Using premium tonewoods—Sitka Spruce for the top, and East Indian Rosewood on the back and sides—this instrument is built following Prewar Specifications! The bracing under the top is advanced forward to the soundhole one inch. This shifted bracing produces a huge sound; some Martin lovers refer to this as a "cannon"!

Martin HD 35, East Indian Rosewoood, Sitka Spruce
Here is Martin's brilliant addition to an already fabulous Dreadnought guitar line. This model was created in the mid-1960s, when Brazilian Rosewood was becoming scarce and trees were becoming smaller and smaller due to overharvesting in Brazil. But Martin's brilliant luthiers, instead of not using this wonderful tonewood because the trees were producing boards too small for two-piece backs, were able to join three small planed boards together to make a wonderful-sounding back, along with the sides and tops. The idea was popularly accepted, and folks insisted the three--piece back helped make the Martin bass response deeper and richer. There were other opinions, where folks thought that the three-piece backs gave more voice to the treble tones. Today, the HD 35 has evolved into a fine guitar in its own right, having 1/4" bracing, instead of the HD-28 5/16" brace. Many players believe this is an excellent Dreadnought Martin to use for either flatpicking or fingerpicking, because of its balance of tone in both the bass and treble sounds!
Martin D-28 Marquis
We are EXCITED about this booming, big sounding dreadnought, with a 1 3/4" fingerboard! The Adirondack Spruce top produces a powerful, "CANNON-like", bark! Martin chose the Golden Era Style for the forward-shifted scalloped bracing—also made with Solid Adirondack Spruce. Grained Ivoroid body binding, with fine Herringbone top inlay gives this fine guitar a very "vintage" look. On the fingerboard is inlaid the long pattern Golden Era "Diamond and Square" Abalone inlays. Ancient, fossilized Ivory is used to craft the nut and bridge saddle. If you loved the sound of the 1930's, "golden-era" Martins, then hold on to your socks, because this guitar will really "do it" for you!!!

The bracing is glued to the top in Martin's traditional "X" bracing pattern, a Martin original idea! The top trim includes the bold herringbone pattern with grained ivoroid binding, and the fingerboard inlay is the long pattern "Diamonds and Squares". The neck is a very comfortable and trim vintage "V" shape. The nut and saddle are made of bone, naturally! This is our best-selling guitar, here at Wildwood Music!!

Martin 000-28EC
This guitar has been re-created as a model that Martin had not made in nearly half a century!

Special features include the long pattern "Diamonds and Squares" inlay on the fingerboard, and a trim modified "V" neck shape.

Martin D-18 Golden Era, 1934 re-issue
Genuine Honduran Mahogany and rare Adirondack Spruce only begins to define this marvelous guitar! The Golden Era forward-shifted bracing pattern literally forces the sound to "leap out"! The 1 3/4" at-the-nut allows the guitarist plenty of room to move around cleanly on the fingerboard. Fossilized Ivory, for the nut and the saddle, signal superior tone and volume. The very trim modified "V" shape neck makes this fingerboard smooth as silk to get around on. The headstock headplate is covered with solid Brazilian Rosewood, and the pickguard is a Tortoise color, and is beveled and polished. This Martin guitar is a timeless and elegant instrument!!

This Vintage Re-issue instrument is so easy to love!

Martin Custom 00, Birdseye Maple/Engelmann Spruce!
This “little gem” was lovingly crafted with very rare Birdseye Maple on the back and sides. The top is fine Engelmann Alpine Spruce that is sanded to .105 inches, for maximum volume and sonic beauty!! Hand shaved, scalloped bracing—1/4” wide—was chosen for the exquisite top. Madagascar Rosewood binds the top, sides, back, and head plate. This Madagascar also appears in the center of the gorgeous Maple neck, and continues as the back strip against the Birdseye Maple. Fine Herringbone is added to the top inlay around the top, and in the rosette. A low-profile neck, finished with a 1930s heel, signals the excellent playability this Custom model provides. In the headstock, an excellently inlaid and colorful Torch is crowned by high-geared Nickel Waverly tuners with Black Ebony buttons. When we first played this Custom, we were thrilled to find the sound both bold and captivating—unbelievable for the size of this guitar—but not surprising, since the whole instrument is joined by hot hide glue!

