Martin Standard Series with Classic Tonewood Pairings
The Martin Standard Series typically begins with the pairing of Sitka spruce tops with either East Indian rosewood back and sides or hand-selected mahogany back and sides. The results for either pairing deliver lush low end blended beautifully with present highs and a warm midrange, with incredible volume, projection, and sustain. Strum a Martin Standard Series acoustic guitar and you will feel it through your entire body.
Martin Retooled the Standard Series Guitars in 2018
Never content with resting on their achievements, the Martin Standard Series was reimagined in 2018. One of the key elements that was introduced to the Martin Standard Series of acoustic guitars at this time was the more modern High Performance Taper neck. This slimmer neck profile suits the modern player who likes a cut that allows for both comfortable chording as well as lead playing.
Martin Built the Standard Series to Look and Sound Great
Another key feature of the Martin Standard Series is its forward-shifted scalloped bracing that enhances greater vibration at the top; the low end lasts longer, the midrange sticks around, and the high end sings stronger. For the Martin Standard Series, they have also reintroduced classic, vintage appointments like open-gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white binding, and a faux tortoise pickguard — all features that not only add to the visual delight of these amazing acoustics, but also enhance the sound in subtle ways.
The Martin Standard Series of guitars continues to inspire and mesmerize players all over the world, from porch pickers playing bluegrass, country, and folk to professional touring musicians like John Mayer. Play any of the Martin Standard Series and you will see, feel, and hear why!
