Features We Love:

Authentic Series

Martin's Authentic Series recreates vintage instruments as closely as possible. Every detail, no matter how small, has been considered and executed with precision. From the original hide glue construction, 1937 era bracing pattern, period correct appointments, and a newly introduced more accurate body profile, this is the closest you'll get to the real deal from 1937.

Vintage Tone System

With the Vintage Tone System (VTS for short) Martin have developed an ageing process to target certain time periods and age their tone woods to that specific era. This process has used a torrefaction system to give this beautiful guitar an authentic sound character of a vintage 1930s era Martin.

Martin Quality

Martin are known for their incredible acoustic guitars but this takes things to a whole new level. Nothing short of a display of artistic talent, highly skilled luthiers have elevated this instrument to new heights, proving why Martin continues to be one of the top names around.
