C.F. Martin: Martin is the company most responsible for the acoustic guitar of today. A huge range of models, from student step up models to industry standards like the HD28 to handcrafted custom models, ensure Martin's status as king of guitar makers. They invented many of the features that are standard among manufacturers today, including X-bracing and the "dreadnaught" model. Martin does not rest on its laurels, however. They are constantly pushing the envelope in product development, and the instruments they send us are consistently the best we get. We carry more Martins in stock than any other brand, so ask us about them!; Visit the good folks at C. F. Martin & Co. online.
