Martin Junior
Refreshed, revised, and enhanced from end pin to headstock, Martin Junior Series instruments are ready to go wherever your music takes you. These guitars and basses merge timeless Martin tones with compact and portable designs, clocking in with a variety of body shapes — from dreadnoughts to 000s to modernized, cutaway-equipped creations. Martin Junior Series models flaunt sleek satin finishes, as well as bold StreetMaster and vintage-inspired StreetLegend Burst aesthetics to better draw the eyes of your audience. Featuring two new models — the 000 Jr-E sapele and the D Jr-E StreetLegend Burst — the Martin Junior Series offers more options than ever, so you can find your perfect fit.
Solid Wood Construction
Martin Junior Series models are crafted with solid woods to deliver the rich, full, and responsive sound that’s made Martin a 6-string legend since 1833. The lineup offers models with both spruce and sapele tops, with the former supplying a wide dynamic range with crisp clarity. In comparison, the Junior Series’ sapele-topped models sing with a warm and midrange-focused tone that’s beautifully balanced across the sonic spectrum. These tops are supported by scalloped X-bracing — a traditional Martin feature that grants these compact instruments superb projection and a lively feel. Furthermore, as solid woods only improve in sound over time, Martin Junior Series guitars will only sound better the more you play them.
Full 24.9-inch Scale Length
Every instrument in the Martin Junior Series boasts a full 24.9-inch scale length, ensuring a familiar feel on your fingers, plus optimized string tension and sharpened tonal clarity. This upgrade grants your Junior Series guitar the best of both worlds — the comfort of a smaller body and the projection, responsiveness, and resonance of a full-scale guitar. Whether you’re dishing out strummed cowboy chords, intricate lead lines, or complex melodic fingerstyle, Martin’s traditional 24.9-inch scale length emboldens your Junior Series guitar to take on any 6-string application.
Playability Enhancements
Comfort and performance lie at the heart of Martin’s Junior Series refresh. Every model within the series now sports subtly beveled fingerboard edges that mimic the feel of a broken-in 6-string from the first strum. String spacing has been refined at the nut, ensuring optimized accuracy and control for fingerstyle players and musicians with smaller hands. These qualities then combine with Martin’s fan-favorite Performing Artist profile and a high-performance neck taper to grant you a supremely smooth playing experience, allowing you to focus on what matters most — the music!
Martin E1 Electronics
Junior Series instruments are ready to hit the stage right out the box, boasting Martin E1 electronics for seamless plug-and-play amplification. This electronics system features volume, tone, and phase controls for easy sonic adjustments onstage. Plus, the system’s onboard chromatic tuner automatically mutes the guitar’s output when you plug in, allowing for stage-silent tuning. Straightforward, intuitive, and supremely reliable, the E1 electronics system gives you the power to take on everything from hushed coffeehouse gigs to stadium stages!
