From Martin:
A Martin isn’t just a guitar. It’s playable history; part of a long line of legendary instruments stretching back to the company’s beginnings in 1833. Our guitars were strummed by Civil War soldiers around campfires, helped shape the sound of modern music at the turn of the 20th century, and were played by music’s first superstars like Jimmie Rodgers and Gene Autry. Decades later, Martins floored the crowd at Woodstock, then took center stage on MTV Unplugged, and can be heard on countless classic and contemporary songs across all genres of music. Artists like Hank Williams, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Neil Young, Ed Sheeran, John Mayer, Seth Avett, and many others all played Martins, creating much of the soundtrack of the last century. And who knows? With one of our instruments in your hand, you could help write the soundtrack for the next century.

Great video really helped clarify things for me
Subscribed????
I have a d-16A, made of mountain ash
I have a D 18 and find it terrific and better than a 00028EC I owned. What I am not sure is are more expensive Martins like the 45 or D 23 better in sound or just fancier and prettier? Thanks ????
'63 Dread here. Just saying . . .
Buying my first martin today. Used D10e. Only have played seagull and Taylor this far so excited to venture to Martin now. Thanks for the video this was helpful
What is a 1996 Martin MTV1 Unplugged worth? Maybe played 5 times at most. Has just been in it's case for years… like new
I have a ooo 15 and have my eye on the ooo 17 black smoke. How much of a difference is there? I would like to have both cause I love my ooo 15.
martin only made 6 guitars d 18 28 35 41 42 45
This is the 1st vid I have seen like this where every model is explained.
You easily earned my sub sir!
This was a detailed and incredibly helpful explanation of the Martin line! Thank you!
Nice Marshal Half Stack ya got there!
Excellent guide, thank you
Thanks helped a lot knowing what’s what
Great review!
BTW , the 0-18, 00-18, 000-18 & D-18 have Genuine Mahogany back & sides as listed in the specifications. Genuine Mahogany is Honduran Mahogany and is one of the highest quality and most expensive types of mahogany. Other models that are listed as Mahogany back & sides are not made with Honduran Mahogany.
Id love a martin guitar going to have to save, worth it though
HD 28 not mentioned.
I wish I. had the money for Martin. I would buy a D28.
Get yourself Martin worth every penny
“You’re in the market to buy a new Martin” NEVER HAVE I INSTINCTIVELY INSTANTLY LAUGHED SO HARD
I wis[h you had included the differences of interior bracing of models . My 1994 HD282R Herringbone has foward bracIng and my 1978 D28 does not.
Best guitar revieew/information channel on YouTube.
Isn't there a difference in bracing between the 41 and 42?
I absolutely f*cking hate this company (yes I'm bitter). Every time I get close to getting one, they seem to up their prices and unfortunately life gets in the way and I can't get one. While their guitars are absolutely magical, I just can't justify their prices. Was ready to get one and saw they added £400 to the price tag WTF! Guess I'm getting a J45 then.
This is a great video. Thanks for breaking this all down!
I have been loyal to Martin for awhile, but not after being disappointed by some rivals. I have arrived at a standard OM28 with a KnK mini installed. My beater is a modern 000 17 that I have already played the finish off. I dropped it. Now the side is cracked. If it gets too dry, a brace will rattle. I'm cautious with the 28, but I drive the wheels off the 17, and keep her out of the case most of the time. Fussing over gear is a muse killer for me. This guitar feels like good boots that are broke in.
Which guitars have the martin logo going down the middle of the head?
Excellent video
I haven’t heard anything about the EA 20 series
Martins living of there name there is no way they sound as good as the old Martins I tried lots and other guitars other companies sound better and cheaper to buy ,I prefer Guild they have consistently been great over the years and still there guitars sound amazing.
There are some crappy looking finger boards out there. Mine is really ugly. Plays great but ugly, streaky, blotched.
THANKS FOR DOING THIS!!!! SO HELPFUL!!!
Great info! The only detail left out is different nut widths… Pretty important spec for some players.
I believe (no data to back this up) that if you had ten Martins of one model and you play them all, one might have "the magic" and be fantastic, ,maybe two, some pretty good (do you want to spend thousands for mediocre?), some okay, and one or two not so good. Maybe they'll open up and the magic surface and maybe not. Conclusion: you have to go try them and it's not wise to buy them from an online box.
I'm thinking buying GPC X2E.
I've owned at least 20. Wish I kept them all. '58 000-18, '59 D-28, '50 D-18, plus some newer ones- D-41, D-45, 000-42 to name
a few. Right now they have the modern deluxe series, I bought the 000-18 and 000-42. Those are as good in every way as
any I have had.
Love my 0-18, just wish they would make a 0-28!
Terrific explanation. I recently bought my first Martin. I jumped in by buying a used D-18 model (made in Nazareth in 2019). I couldn't be happier. I wanted the beautiful sound, the quality, the prestige and the company history of a Martin. I got everything I wanted. I agree with you: Above the D-18 ($$-wise) the extra money buys bling. I don’t have anything against bling, except that I just don't want to pay for it, especially for my first and only acoustic guitar. Thanks for this fantastic video. I learned far more from your video than I learned during my Martin factory tour in June. ❤
I bought a GPC OOO road series special from MF. It is solid wood sapele b&S spruce top and ebony fretboard and bridge. Great snappy tone machine. Single cutaway with fishman electronics. Only $699 from the Mexican factory.
I have a DM. I can't find a D- number.
Here is a little secret. Sigma and Martin still made guitars together. The ones made in 1980 to 1982 will have sigma Martin on the head stock. After 1982 they changed the head stock to Martin Shenandoah that ran from 1983 to 1993. The ones with sigma on the head stock are cheaper to buy. Same guitar just a different name on the head stock.
The most beautiful sounding guitars I have ever played.
D-42 and d-42 koa and the 00-15sm are incredible.
Dream guitars.
Someone like me who sweat alot and gets fingerprints everywhere, i always like matt/satin guitars over gloss
D45 has scalloped braces…
Martin needs some better Marketing professionals…their offering is way too complex for all but the most rabid Martin enthusiasts to understand!
Since when is there a D36 – M36 yes, but its a D35
Forgot the CEO 7
This is such an informative video, well done!
