Eastman's Double Top Series feature an innovative take on the classic flat top design. With a unique modification to their top tonewoods, these guitars are more resonant, responsive, and feature better note clarity and balance. The Double Top models feature a pair of one-millimetre-thin spruce slices that are adjoined by Nomex. The latter is a honeycomb-like resinous substance – patented by DuPont – that was originally designed for use in the aerospace industry. It functions as a rigid wall between the two spruce pieces, adding on layers of density and depth. Yet, the added density does not compromise the guitars’ lightness and sonic range. They are designed to respond to all types of vibrations and can handle a variety of styles, ranging from intricate solo picking to larger band setups. Learn More

“Salt Air, Dry Brush, Ocean Waves, Misted Forests, Weathered Boulders. Our home, California, inspires the design that sculpts the shape and timber that make D’Ambrosio Series.” The Eastman D’Ambrosio Series, designed and built in California, pays homage to the enduring Golden State tradition of innovating right to the edge. With beautifully worn curves echoing the coveted coastline and a player-centric design, the D’Ambrosio Series may feel comforting and familiar. However, these are unique instruments where innovation blends with tradition. When something new also feels reassuringly familiar in an old-fashioned way, you know you’ve found a new home. D’Ambrosio guitars carry on the heritage of matching California design with down-to-earth playability. Introducing the 
FullerTone Neck
 MORE TONE, More Sustain, More Stability At the heart of D’Ambrosio Series design lies a beautiful innovation: the FullerTone neck. Envisioned and brought to life by master luthier and head of design, Otto D'Ambrosio, this completely new long-tenon, 2 bolt, neck to body connection redefines industry standard. The body-to-neck joint is the most important connection on a guitar. It acts as a bridge of energy; transferring resonance, sustain and tone while providing stability to the guitar. The FullerTone neck fulfills this ambition, securing unprecedented three-times greater neck-to-body contact for unhindered resonance transfer. The gracious body geometry cradles the neck in perfect harmonious position, secured by two machine-threaded screws locked into steel anchors embedded in the neck. The complete design is a fusion of old-world craftsmanship and modular versatility—the first bolt-on neck tuned to rival the sustain and stability of a set-neck guitar. With the Fullertone neck, Otto’s vision for a guitar with seamless tonal continuity, from headstock to bridge, is fully realized; maximizing its tonal potential. We call it T.S.S: More Tone. More Sustain. More Stability. Beautiful Tonewoods Tell Stunning Stories Swamp Ash and wildfire-burned Phoenix Pine serves as the heart of D’Ambrosio Series. Wildfire-burned Phoenix Pine is one of two tonewoods that serve as the heart of D’Ambrosio Series Roasted Phoenix Pine, salvaged sustainably in the process of regenerating the Oregon wilds, is given a second life, with a controlled heat treatment granting complexity - modern era clarity with smoky overtones.

