The new Performing Artist line from Martin Guitars has made a real splash into their already comprehensive line up of guitars. These instruments feature all the quality and good looks  you come to expect from Martin with a few new twists aimed at the gigging musician. The Performing Artist neck profile has a little less mass and a flatter shape  than Martins standard low profile neck. This  super smooth feel will appeal to fans of smaller neck profiles and help ease hand fatigue for those long sets. The neck joins the body at the 14th fret and the venetian style cutaway provides excellent access to the upper frets. The on board Fishman F1 Aura pickup system has everything a performer could want including a built in tuner all in a two button and small screen package which helps retain the sleek aesthetic appeal of these guitars. This example is in excellent shape and comes with the original hardshell case.

This mid 70’s Martin 12 string has a lovely chime and full lush sound. It is in great overall shape and plays great due to its neck reset! Comes with the original Martin molded hardshell case.

One of the last Brazilian rosewood D-28 models this guitar has seen some action and wow does it sound great! With a deep and full bass response that you can feel going through the guitar and into your chest and a deliciously rich set of overtones this is the sound that made the D-28 a classic. The trebles are there as well and become more present as you dig in. This guitar shines when played loud and aggressive but still responds well when picked with a  lighter touch. What a great example of why so many guitars over the years have copied this classic design! Comes with non original Martin hardshell case.

This super clean left handed custom shop guitar from Martin has a very well balanced tone and great playability. Comes with original hardshell case.

A very clean custom shop instrument! Plays well and sounds great. The M body is much more tonally balanced – and physically smaller – than a dreadnought.
