The company CF Martin & Co., or Martin Guitars for short, can look back on a long company tradition and some innovative inventions. This primarily includes the development of the dreadnought form and thus the western guitar as we know it today. The family business, with its history spanning over 175 years, has shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that Martin made standard in guitar construction include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This allows the top to be more stable and max. weight capacity thanks to glued strips on the inside of the carcass ceiling. To this day , Martin guitars are famous for their high quality and of course their sound and are very popular among guitarists. You can find a large selection ready to play in our shop or in our branches. In our Martin premium western guitar section you will also find a selection of the highest quality western guitar models from all Martin series.
The name of the US company Martin Guitars, actually CF Martin & Co., Inc., has stood for the highest quality and innovations in the construction of stringed instruments since 1833. When everyone thinks of Martin , everyone immediately thinks of the western guitar, as the company founder and German emigrant Christian Friedrich Martin helped the instruments take on the form that we still know and appreciate today. The company's inventions include special bracing (X-bracing), the neck transition at the 14th fret and popular body shapes such as the dreadnought guitar.
In addition to the classics such as the D, OM, J, 000 models, our range also includes custom shop models - as well as signature models from renowned artists such as Ed Sheeran, Eric Clapton or John Mayer. We also have the popular Martin Backpacker Steel and the Little Martin in our range.
