For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world.  Since 1833, the Martin Guitar Company has provided instruments of consistently high caliber to virtually a world–wide market. Among musicians there is a standing joke about being able to communicate in any language as long as you say, "Martin guitar." 

Among the great variety of instruments the Martin Company makes, it’s safe to say that none has enjoyed more popularity than their line of Dreadnoughts or D–size guitars.  Now, as the company approaches the next century, after nearly 70 years of constant production, the Martin Dreadnought guitar is available in the standard production models, in an assortment of vintage inspired recreations, in the newly patented, economically priced "X Series" and "16 Series" models, in the occasional "Limited Edition," or even as a customized "dream guitar."
