The New Martin Standard Series Acoustic

The 2025 Martin Standard Series has undergone a significant refresh, bringing subtle yet impactful updates to enhance the look, tone, and playability of these iconic guitars. Here are some key highlights:

Key Updates:

Golden Era (GE) Top Bracing: The new Sitka spruce GE top bracing offers a more vintage, breathy tone with enhanced sustain. This bracing pattern is inspired by the ultra-premium Modern Deluxe series acoustics.

GE Modified Low Oval Neck Profile: The neck profile maintains its popular shape but is optimized for vintage appeal with minimal increase in total mass. It features a thinner fingerboard with a gently beveled comfort edge and refined string spacing at the nut.

GE Modern Belly Bridge: The updated bridge features smoother corners for a more comfortable strumming hand.

Bone or Ebony Bridge Pins: Genuine bone or ebony bridge pins replace the budget black plastic alternatives found on older Standard Series acoustics.

Aesthetic Refinements: Additional aesthetic updates include a long diamond neck transition, a nut cut on angle, and a sleeker vintage-style heel.

New Models:

D-17: This model combines vintage-inspired appointments with modern refinements, featuring a satin-finished solid mahogany body for a warm and woody tone.

000-17: Crafted with solid mahogany and refined for unmatched tone and comfort, this model delivers a warm, vintage-inspired vibe.

OM-45: Features solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, a spruce top, and a genuine mahogany neck with a 25.4″ scale length for enhanced clarity and sustain. Pearl inlay, aging toner, and gold open gear tuners add an elegant touch.

Enhanced Playability:

Comfort and Vintage Tones: Players will notice improved comfort and vintage tones, particularly with the GE-inspired bracing and aesthetic refinements.

Sunburst and Ambertone Finishes: Select models now offer sunburst and ambertone finish options.

The 2025 Martin Standard Series continues to deliver the blend of vintage appointments and modern playability enhancements that Martin enthusiasts have been asking for.
