The Most Authentic “New Old” Martins Ever.

Yes, Martin really does “make them like they used to.” With the help of the Smithsonian Institute’s highly advanced CAT scan machines, Martin’s guitar design team literally saw the past in high res images of vintage Martins from 1931, 1933, 1936, 1939, and 1941. In incredible detail, the images revealed numerous hidden features and subtle nuances in craftsmanship of these magnificent works of art built during Martin’s “golden era.”

At the NY Guitar Expo folks can expect a full array of brand new Martin models including the New Authentics and Retro Series, Custom Shop creations and Artist Signature models. A few very special Martin museum pieces will also be on display. Martin Gear and Strings will be raffled off hourly throughout the show. I’m very excited!

As a result, we can authentically replicate virtually every aspect of vintage construction – from minute differences in bridge plate thicknesses to unique neck and bracing pattern subtleties to the delicate hide glued cloth side reinforcement strips. All Martin Authentic Series guitars for 2013 feature thinner headstocks, fingerboards, bridge wings, and bridge plates. Solid pearl inlays are period correct in shape, size, dimension, and placement. We’ve also gone back to the original sound-hole sizes and positions, and milled the thicknesses of tops and backs to the old specs. No detail has been overlooked – including hide glue construction, early logo art treatment, and a dozen other authentic vintage features.

Like their historic namesakes, these Authentic instruments require a great deal of handwork, finesse, and painstaking attention to detail at every stage of construction and assembly. Five classic vintage models are being offered in limited quantities – the D-45S Authentic 1936 (14-fret), D-28 Authentic 1931 (12 fret), D-28 Authentic 1941 (14 fret), D-18 Authentic 1939 (14-fret) and OM-18 Authentic 1933.
