Used And Vintage Acoustic Guitars

We've been a Martin dealer for decades, and have seen a ton of both new and used Martin guitars come through.  One of our favorites is the M-36 - partly for its uniqueness, but also for its amazing tone, playability and vibe.

The Standard Series Reimagined M-36 is a great testament to what Martin is culpable of making these days.  Handbuilt in Nazareth, PA, just as it's been done for nearly 200 years (yes, it's been that long), guitars coming out of the Martin factory represent the best in acoustic guitar production.  This M-36 is no exception.  A three-piece back, bound neck, and body that's wide like a jumbo and thin like a 000, for a sound as distinctive as those who play it. East Indian rosewood (back & sides) and spruce (top) work with scalloped bracing to produce a tone that's big, balanced and ideal for studio recordings. Enclosed gear tuners and a modified low oval neck with narrow taper offer superb playability.  It's extremely resonant, with a full, balanced projection that covers the full tonal spectrum.

We just took this one in, which appears to have been barely played in the last few years since it was originally bought.  The previous owner bought it directly from Martin (he worked at a dealer that has since closed) as a gift for his dad, who is more of an electric player.  Now, realizing it wasn't getting the usage it deserves, he's decided to part with it.  So, if you're in the market for a great deal on an M-36, you've found it!

The guitar is in excellent condition, and has been setup to play perfectly by the techs in our shop.  The original hardshell case is included.  We don't see many (if any) previously owned M-36's coming through here and don't expect this to last long.
