Features:
Martin launched the much imitated Standard Series line nearly a century ago and set the standard for all modern acoustic guitars. The Standard Series started with the Dreadnought, a shape that Martin first built in 1916 to provide a bigger, richer guitar sound at a time when there was no amplification. Dreadnoughts provided the perfect accompaniment for singers in larger settings, including auditoriums. These instruments constitute the historic core of the Martin line and represent the majority of sizes and styles that have evolved during this century. The Standard Series models are known for resonant warmth of tone with tastefully restrained styling. For the most part, Martin is credited with inventing these styles and shapes, and guitar makers in general have adopted Martins size designations. Features for the Standard Series generally include solid wood top, back, and sides, polished gloss finish, and a hand-fit dovetail neck attachment.
