SERIES OVERVIEW
X-Series - Martins breakthrough X series features guitars constructed with a combination of highly compresses wood fibres (High pressure laminate, called HPL) and traditional tonewoods. HPL is extremely durable and workable, and Martin have crafted ways to build traditional Martin shapes with HPL that produce incredibly long lasting and affordable guitars. What’s more is Martin have managed to build them so they possess that famous Martin sound and playability found in their more expensive guitars.
1-Series - The Martin 1 series was a pioneering breakthrough in the crafting of Martin guitars because it was the first to achieve the unique Martin sound, feel and look with tree-saving wood laminates. These instruments represent extraordinary value as well as Martins state-of-the-art acoustic guitar design. All of the 1 series guitars feature a new patented neck-to-body joint for a stress free neck, and let’s not forget Martins famous bridge string ramps to increase strength, tone and intonation.
Standard-Series - Martin launched the highly imitated standard series nearly a century ago and since then have set the standard for all modern acoustic guitars. The standard series started with the dreadnought, a shape that Martin first built in 1916 to provide a fuller, richer guitar sound at a time where there was no amplification. Dreadnoughts provided the perfect accompaniment for singers in larger settings including auditoriums. The standard series are known for resonant warmth of tone with tastefully restrained styling, for the most part Martin is credited with inventing these styles and shapes.
Special Edition Series – From time to time Martin offers special edition models. Many of these have a limited production run, or begin as a limited-production guitar that sells well enough to become regularly produced. Many of these special models are designed with, endorsed by, and named after well-known guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Clarence White, Merle Haggard, Stephen Stills, Paul Simon, Arlo Guthrie and Johnny Cash.
Performing Artist Series – This series is larger than the 000/OM, but smaller than the 0000/M. Martin's new Performing Artist Series features the new Fishman F-1 Aura pickup system, with unobtrusive but powerful on-board controls. Martin has developed a new fast neck shape for the series and a smaller bridge for more top resonance. The pickup system blends the signal from a Martin Gold Plus transducer with one of 9 microphone sound images. Musicians have also praised the anti-feedback filter, with up to 3 notches, and a chromatic tuner.

D28 - The deep bass response of a D–28 was a very unusual feature to musicians used to the clear treble and overall balance of smaller "standard size" instruments. However, when the Dreadnought made its way into the hands of country music performers, it found an appreciative audience – it was just the item for backing up vocals, fiddles, and banjos in lieu of a bass instrument.
