pickup.

Add to Compare1954 Martin 000-21 Brazilian/Sitka
We’ve got another fine addition to our Martin family in the store today: a 1954 Martin 000-21 in Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce! This vintage Martin has a nice, fat voice and a warm, woody tone that’s completely opened up. The 000 body provides a tight articulation across the registers, and that Brazilian Rosewood back and sides gives the guitar some great projection, making it an excellent choice for more rockin styles of music or Appalachian Trad. Flatpicked, this guitar’s got plenty of bark to go around, and the narrow nut/saddle allows for easy playing. Thanks to the 14 fret neck, the tone is a bit darker than other 000’s, and has more low-end to boast about. This Martin has been making music for 60 years, most recently with four time Grammy award-winner David Holt, it’s present owner, and it’s ready for more.

The 1920’s were a good decade for Martin Guitars, and this 1926 00-18 is a fine example of the calibre of instrument America was producing at that time. The warmth, vigor, and bright tone of this 00 is very impressive; the guitar has completely opened up, given its almost centenarian status. For an instrument of this age, it’s in remarkable condition, with minimal play wear and only a minor crack that our own Ken Jones repaired. Pick this baby up out of its case, and you’ll be shocked at how light it is–and that lightweight construction translates into a Mahogany soundbox that has heaps and heaps of volume and a Adirondack Spruce top. Fingerstylists and Traditional musicians, this guitar will sing beneath your fingertips.

Add to Compare1927 Martin 0-28K Koa/Koa
Every now and then, you get to play a guitar which just blows you away. When you put this 1927 Martin 0-28K Parlor in your hands, we guarantee that’s exactly what will happen. This is true vintage: 88 years old, and still going strong. This Parlor has had some work done along the way, most recently a new bridge and plate built and installed by luthier Bill Tippin, but its still just as warm and vigorous as it always was. The all-Koa body is a great example of this wood’s characteristics: the grain is tightly quilted, the color between burnt amber and caramel, and the tone is fabulously rich and energetic. This guitar has completely opened up, and plays extraordinarily easily; definitely a fingerstylist’s wet dream. Traditional Ivoroid bindings, Herringbone and Zigzag trim, and original tuners complete the image of the fabled pre-war Martin guitar. Think of all the generations of parlor guitars that came from this design–what we have here is one of the archtypes of the model. The guitar’s got great projection and trebles which sing and a sweet middle register. This guitar comes with a TKL hardshell case.
Add to Compare1997 Martin D-45VR East Indian/Sitka
We’ve got a great selection of Martins in the shop these days, and this 1997 D-45 VR fits in perfectly. Featuring Martin’s stylish 45 series appointments, from the snowflake Abalone fretboard inlay to the Abalone trim across the top, back, and sides, the D-45VR looks as sharp as it sounds, with a big, bold tone characteristic of Martin Dreadnoughts. The Indian Rosewood back and sides give the guitar a well-balanced voice, with lots of presence in the middle registers. Flatpickers will love the setup here, and this Dreadnought offers great sustain. The Sitka Spruce top lends a hand in the articulation department, allowing the strings to sing clearly and distinct from one another with lots of warmth–this Sitka Spruce has opened up nicely in the past 18 years. With almost two decades of tone under its belt, this D-45 VR is a strong contender, and is only going to get better. This guitar comes with a Cedar Creek hardshell case.

Add to Compare1996 Martin D-45 200th Anniversary 85 of 200 East Indian/Sitka
Martin Guitars decided to pull out all the stops for their 200th anniversary in 1996 by building 200 guitars to rigorous specifications. 91 of those 200 were built from Brazilian Rosewood, and 109 were built with East Indian Rosewood sets for the back and sides. Though the D-45 we have here is of the latter category, the rich, enveloping tone of this guitar sounds like it’s actually made from Brazilian. Martin Guitars employed master grade Sitka Spruce for the top, giving this guitar a huge, open sound that responds brilliantly to a flatpicking approach. All registers are absolutely clear and balanced; each note is harmonious. Martin’s forward scalloped bracing system provides exceptional projection while preserving the dynamism of the tone, and the instrument weilds a voice with is commanding without being overwhelming. This D-45 is the pinnacle of dreadnought construction, and these 200th Anniversary D-45s in particular demonstrate how function can coexist with regal Abalone appointments to both sound, and look, mesmerizing. This guitar comes with a Cedar Creek hardshell case.

Add to Compare1941 Martin 000-28 Brazilian/Engelmann
Martin lovers, rejoice! We just landed a sweet old package in the shop: a 1941 Martin 000-28, formerly owned by famed guitarist of Union Station, co-founder of Blue Highway, and accomplished producer of performers like Kenny Chesney: Tim Stafford. This guitar has bucketfuls of tone; it's got tone spilling out of the sound hole the second you pull it out of the case. And what a wonderful sound this Martin makes! The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and the Engelmann Spruce top have opened up completely, giving the guitar a strong, hearty, mature character. This one's definitely not over the hill yet: it sounds as loud and as strong as someone in their prime. It belts it out, too—and the entire instrument vibrates as you play it; it's an enveloping experience. Lastly, this guitar is over seven decades old, but still has almost surgical articulation. It is, of course, a survivor of a tempestuous 74 years, and it bears the scars of all that blood, sweat, and tears proudly, and doesn't suffer for it acoustically at all. And, to prevent any scars in the future, this Martin comes with a TKL tweed hardshell case.

Add to Compare2003 Martin MC-40 Eric Johnson Signature #12 of 90 East Indian/Engelmann
The folks at Martin Guitars have outdone themselves again. In collaboration with internationally acclaimed guitarist Eric Johnson, Martin released a limited run of “M” style (Jumbo shape with 000 depth) guitars to Johnson’s specifications in 2003. The result is visually distinctive and acoustically exciting. Thematically, the instrument’s appointments orbit (pardon the pun) around the angel inlay on the headstock and the constellations across the fretboard. The Engelmann Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides help create a lively, responsive tone to accompany these outstanding inlays. Martin’s M style is known for its tight, controlled bass and punchy, bell-like mids, and both of these characteristics are present in the Eric Johnson Signature Model—a tonal palette well-suited for Travis style fingerpicking or driving Swing rhythms. Moreover, the great articulation between the low and middle registers makes this guitar prime real estate to sing along with. This guitar comes with a Martin AVS hard case.

Add to Compare1996 Martin MTV-1 Indian & Mahogany/Spruce
In 1996 Martin Guitars teamed up with MTV to promote their new Unplugged concert series, and the result was a series of several hundred MTV Unplugged editions to the excitement of fans of both companies everywhere. One glance and you can see it’s special character: The letters “Unplugged” are inlaid into the fretboard in Abalone and glitter in any light. If you flip it over, you’ll see that the back is a split personality (or the union of two corporations): it has a Mahogany panel on the bass side and an Indian Rosewood panel for the treble. From this unexpected marriage we have a guitar with a surprisingly complex tone that has a solid response across all the registers. This guitar comes with the original hardshell case.

This also marks the revival of Martins “M” model, which always worked well in a recording setting. At number 14 of 48 this guitar is rare and valuable, it has an added bonus of having been signed by many of the performers of the 40th anniversary Festival! A fantastic tribute.
