Browse All Martin Guitars
Every acoustic guitar you’ve ever heard owes something to a German cabinetmaker who arrived in New York in 1833 with a set of woodworking tools and a problem to solve. Flat-top guitars were quiet. Too quiet for anything beyond a parlour. Christian Frederick Martin Sr. spent the next decade experimenting with internal bracing until he landed on X-bracing — two struts crossed beneath the soundboard that let the top vibrate freely enough to fill a room. He moved the shop from Manhattan to Nazareth, Pennsylvania in 1839, and six generations later, that’s still where every Martin is built. That single structural idea became the foundation of every steel-string acoustic made since. The dreadnought, the OM, the auditorium — they all trace back to that workshop.
We just put eleven of them on our wall. Tapestry Music is now an authorized Martin Guitar dealer, and the full range is here in Vancouver: Junior Series, 2026 Road Series, SC Series, the all-mahogany 15 Series, and Standard Series icons like the D-28 and OM-28. From $779 to $5,219.
The sound on every record
The Martin D-28 is the most recorded acoustic guitar shape in history. Hank Williams played one. So did Johnny Cash, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan at the Newport Folk Festival in 1964. When Eric Clapton recorded Unplugged in 1992, the 000-42 he played helped sell 26 million copies. Kurt Cobain chose a D-18E for MTV Unplugged a year later. John Mayer's OM-28 is the guitar you hear on his acoustic tracks today.
That's not a coincidence. The dreadnought's wide lower bout and deep body produce bass response that sits in a mix without dominating it. The OM's tighter waist gives fingerpickers a balanced, articulate voice that records clean. These shapes stuck because they solved real problems for working musicians, and 191 years later, Martin still builds them in the same Nazareth factory.
The 2026 Road Series is all-solid wood for the first time
This is the headline from the 2026 announcement: Martin rebuilt the Road Series from scratch. Every model now ships with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid sapele back and sides — no laminates anywhere. Scalloped X-bracing opens up the top for projection and dynamic range you'd normally associate with guitars at twice the price.
The Performing Artist neck profile is a modern, comfortable C-shape that electric players will appreciate. E1 electronics with a built-in tuner mean you're gig-ready out of the case, and the satin finish has that broken-in feel from day one. Every Road Series ships with a softshell case included. These start at $1,699.
Road Series
Martin DC-10E Modern Black — Cutaway Dreadnought, E1 Electronics
$1,699.00
Martin DE Retro Plus Mahogany — Dreadnought, Fishman Retro Electronics
$2,679.00
The SC-13E plays like an electric
If you've ever fought a neck joint trying to reach the 14th fret on an acoustic, the SC Series exists for you. Martin's Sure Align bolt-on neck repositions the joint so you get unobstructed access all the way to the 20th fret. The Low Profile Velocity neck is fast and slim — closer to an electric feel than anything Martin has built before.
The SC-13E adds koa fine veneer on the back and sides and LR Baggs Element electronics for amplified tone that sounds like the guitar, not a piezo. For singer-songwriters who solo above the 12th fret and electric players who want a Martin they can actually stretch out on, this is the one to try.
SC Series
Martin SC-13E Modern — Cutaway, Koa Veneer, LR Baggs Element
$2,539.00
From a $779 koa ukulele to a $5,219 OM-28
The Road and SC Series sit in the sweet spot, but Martin's range goes both directions. The Junior Series gets you a real Martin — solid top, Fishman electronics, genuine X-bracing — in a compact body that fits overhead bins and student budgets. The D Jr E StreetMaster adds a distressed satin finish that feels like it's already been on a hundred gigs. The 000-15M is all-solid mahogany with a satin finish: a warm, focused fingerpicker that doesn't care about looks. Mahogany top and back give it a midrange-forward voice that sits beautifully in a mix without competing with vocals.
And the Standard Series? Those are the shapes that defined a century of recorded music. The D-18 and D-28 use dovetail neck joints and forward-shifted scalloped bracing — the same construction Martin has refined since the 1930s. The 000-18 is a smaller auditorium body with the same spruce-over-mahogany tonewood pairing, built for players who want Standard Series build quality in a more intimate size. The OM-28 is the fingerpicker's Standard: East Indian rosewood back and sides, balanced response across the full register, and the kind of overtone complexity that rewards years of playing. And if you're starting from the other end of the catalog, the C1K concert ukulele is built entirely from solid Hawaiian koa — a Martin through and through.
Junior Series
Martin 000C Jr E — Compact Body, Fishman Electronics
$1,059.00
Martin D Jr E StreetMaster — Distressed Satin, Fishman Electronics
$1,199.00

$4,949.00
Martin OM-28 — Solid Spruce/Rosewood, Orchestra Model
$5,219.00
Ukulele
Martin C1K Concert Ukulele — Solid Hawaiian Koa Top, Back, and Sides
$779.00
Solid wood opens up over time
Every Martin in our lineup uses solid tonewoods — spruce, rosewood, mahogany, sapele, koa — and solid wood does something laminates can't: it gets better. The cellular structure of a solid top loosens with vibration over years of playing. The low end fills out, the overtones develop complexity, and the guitar gains a responsiveness that a new instrument doesn't have yet. A D-28 bought today will sound noticeably richer five years from now.
That's the real argument for buying a Martin. It's not nostalgia. It's physics. Solid wood resonates more freely the more it vibrates, and Martin's scalloped X-bracing lets the top move. A guitar you keep playing becomes a guitar that keeps improving. When you factor in that Martin has been refining this construction for 191 years, the investment starts to make a different kind of sense.
