The Standard Series: Trusted by Legends & Everyday Players
The Martin Standard Series is the backbone of Martin—a collection of distinguished instruments that helped create the template for the American acoustic flattop guitar. These premium acoustic guitars embody nearly two centuries of craftsmanship and technique: history made from wood and wire. Alongside the artists who played them, they helped establish the sound of country, folk, bluegrass, and rock. Today, their unmistakable tone continues to echo across the American soundscape and in music around the world.

The Standard in Acoustic Guitars Since 1833
Founded by Christian Frederick Martin in 1833, C. F. Martin & Co. has helped shape the sound and design of the modern acoustic guitar for nearly two centuries. That legacy continues today through handcrafted quality, time-tested techniques, and an ongoing commitment to acoustic craftsmanship.
Made by skilled craftspeople in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and Navojoa, Sonora, Mexico, Martin acoustic guitars are built for players at every stage of their journey. From accessible X Series and Little Martin guitars that make trusted Martin tone and playability easier to experience to professional-grade Standard Series instruments and one-of-a-kind Custom Shop builds, the lineup offers something for every kind of player, with a wide range of additional series, body shapes, materials, features, and acoustic voices in between.
Martin’s commitment to quality and tone also extends to acoustic guitar strings and a ukulele tradition that has made it the world’s oldest surviving maker. Drawing on generations of experience as a leading acoustic guitar manufacturer, Martin creates instruments and strings designed to inspire confidence, creativity, and lasting musical expression. From a first guitar to premium acoustic guitars made for the stage, studio, and a lifetime of music, Martin guitars help players find their sound, express their individuality, and unleash the artist within.