We personally selected this set of highly-figured Madagascar, to go with an exquisite Premium Sitka Spruce top—you have rarely seen Sitka with such tight grain patterns and elegant silking! Bracing on this top is hand-scalloped, 5/16" inches wide, in a Golden Era pattern (mid-1930"s), with a 1/4" wide tone bar! The 1 11/16” nut width accompanies a very trim Modified “V” shaped neck! The pickguard on this vibrant Sitka top is made of Delmar, and is polished and beveled. Dramatic is not too powerful a word to use to describe this amazing Custom Martin guitar. Huge, full basses, with round, zesty mid-ranges, and clear, sparkling trebles is the best way to begin to portray how very special we think this guitar is!

We asked for the favorite Delmar Tortoise pickguard, and the old Nazareth, Pennsylvania stamp on the headstock’s back. This Custom version of Martin’s Vintage Re-issue features Adirondack Spruce braces—instead of Sitka Spruce. These braces are hand-formed, and placed in the "forward-shifted" Golden Era style pattern.

But instead of the 1 3/4" measurement at the bone nut, we chose the modified 1 11/16" V neck shape of the HD-28V, with the neck being solid Honduran Mahogany! Back on to the Vintage toner top, we retained the carved Black Ebony Pyramid bridge, with a 16" radius compensated bone drop-in saddle, and the 3-ring Fine Herringbone rosette!

Martin script logo and the Modified Torch Inlay; artfully completing the Vintage look, Gotoh Nickel tuners firmly commit to the fine tuning of the Martin Extended Life strings! The Satin finish on the neck, along with an excellent neck set, signals the fine playability of the guitar; the strings are just close enough to the frets that they do not buzz, even with a heavy pick application.

Martin Custom 000C-41Special, Very Rare Amazon Rosewood/Master Grade Sitka Spruce--SOLD!
How long will it take you to become enthralled and mezmerized by this 000 body size, its short scale, its cutaway? What will happen as you take it into your arms, hold it on your lap, and draw your fingers or pick across its strings? This is another spectacular example from this latest generation of our incomparable Martin artisans, whose forebears have dominated the acoustic marketplace since 1833! We haven't even gotten to the sound characteristics of the very rare and striking Amazon tonewood, on the sides and back of this Custom Shop creation! Our new guitar's Dalbergia Spruceana (Amazon Rosewood) is extremely close in characteristics to the more-famous close relative, Dalbergia Nigra (Brazilian Rosewood); and, though not yet extinct, it is extremely difficult to obtain. The Ultra Premium Sitka top, with hand-shaved, scalloped quarter inch braces, certainly live up to their promise--we were "blown away" by the intense power in tonal sounds that emanate from this magnificent soundbox! In the early 1930’s OM #6A Golden Era Pattern top bracing made former 000 Martins famous! Martin crafters combined that pattern with Martin's 21st Century genius; our Custom 41 Special certainly lives up to that reputation--and then some! We added the venerable OM-45 Style Delmar polished and beveled pick guard, and a Bone nut and saddle. This guitar measures 1 11/16” at the nut; and Martin installed that wonderfully-accurate sound reproducing Fishman Matrix Infinity pickup system. Rounding out this already-collectable and possibly future museum piece is the Abalone Pearl border around the top, the style 45 Abalone pearl Rosette, and the Style 45 Snowflake fingerboard inlay, from very Select Abalone.

Martin Custom OM/000 Cutaway, 40 Series, Madagascar Rosewood/Premium Sitka Spruce, Fishman Ellipse Blend Pickup
This Orchestra Model guitar is a delight when fingerpicked; but you would thoroughly enjoy using a flatpick! The sound is very well-balanced, yet retains the traditional thick and rich Martin voice. We started with a beautiful set of Madagascar Rosewood that we specially selected. We decided to pair this with Premium Sitka Spruce for the top. Golden Era hand-scalloped bracing was chosen. It was combined with a mid 1930’s Custom pattern—crafted especially for this instrument!Notice the “style 45” Rosette, along with the Abalone top border. A polished and beveled pick guard really fits the stunning look of this guitar.With a 1 3/4" at the nut, this neck is a modified low oval shape, and is joined to the body with the traditional dovetail. The old C.F. Martin stamp is on the back of the headstock. The script C.F. Martin logo on the headstock is made with Mother of Pearl. The tuning machines are gold, with ebony knobs. The fingerboard Hexagon Outlines in pearl are especially suited to this elegantly designed Custom guitar. The Hexagon Outline motif is repeated on the bridge wings.

