Martin lovers, rejoice! We just landed a sweet old package in the shop: a 1941 Martin 000-28, formerly owned by famed guitarist of Union Station, co-founder of Blue Highway, and accomplished producer of performers like Kenny Chesney: Tim Stafford. This guitar has bucketfuls of tone; it's got tone spilling out of the sound hole the second you pull it out of the case. And what a wonderful sound this Martin makes! The Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and the Engelmann Spruce top have opened up completely, giving the guitar a strong, hearty, mature character. This one's definitely not over the hill yet: it sounds as loud and as strong as someone in their prime. It belts it out, too—and the entire instrument vibrates as you play it; it's an enveloping experience. Lastly, this guitar is over seven decades old, but still has almost surgical articulation. It is, of course, a survivor of a tempestuous 74 years, and it bears the scars of all that blood, sweat, and tears proudly, and doesn't suffer for it acoustically at all. And, to prevent any scars in the future, this Martin comes with a TKL tweed hardshell case.

Add to Compare2003 Martin MC-40 Eric Johnson Signature #12 of 90 East Indian/Engelmann
The folks at Martin Guitars have outdone themselves again. In collaboration with internationally acclaimed guitarist Eric Johnson, Martin released a limited run of “M” style (Jumbo shape with 000 depth) guitars to Johnson’s specifications in 2003. The result is visually distinctive and acoustically exciting. Thematically, the instrument’s appointments orbit (pardon the pun) around the angel inlay on the headstock and the constellations across the fretboard. The Engelmann Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides help create a lively, responsive tone to accompany these outstanding inlays. Martin’s M style is known for its tight, controlled bass and punchy, bell-like mids, and both of these characteristics are present in the Eric Johnson Signature Model—a tonal palette well-suited for Travis style fingerpicking or driving Swing rhythms. Moreover, the great articulation between the low and middle registers makes this guitar prime real estate to sing along with. This guitar comes with a Martin AVS hard case.

In 1996 Martin Guitars teamed up with MTV to promote their new Unplugged concert series, and the result was a series of several hundred MTV Unplugged editions to the excitement of fans of both companies everywhere. One glance and you can see it’s special character: The letters “Unplugged” are inlaid into the fretboard in Abalone and glitter in any light. If you flip it over, you’ll see that the back is a split personality (or the union of two corporations): it has a Mahogany panel on the bass side and an Indian Rosewood panel for the treble. From this unexpected marriage we have a guitar with a surprisingly complex tone that has a solid response across all the registers. This guitar comes with the original hardshell case.

Add to Compare2010 Martin 0-42 Custom Shop Madagascar/Engelmann
The folks who run the Custom Shop at Martin Guitars know what they’re doing: one look at the Custom 0-42, and you’ll see what we mean. In pairing Madagascar Rosewood back and sides with a European Spruce top, they gave this guitar a sumptuously rich voice with sparkling trebles and a room-filling bottom end. Not satisfied with an instrument which simply sounded great, the Martin Custom Shop then adorned this guitar with their 42-style Abalone appointments, from the torch headstock and snowflake fretboard inlay to the body bindings and rosette, making this guitar a stunning gem you won’t want to shut up in its case for long. Laid into with a thumbpick for Ragtime or Blues and this guitar barks with the best of them; strummed gently for Early American ballads, you’ve a sirensong on your hands. Regardless of your style, the notes which escape the Abalone-bound soundhole will hang in the air for what feels like a lifetime (which is about how long you’ll want to keep playing this 0-42 as well).

Here we have a Martin 000-42M Eric Clapton in Carpathian Spruce and Madagascar Rosewood. If you know anything about Eric Clapton, you know he is an incredible guitarist with a discerning ear. He won’t let just anyone make a guitar model with his name on it, it has to be a great company and the good folks at Martin are just the people for the job. This 000-42M was modeled after Eric’s personal 1939 000-42, which in its own right is an incredibly famous guitar, big shoes to fill to be sure. We think they hit the ball out of the park with this one, it has the look and feel of that great pre-war 000 that Eric loves so much. Tonally this 000 is perfect for fingerpicking and performs brilliantly even under a flatpick. It has an ideal blend and balance from bass to mids to trebles, with a sublime voice and style.

Add to Compare1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top Indian/Sitka
Occasionally a guitar comes along with an exceptionally fine voice and the owner of whatever store it ends up in just has to buy it for him or herself. Such was the case for Danny Brevard, the founder of Acoustic Pro Musician, when this 1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top came through the door. When we acquired Danny’s store upon his retirement, he decided to finally part ways with his long-time companion and placed it in our care to sell on his behalf. This guitar is the embodiment of what we have come to expect from the pairing of East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. It has a balanced voice with great projection that will cut nicely through in a group playing session. It is easy to see why Danny kept this one for himself for so long!
Before we made this guitar available for sale, Stephen Kinnaird, a certified Martin repairman, gave it a beautiful neck reset and full setup. The bridge, saddle, nut, finish and frets are all original. Danny replaced the pickguard (the original is still in the case) with a TorTis® pickguard and also installed upgraded Gotoh Gold open-backed tuners. The guitar is fabulous and the price is right. Original “Blue” Martin case included!
