Dreadnought Through and Through

The dreadnought shape, with its large size and squared shoulders, has become the ubiquitous acoustic guitar shape copied by manufacturers over and over. Martin's dreadnought guitars resonate with full and rich sound -- it's no wonder this traditional shape remains so immensely popular, and nobody does dreadnought better than Martin.

Solid Spanish Cedar Neck and Richlite Fingerboard

Once you get your hand on the neck of a Martin, you won't want to let go.