Together with the Martin dovetail join, the neck features the new, slim, "PA" profile, with the addition of the pre-war Martin Diamond Volute! The appointments are all be the same as on the new "Performing Artist -1" Series; but, to bring back a touch of Martin Tradition, we added the old Martin stamp to the back of the headstock.

Martin Custom HD-28V, Madagascar/Adirondack
Since Madagascar is one of the closest living relatives to extinct Brazilian Rosewood, we asked Martin's Custom Shop to build--for you, our most particular customer--this incredible guitar, with a fine Adirondack Spruce top to complement the fabulous Madagascar tone wood on the back and sides. The best way to describe the voice of this instrument is POWERFUL! You can well appreciate the cut-through treble tones when flatpicking, and also be thrilled by the incredible balance of mids and basses when you fingerpick--yes, this wonderful dreadnought fingerpicks with finesse and grace! But the best thing about this Madagascar/Adirondack Vintage Reissue HD28V is that the bass is just "bigger," the mids are more "wholesome," and the trebles are "purer!" Those who love the Martin Tradition will particularly appreciate the old “Martin” stamp on the back of the headstock. Finally, this guitar is made with the 1 11/16" nut width, which is so comfortable and desirable to many Martin players.

Martin CS 21 11 Custom, Madagascar Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
Handmade from top to bottom, the CS 21 11 is a particularly fine example of what exceptional expertise in guitar-making Martin’s finest builders have achieved! The neck on this very fine instrument was personally carved to an incredibly comfortable profile by master luthier Aaron VanWhy! Highly-flamed Koa was chosen for the top and back bindings, endpiece, and heelcap. The fingerboard and bridge are made from rare Madagascar. The finest tuning machines made by Waverly were selected, with the addition of beautiful Snakewood buttons!
The Adirondack Spruce top on this special Custom model was taken down to a thickness of .105”, and each Adi brace was delicately hand-scalloped and placed in Martin’s powerful “Golden Era” pattern. Hot hide glue was meticulously applied to join the braces to the top, and bring back, sides, and top together! The Madagascar wood used for the back and sides of this guitar was carefully hand-sanded, to achieve a perfect balance between maintaining the integrity of the wood and the ideal weight of the instrument—the goal being to produce maximum volume. Goal achieved—big time!!

Martin Custom Dreadnought, 12-fret, Carpathian Spruce/East Indian Rosewood--SOLD!
This very unique guitar is One of Three made by Martin's Custom Shop luthiers, and it certainly is a winner! When we played this guitar, we were overwhelmed by its tremendous sound! And no wonder, since this was made with that time-honored Hide Glue; this was used to secure the bridge, the neck, the braces, and the top/back/sides! The slotted headstock, according to Dick Boak at Martin, increases string tension; this helps the sound a little more than the usual headstock would. And Carpathian Spruce, the top tonewood, also highly sought-after by mandolin makers, surely adds to the large volume of sound. Although the 'S' body accounts for some of the increase in sound over a 14-fret model, this Custom D is surprisingly very clear in its mids and trebles--even more than the HD28V! The neck is Martin's 'Low Profile shape, and is so very comfortable to play with the 1 3/4" nut. The shaded top is the "Ditson" stain. We Love the highly-figured Mahogany neck, and enjoy the classic Martin stamp on the back of the headstock! Hopefully you will be able to come and experience this very special Custom Shop Martin, soon! (For more info, read the spec sheet: Spec Sheet--Custom D21 Special, 12-fret joined)

