C. 1850 Martin 2-27: You can't be a collector or player of vintage guitars if you don't have a special place in your heart for these 19th century Martins. Even though they are much smaller than their contemporary counterparts, they have an amazing tone and an exceptional amount of volume as compared with other instruments of the same period. It is easily understood why Martin guitars became so desirable. The Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back & sides are incredible to behold. This example has a real Ivory bridge (perhaps added later or it may have been custom ordered that way). There have been a few repairs over its 160+ years, but the guitar will still be bringing sweet sounds to the world for another 160. An unbelievably exquisite treasure nestled in its original 'coffin' case. $5000 Stock#UGC34832

1931 Martin 1-17: A very well travelled small bodied all Mahogany Martin that has served players well for over 75 years. This is one of those ever-so-sweet little Martins whose voice exceeds what one might expect from such a diminutive body.  Slotted peghead 12 fret neck, in the vintage V shape with loads of that vintage Martin tone. Priced to play. With original chipboard case. $2250 Stock#UGB30945 photo

1954 Martin 0-15: If you aren't one of the folks who dearly love these all Mahogany concert bodied Martins, then you need to go to guitar appreciation class. This beautiful little guitar has a perfect neck set, low, fingerstyle action and shows only the slightest of imperfections in a couple of short repaired side cracks. Blues, country, fiddle backup, you name it, and this baby can do it. With hard case. $2450 Stock#UGB34857

1958 Martin 0-15: Players of all styles just love the sound of these vintage all Mahogany small bodied Martins. Of course they do! The tone is crystal clear with sweet, sweet high that ring like little chimes and the balance between bass, mids and trebles is about as perfect as it gets. Have you played one yet? You could easily fall in love all over again. With chipboard case. $2000 Stock#UGB34734 PHOTO

1927 Martin 0-18: We LOVE guitars like this! Played and played until it would seem to the casual observer that it might be all worn out. But nothing could be further from the truth. This guitar has more tone and soul than a dozen new whatevers.   The top is full of scars where it has been strongly played. There's even the outline of a former pickguard. The neck has been slimmed down to make it convenient for rockers who love those whippy necks. However, and this is a big however, the tone is absolutely amazing. All the properties players love in these vintage small body Martins. You may not appreciate its looks, but you'll love the tone. With gig bag $2000 Stock#UGC34618 photo

1907 Martin 00-21: This is one of those guitars that you can't help but love. An over 100 year old Martin "New Yorker" with so much tone, that it sounds like a symphony orchestra. This well used, often repaired little sweetheart has an amazing bottom end, especially for such a diminutive instrument. The ancient Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back and sides combine to produce as magnificent a tone as you will ever hear. The top has been cracked and repaired, the bridge has been replaced, and the back & sides show their share of repairs as well. However, we have priced it as a player's instrument, one that, based on the tone, is undervalued. With hard case. $3500 Stock#UGB31569 photo

Used Martin 00-28VS: All ye folkies and fingerpickers gather 'round. This is an example of why Martin guitars are held in such high esteem. Exquisitely proportioned in the Martin way with a Sitka Spruce top and indian Rosewood back & sides. Factory installed Fishman Matrix ellipse blend pickup system. This 12 fret beauty has all you want and more. With hard case. $2650 Stock#UGC33966 PHOTO

Used Martin 000C David Gray: The Martin David Gray signature model is of course named for the Irish singer-songwriter who has sold over 12 million recordings. The guitar itself is a terrifically well balanced with an Italian Alpine Spruce top supported by Martin's highly developed scalloped X bracing. The back and sides are genuine Mahogany which contributes greatly to the overall evenness of tone. Each guitar is numbered and signed by both C.F. Martin IV and David Gray. This one is #12 of the limited edition. With hard case. $2100 Stock#UGC34697 PHOTO

New! Martin OMC-18LJ: One of the most advanced and specialized Martin guitar series in later years has been the Laurence Juber signature series. Under the guidance of Mr. Juber, Martin created the ultimate in fingerstyle excellence. The model OMC-18LJ features the powerful Adirondack Spruce top with the crystal clear response of Mahogany back & sides. The guitar also features a cutaway for playing up the neck in the "Juber zone". Extremely well balanced, with a super comfortable Martin neck, this is the 21st Century version of the tried and true Martin OM series. With hard case. (msrp: $4799) Stock#NGC34749 PHOTO

New! Martin D-1GT: Every bit of 21st Century knowledge has gone into the making of this affordable Martin dreadnought for the new age. The stronger-than-a-bridge multi laminate neck, the advanced bracing system, and of course, the Martin sound. Now with a high gloss top. With hard case (msrp:$1199) Stock#NGB33995

New! Martin D Mahogany 09: Players seeking the real Bluegrass cannon know all about the fabulous Martin D-18GE. That's the Spruce top, Mahogany back & sides dreadnought with the powerful articulation, resounding bass response and volume and power to spare. But wait...... what's this? Take that same impressive D-18GE and craft it using all certified renewable woods. THIS is that guitar. We challenge you to pick the two apart in a blindfold test. You can't do it. So let's all get behind saving our forests and grab one of these beauties. You'll be happy you did, and so will our planet. With hard case. (msrp: $3499) Stock#NGC34733

2008 Martin HD-28: Here's a nicely maintained four year old example of the guitar that most pickers think of when they think of Martin or any other guitar for that matter. This is the big bodied dreadnought with the Sitka Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back & sides. What sets it apart from all other is the delicate herringbone pattern top border. Not just a decorative element, but the herringbone indicates that inside the guitar where it matters most, Martin has shaved (scalloped) the bracing in a profile that resembles the Golden Gate Bridge. To those who have never investigated the difference that this procedure produces, let us give you a hnt of what it entails. Every single part of the tonal spectrum is enhanced including volume and projection. Bigger bass, more responsive trebles and warmer mid tones too. THIS is a what a Martin guitar is all about. With built in active pickup system too. With hard case. $1995 Stock#UGB29084 PHOTO

Used Martin HJ-38 Stefan Grossman: For many players, this is the ultimate Martin guitar. As versatile as it is attractive. Built on the Martin J platform, this limited edition was conceived with assistance of renowned player, teacher and author Stefan Grossman. With a Spruce top and stunning Madagascar Rosewood back & sides, the HJ-38 SG is extremely well balanced. Strong, yet not overpowering bass, warm, rich mid range, and highs that enhance the melodic lines. This is just an extremely good guitar, the only problem is that if you have other guitars, they will end up in a closet as you play this one exclusively. #11 of the limited edition. With hard case. $3500 Stock#UB26644
