Martin Premier Guitars

    It can be confusing looking at all the different series that Martin produces and understanding the features that seperate each one. Each series represents the tradition and quality that Martin is known for keeping in mind their original designs. However, as you move up the line the guitars reflect more and more the original pre-war Martins. The progression and features that make each series unique are as follows:

Standard Series - These guitars are built using Martin's traditional features such as the dovetail neck joint and X style bracing pattern but also with a few modern features such as closed gear grover tuners, Sitka Spruce tops and braces, and rosewood fingerboards and bridges on the Mahogany guitars.

Vintage Series - This series takes a few more steps in replicating the respected pre-war Martins. Features such as the foward shifted scalloped bracing, modified "V" neck profile, bone nut and saddle ( long style ), grained ivorioid binding, vintage open geared tuners, and genuine ebony fingerboards and bridges on all models make the Vintage Series more attractive to purists.

Marquis Series - Yet another step back in time. The main feature that sets this series apart is the Adirondack top and bracing pattern where up until this series it has been Sitka Spruce. Some other things that make this series more like the originals are the 1 3/4" nut width with the "V" neck profile, fossilized ivory nut and saddle, vintage paper interior label, and Madagascar Rosewood overlays. Do note that the rosewood guitars in this series are still East Indian Rosewood.

Golden Era Series - This line is very similar to the Marquis Series with a couple of minor alterations. The headplate overlay is Brazilian Rosewood making it more authentic and the vintage paper label is signed by C.F.M. IV. Note that this series does not offer a rosewood model.

Authentic Series - This is the most "authentic" of them all. We often tell people that if you could get in a time machine and go back to 1937 you would have this same guitar. Everything about this one is exactly like pre-war Martins from the Hyde glue wood joints and steel T bar neck reinforcement to the exact tonewoods and even the neck profile itself. The woods used in this guitar are the same woods used as they were in 1937 (including Brazilian Rosewood on the D-28 Model) and even the case has been reproduced to make this series everything that even the most die hard purist would look for.
