Maury's Blog

Martin has fallen behind in production &  many of our new orders are into late-2023. If you've found a Martin Guitar on our website and are ready to purchase - don't delay... contact us today.

Happy New Year, from Maury's Music! We hope 2022 brings you twelve months of happiness and healthiness. We also wish for you very happy and healthy guitars, which look and sound their best. A great place to start achieving that goal is with a new set of guitar strings that are clean and fresh!

Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Music Making!! In this blog post, we shall look at two of most successful rosewood Dreadnoughts on the market today, the Blueridge BR-160 and the Martin HD-28. Santa Claus received many requests for both from good boys and girls, for very good reasons.

The Martin Museum has been recently renovated. If you have the chance to see this in-person, you truly owe it to yourself to make the trip.

Martins made with a mahogany back and sides are prized for the purity of their uncomplicated tone and their classic, understated good looks. But the mahogany mystique is most unique in the guitars from Martin’s 15 Series, as they are constructed with the addition of a mahogany top that produces a special kind of tone.

Pinning Down the Right Pins
In our last blog post we discussed the differences between the end pin and strap button on an acoustic guitar, and how some players can get them confused. Today we are moving on to other pins in our ongoing series of blog posts about acoustic guitar hardware found on Martin and Blueridge instruments.

Blueridge BR-180 vs. Martin D-45
The Blueridge BR-180 is one handsome acoustic guitar with a powerful voice. The gorgeous tonewoods are inlayed with high-color abalone pearl, making this stunning stallion stand out from the herd, as the top-of-the-line dreadnought in the Historic Series. The Martin D-45 is the flagship of C. F. Martin’s Standard Series, setting the standard for professional-level acoustic guitars. In this blog post we will compare and contrast these two exceptional examples of modern luthiery.
