Acoustic Guitars

We based this Custom Shop Martin on the discontinued Vintage series 0-28VS and we've been ordering it for LA Guitar Sales ever since that model was dropped. We changed the neck to modified low oval with 1-3/4" nut and 2-1/4" saddle spacing which translates to a more versatile and more playable acoustic for most folks. That along with premium woods throughout, Waverly tuners and a nice light construction mean this guitar looks and sounds as good as it plays. Learn More

Our latest house customs from the Martin Custom Shop feature 18 series appointments, all premium Mahogany construction and of course the 1-3/4" nut 2-1/4" saddle spacing combo. Full specs can be found under the Product Description tab Learn More

Martin has built the worlds finest ukuleles since 1916, and tenor ukes since 1929 that have long been prized for their full-bodied voice and great volume. The C1K concert-sized model features top, back and sides crafted of solid Hawaiian koa, a wood native to Hawaii and a favorite of island players. Entire body is finished in high quality satin lacquer, and features an applied dovetail neck joint. The C1K Uke is a beautiful example of why Martin is still the name in superior quality ukuleles.

000CJR-10E Bass Martin Junior Series instruments are slightly smaller than our full-sized instruments, but you won’t have to sacrifice tone or volume, and you’ll gain plenty of comfort and portability.

This solid wood Auditorium model is an affordable workhorse with tone for days. The acoustic-electric 000C-10E features a sapele body paired with a select hardwood neck, fingerboard, and bridge. Its popular 000 body size delivers both comfort and volume with a balanced tone across all six strings, perfect for strumming chords and fingerpicking. It’s a smaller, full-sized Martin that still packs a punch. Sapele is a wood that’s similar in appearance and tone to the genuine mahogany found on our higher-end models, providing a powerful midrange, great punch, and bright and airy trebles. This guitar gives you all the playability and tone of a solid wood Martin in an understated, no-frills package that’s ready to play right out of the box. Not only does the 000C-10E sound great unplugged, but the Fishman® Matrix VT Enhance electronics give you the option to plug in at home, on stage, and in the studio with onboard volume, tone, and blend controls.