In light of his ever-expanding reputation and fan base, Martin collaborated with John Mayer on the creation of a second namesake guitar, one with many of the same attributes as his first OM-28JM Limited Edition, but one that would be more affordable and more widely available in the tradition of the popular Martin 000-28EC Eric Clapton model. This tasteful Orchestra Model exhibits versatility for today's diverse contemporary musical styles. Like its predecessor, the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition features a top of Engelmann spruce and back and sides of East Indian rosewood for warm, rich tone. Scalloped "Hybrid" bracing enhances the full timbre of this tonewood combination. Body appointments are also similar, with a Style 45 rosette featuring a center ring of colorful paua shell, bold herringbone around the top, black/white back purfling around the back, grained ivoroid binding throughout, an HD Style zigzag back strip, and a traditional OM teardrop polished and beveled tortoise pickguard. The Spanish cedar neck with diamond volute is carved with playing comfort in mind, combining 1-11/16" width and low profile shape for easy fretting. The East Indian rosewood headplate sports Martin's Old Style decal in silver rather than the familiar gold (another nod to the OM-28JM John Mayer Signature Edition) and nickel Gotoh open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs. The black African ebony fingerboard highlights 1/8" mother of pearl position markers at the 5th, 7th (two), 9th, 15th and 17th frets, a unique 12th fret position marker of two dots flanking a slotted square, and John Mayer's signature inlaid in mother of pearl between the 19th and 20th frets. Style 45 white bridge pins and endpin are inlaid with abalone dots. The black African ebony bridge is fitted with a compensated TUSQ saddle, which combines with the factory-installed Martin Gold Plus Natural electronics for accurate, natural amplified sound. Adding to the beauty of this instrument is the flawless finish; vintage toner on the top, polished gloss nitrocellulose lacquer on the body and polished gloss on the headplate. To provide a touch of his personal style to the OMJM John Mayer Special Edition guitar, John Mayer has created a unique art deco-inspired monogram, which is embroidered on the special vintage Geib style hardshell case. Each guitar in this open series bears an interior label imprinted with the signatures of John Mayer and Martin Chairman C. F. Martin IV, and individually numbered in sequence. The Thinline Series Gold+Plus systems include an active endpin-mounted buffered preamp to achieve the most accurate and acoustic tone. The Gold+Plus Natural captures and amplifies the natural voice of instruments with well-balanced, evenly voiced top to bottom response. Includes case. Full specs are as follows: Body Style/Shape 000, 14-fret Left-/Right-handed Right-handed Color Natural with Vintage Toner Finish Polished Gloss (top, back, and sides), Satin (neck) Top Wood Solid Engelmann Spruce Back & Sides Wood Solid East Indian Rosewood Body Bracing Hybrid X Scalloped, 5/16" Solid Sitka Spruce Neck Wood Select Hardwood Fingerboard Material Solid Black Ebony Fingerboard Inlay Mother of Pearl (Dots: Single at 5th and 9th; Double at 9th and 12th)(Squares: Single at 15th and 17th) Binding Grained Ivoroid Neck Shape Low Profile Number of Frets 20 (total), 14 (clear) Scale Length 25.4" Tuning Machines Gotoh Nickel Open-Geared with Butterbean Knobs Bridge Material Solid Black Ebony Nut/Saddle Material Bone/16" Radius Compensated White TUSQ Nut Width 1-11/16" Body Length 19-3/8" Body Width 15" Body Depth 4-1/8" Overall Length 39-13/16" Electronics Martin Gold Plus Natural 1 Strings Martin SP Lifespan Phosphor Bronze Light Gauge Case Included Deluxe Hardshell with JM Logo Learn More

Please note that Rainsong has closed it's doors so once the current stock sells out we will not have any more new Rainsongs available. RainSong Graphite Guitars, the premier builder of Carbon/Graphite acoustic guitars, is excited to introduce Vintage and Nashville featuring the new Soundboard Fusion Technology (SFT). To combine the stability and robustness of carbon fiber with the traditional aesthetics of wood, RainSong has developed SFT: Soundboard Fusion Technology. After careful experimentation, we are able to fuse a thin spruce soundboard and a unidirectional pre-impregnated carbon in a single molding step. The resulting SFT soundboard is a composite matrix that resonates as a single unit, like a solid wood soundboard. The physical properties of the carbon fiber far exceed those of the thin wood. Hence the SFT soundboard maintains the imperviousness to humidity and temperature of carbon fiber. An SFT soundboard delivers rich carbon sound colored by wood. Perfect for those looking for a bulletproof guitar with tone that stays as close to their wood guitar as possible. The Vintage embodies understated elegance. The unidirectional carbon/spruce SFT soundboard is finished with an amber tint. The Auditorium body sports a simple pinstripe rosette, abalone dot neck inlays and a tortoise shell pickguard. The N2 neck has a 25.4” scale length, 14 frets clear of the body and 1.75” width at the nut. Learn More

Platinum recording artist, Brooke Ligertwood has seen wide-ranging global success across various genres.

This auditorium style guitar is tastefully designed with a clean aesthetic and is available with and without a sunburst top. The model was inspired by a combination of Brooke's favorite aspects of Martin's Paul Simon and Eric Clapton Custom Artist models that are part of Brooke's collection. Personalized features on this model includes a simple wreath pattern inlay on the headstock, and Brooke's signature inlayed on the twentieth fret. It also includes a signed paper label that is numbered in sequence. Learn More
