Martin’s commitment to their popular Road Series of affordable acoustic-electric guitars for gigging musicians has been renewed, and the entire series has received a refresh much like the Standard Series refresh of a year ago.
And now Martin’s time-honored naming convention of Body Size – Design Style has been extended to the Road Series in the newly-christened Style 10, Style 11, Style 12, and Style 13. And with them come bold new looks, and brand new Fishman® MX-T electronics with a much welcomed on-board tuner!

The Martin CEO-9 has the same 14-fret slope shoulder 00 size and Modified V neck as the very popular CEO-8. But the new one is made from curly mango! Not only that, it is used for the top as well as the back and sides!! It also has a new burst finish unique to this model and other very nice appointments, like Style 30 colored rope top trim matched with the short-pattern snowflake fret markers of a vintage Style 42 instrument.
The Limited Edition Series gets the glorious D-42 Custom with figured East Indian rosewood and a high-grade Carpathian spruce top with forward-shifted scalloped bracing, awesome flamed maple bindings, and stunning high-color abalone inlays.

“Ink meets Wood” in two related dreadnought guitars dedicated to the famed tattoo artist “Sailor Jerry” Collins, while also paying tribute the fine craftsmanship and aesthetic prowess of top-shelf guitar inlay artists. Both guitars feature the construction of the fabled Martin D-28. The D Homeward has koa back and sides and a maritime sailing ship motif, while the D True Love has East Indian rosewood back and sides, and features the hearts and roses of classic tattoos dedicated to True Love both pure and passionate as music made from world-class Martin guitars.
As 2019 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Woodstock Music and Art Fair that gave its name to the era of the same name, Martin offers two exclusive models in commemoration of the spirit of Peace, Love, and Understanding symbolized by the word “Woodstock.”
The D-35 Woodstock 50th Anniversary model has the build of today’s D-35, with the looks of a vintage 1960’s D-35 and beautiful Peace Dove inlay on the headstock and pickguard, along with the official Woodstock 50th Anniversary logo. The much more affordable X Seriesfeatures the DX Woodstock 50th model that is also a lot more colorful, with artwork like the iconic Woodstock poster from 1969.

2019 Junior Series Received a Makeover
Martin’s innovative Dreadnought Junior line has gotten a refreshing new design, including a change to 000 depth sides with softer back edges on every D Jr. model, making it all the more portable as a travel guitar, and more comfortable as a parlor guitar, or as the first “real guitar” for younger, smaller players. Now available with the new Style 10 appointments on the DJR-10 and DJR-10E Acoustic Electric model, each with sapele back and sides and a top of Sitka spruce or solid sapele. And for sunburst lovers, there’s the newly improved DJR-10 Burst and DJR-10E Burst.
