About Martin Guitars

C.F. Martin & Co. has built guitars in Nazareth, Pennsylvania for nearly two hundred years, and most of what the world considers a normal acoustic guitar, from X bracing to the dreadnought body, started there. A Martin is less a brand choice than a reference point: it is the sound most other flattops are compared against.

We organize our Martin collection online the way players actually shop: by model family. Dreadnought players go straight to the D-18s and D-28s. Fingerstyle players head for the OMs and 000s. Players who want vintage tone with modern reliability find the Modern Deluxe series, and collectors gravitate to Authentic and Custom Shop builds that never come through twice.

Every Martin we sell lives in our humidity-controlled Roswell showroom, gets inspected on arrival, and crosses Georgia's only PLEK station before delivery if it is over $3K. If you are within driving distance of Atlanta, come play them in person. If you are not, we will demo any guitar on video.

Frequently asked questions

Which Martin is best for bluegrass?

The D-28 is the traditional answer and the D-18 is the close second. Rosewood D-28s deliver the low-end power that drives a jam, while mahogany D-18s cut with a dry punch many flatpickers prefer. We stock both families in depth, including the Billy Strings D-28.

Which Martin is best for fingerstyle?

Start with the OM and 000 family. The auditorium body balances bass and treble so melody lines stay clear, and the OM's wider nut gives your fingers room to work. The OM-28 is the benchmark; the 000-18 is its warmer mahogany cousin.

Do you carry Martin Authentic and Custom Shop models?

Yes, regularly. Authentic series recreations of the prewar D-18 and D-28 and one-off Custom Shop builds, including guitars we commission at NAMM, rotate through the showroom constantly. That inventory changes fast, so check back or call for first look.