Martin Custom D41 Special, Amazon Rosewood/Premium Sitka Spruce
Have you experienced the joy of playing a guitar made with rare Amazon Rosewood? This Rosewood, which is a very close cousin to the now-extinct Brazilian Rosewood, is so near a sonic match to Dalbergia Nigra, that you may well "fall off your chair" when the power surge of sound surrounds you! We personally selected this set of highly-figured Amazon, to go with an exquisite Sitka Spruce top—you have rarely seen Sitka with such tight grain patterns and elegant silking! The 1 11/16” nut width accompanies a very trim Modified “V” shaped neck! As an added treat, we chose to have Martin install one of the last two sets of Gold Schaller tuners—made in Germany—with the engraved “M” on each button! Dramatic is not too powerful a word to use to describe this amazing Custom Martin guitar. Huge, full basses, with round, zesty mid-ranges, and clear, sparkling trebles is the best way to begin to portray how very special we think this guitar responds! Marty was overwhelmed when she fingerpicked this Dreadnought, especially since she was not using her regular picks! The rest of us played with flatpicks, and it was a full-on cannon!
Retail Price: $6445.95 — Wildwood's Price: $3868!
Martin O-28VS
Martin has re-issued another time-tested masterpiece. We were so happy when Martin decided to build these 12-fret-joined, 24.9" scale small beauties, but we were not sure about the Modified V neck with 1 7/8"at the nut. Since all of these necks are hand-shaped, we personally selected this guitar which definitely had the most comfortable, and the most trim-feeling neck of all the ones we played!!! On this guitar, it is VERY comfortable to move up and down the fretboard!! The short-pattern diamond and square inlays are quite helpful in quickly identifying fretboard positions! You will be amazed at the volume coming from this small-bodied guitar! Taken altogether with the hand-carved slotted headstock, the beautiful nickel Waverly tuning machines, and the artfully-carved pyramid bridge, and herringbone trim, this rediscovered Martin may well increase your lust for playing more fingerstyle guitar!

Martin D-28E
Fishman's new Ellipse Aura system gives this Martin classic a proper power boost!! The really great thing about this great Fishman pickup is that it has such a small "footprint" in the D28--until you need to plug in, and THEN you really notice it! Of course, because this is a Martin, you mostly don't even NEED to plug in! Ha Ha!

Martin OMC Fingerstyle 1
This amazing guitar has a unique configuration of woods, with very-responsive Cedar on the back and sides, and Adirondack Spruce on the top!

Gotoh Gold tuning machines, with L5 buttons keep this treasure in perfect tune. The 1 3/4" at-the-nut neck is an oh-so-comfortable Modified Low Oval shape.

Retail Price: $3899 — Wildwood's Price: $2339!
Martin OO-18V!!!
Small body, with a surprisingly-big sound! We believe it is the Martin Magic, while some folks credit the 24.9" short scale length. Other Wildwood customers suggest that the lighter, 1/4" scalloped bracing does the deed! Whatever your reasons, you will appreciate Martin's choice of premium quality, genuine Central American Mahogany, and Sitka Spruce woods—all skillfully crafted by Martin Guitar Company's gifted luthiers!!!

But then, add in Fishman's revolutionary OnBoard Aura pickup, with digitally-imaged high-power microphones, and you have unmatched onstage versatility! The sparkling Abalone pearl trims the top of the guitar, and it possesses a "Style 45" rosette around the soundhole. In the headstock the C. F. Martin script logo is inlaid in Pearl.

Martin HJ-38
Here is a very special Jumbo, the Stefan Grossman Custom Edition. The beautiful Madagascar Rosewood back and sides has a powerful voice, full of complexity. Fine Sitka Spruce was chosen for the top, with forward-shifted, hand-scalloped, 1/4" wide bracing! This guitar is really a Jumbo-Auditorium size, and this makes it quite comfortable to play. Gold Waverly tuning machines is but one of many lovely upgrades on this guitar. We loved the assertive response of this Martin the first time we played it, and our admiration for this instrument continues to grow!

Martin D-41, Custom
This proud beauty, with the 1935 Sunburst, is a fabulous powerhouse guitar! It possesses the hand-scalloped bracing that all D41 Martins receive, plus "forward-shifting" an inch to the soundhole! That's right! THIS D41 has forward-shifted bracing, which gives even more clarity to mids and trebles! With higher-quality tonewoods (Rosewood and Sitka Spruce) than the HD-28 Vintage model, the D41 features the very comfortable and very fast "Low Profile" neck. Combined with the Bone nut and saddle, this guitar fairly "explodes" with wonderful sound!!
