Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 2013

  Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 2013

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought appeared in 1965 but made its catalog debut in 1966, and was a practical response to increasing demand for square-shouldered dreadnoughts.   Demand was so high for that specific body design that Gibson altered several round-shouldered models, including the iconic J-45 to the square-shouldered design.

Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

    Martin M-36 Steel String Guitar Natural, 2012

The Martin M-36 is based on the very successful Martin M, or 0000 ‘Quadruple O’ size body. This is larger than any of the single to triple 0 size bodies, yet smaller than a dreadnought; consequently it is fairly loud with great projection, and has a very evenly represented tone and is very comfortable to play. It’s ideal for solo performers but fits well into ensembles and extremely well into recording situations.

  Martin D-18 Dreadnought Natural, 1989

The Martin D-18 Dreadnought has become one of the standard go-to guitars, used by artists in almost every genre. Introduced in 1932 with a 12-fret neck – the 14-fret neck was added in 1934 – the Martin D-8 dreadnought is based on the 1916 – 1930 Dreadnought 111 for the Oliver Ditson Company. Only 18 of that model had been built.

Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Natural, 1973

 Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Guitar Natural, 1973

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought first appeared in 1965, partly as a way to use the remaining stock of Brazilian Rosewood sections that were too small for a two-piece back. Drawing from the very successful D bodied Dreadnought, the Martin D-35 was placed between the venerable D-28 and more expensively decorated D-41 and D-45 models.

!!! Martin OM-18GE 1930 Golden Era Natural, 2003

The Martin OM-18GE 1930, replicating the specifications for the new-for-1930 Orchestra Model, was built from 2003 to 2009. The Orchestra Model was originally designed for Percy Bechtel, a prominent banjoist and band leader in the 1920s, to aid transition from banjo to guitar. Construction of the Martin OM-18GE 1930 model closely follows the original spec, with an Adirondack Spruce top, Tropical Mahogany for the sides, back, body blocks and neck.
