About Martin Junior Series

Martin Junior Series is a range of acoustic guitars by Martin. Designed to be compact and portable, they bridge the size difference between a travel guitar and a traditional acoustic instrument. Still regarded as full-size due to their ‘Martin standard’ 24.9” scale length, the Martin Junior series nevertheless have  bodies that are roughly 15% smaller than standard, and slim necks for a scaled-down, lightweight experience. Martin Junior guitars are available in mostly the classic Martin 000 and dreadnought body shaped guitars, with a range of tonewoods and finishing options to choose from.

Why Should I Choose Martin Junior Series?

  • You want a compact guitar, but travel guitars are too small
  • You want an affordable genuine Martin guitar that you can take anywhere
  • A legitimate alternative to standard acoustic guitars that still feels traditional
