The Martin Guitar company has been around since 1833 and has constantly produced custom acoustic guitars for many popular guitar players from George Jones to Jimmy Buffett. You can even buy a signature series of some of your favorite artists.
The top of an acoustic guitar produces the sound and Martin has several types of bracing patterns to support the top and keep it stable while playing. Depending on the type of neck joint and bridge being used is what decides the bracing. Martin is one of the best in choosing what bracing goes in certain models to produce the right sound and tone coming from the top.
The Martin name speaks of quality. They use the finest materials available to produce the sound and tone. Rosewood, mahogany, spruce, cherry, maple, and even walnut just to name a few.
The Martin name is so highly regarded that the value of these guitars tend to increase the older they get. They are not only great to play but also a great investment. If you take care of them you will always have the value in them. They are built to last many years and the Martin support staff is one of the best if you ever have a problem. Most of the production of these Martin acoustic guitars still is being hand crafted and fitted to perfection by highly skilled craftsman in the guitar field. Each step is tested to make sure it is perfect before proceeding in production.
When buying a guitar, always play it first. Each guitar is different and made of different materials. Two of the same guitars will likely sound a little different.
