ERIES

instruments combine the look

and feel of classic, pre-World War II Martins with modern
improvements and materials. The result: instruments of
extraordinary elegance, power and playability.
Such vintage features as grained ivoroid binding, herringbone
trim, old-style squared headstock, scalloped forward-shifted
Dreadnought “X” bracing, modified V-shaped neck,
period fingerboard inlays, old-style long or through
saddles, aging toner finish and vintage-style tuning
machines are used extensively. Necks are hand fit using
a wood-to-wood dovetail attachment for best tone.

Guitars are constructed of solid premium woods,
including East Indian rosewood, genuine mahogany,
select quarter-sawn Sitka spruce and ebony.
While these instruments are built on original patterns from
the ’30s, they benefit from over a half a century of continual
advances in guitar design and construction. All feature
Martin’s adjustable truss rod and modified V-shape neck.
Vintage Series guitars include vintage Geib style cases.
