Production Martin Models

Martin 00-15M Lefty We like to have a few left handed guitars in stock here at the store, including a decent U.S. made solid wood model. Because of the superior comfort and popularity of the 00-15M, we stock it left handed as well. Despite being a smaller body shape, the all solid mahogany wood scheme yields plenty of warmth and volume. Understated looks but elegant at the same time. These wear in nicely as the years progress as well. Hardshell case included. The specs: 00 body shape Solid mahogany back and sides Solid mahogany top Satin finish Mahogany neck Rosewood fretboard and bridge Diamonds and squares abalone inlays Modified low oval neck shape 25.4 inch scale 1-11/16 inch nut width Nickel butterbean tuners Hardshell case included

Dreadnaught Jr Released in 2015, the Dreadnaught Jr. guitars immediately impressed us. The Dreadnaught Jr. is a scaled-down Dreadnaught shape with a slightly shorter 24-inch scale. This makes it extraordinarily comfortable to play. Another nice surprise is the solid sapele back and sides, an unusual feature in an under-$1,000 guitar. The top is available in solid Sitka spruce or solid sapele. Thanks to the all-solid-wood construction, this guitar delivers a much bigger and surprisingly fuller sound than one would expect from the small body and short scale. With its optional Fishman Sonitone electronics, you can enjoy this wonderful little guitar plugged in as well. We stock the Dreadnaught Jr. Model DJr-10-02 (pictured), with a solid Sitka spruce top. DJrE-10-02 (Sitka spruce top with pickup)
