Here is a brand new Martin D-18, lefthanded, of course. We all know the tone. If you're a mahogany aficionado, this is the standard. Martin sez: "Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear. Vintage details include open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments pair with a modern, low profile neck for an old-soul sound.."

Here is a brand new Martin D-28, lefthanded, of course. The quintessential dreadnought. I loved mine until I replaced it with a D-41 Special back in 2008. Martin sez: "The Martin D-28 has been the quintessential workhorse of music legends like Hank Williams, The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, and so many more. It’s no surprise because the D-28 is crafted with East Indian rosewood, which is very resonant and offers deep bass and rich overtones. It is a well-balanced guitar for all playing styles. It also combines vintage appointments like open gear tuners, an aged toner top, antique white accents, and a faux tortoise pickguard with a modern neck profile for a fast, comfortable playing experience."

Here is a new left-handed Martin 000-15M acoustic with Fishman electronics and Martin soft case ... very nice guitar for the money. Mahogany top gives you nice warm tone and the short scale and comfortable neck carve make for easy playing. Also a great gigging guitar if you have a high-end acoustic that you don't want to bring out to the bars or open mics, etc. Martin sez: "As the newest member of the 15 Series, the Martin 000-15E is an acoustic-electric guitar that feels like it’s been a part of your musical journey for decades, right from the first strum. Featuring an exquisite satin-finished body, it delivers more than just looks. Its mahogany top produces a warm, woody tone with a pronounced midrange, complemented by sapele back and sides for some added punch with bright and airy trebles. The 000-15E boasts a comfortable Auditorium body size and scalloped spruce bracing for balanced tone and enhanced projection. Equipped with Martin E1 electronics, it includes a chromatic tuner and volume, tone, and phase controls, making it ready for the stage or studio. With its traditional all-solid wood construction and exceptional tone and playability, the 000-15E will inspire players at any level. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or just starting out, this guitar offers timeless looks and unmatched performance at an accessible price."

Here is a beautiful new left-handed Martin D-28 Modern Deluxe ... Martin took the Standard D-28 and added, among other things, a VTS top, maple binding, Adirondack spruce forward shifted X bracing, gold hardware, dovetail neck joint and protein glue construction, plus a new neck carve and a stylish abalone Martin logo. Wonderful guitar. Martin sez: "The D-28 Modern Deluxe is a new take on Martin Vintage. This guitar is packed with custom features and modern technology that you have to see, feel, and hear for yourself. The vintage appointments include a spruce VINTAGE TONE SYSTEM® (VTS) top, a dovetail neck joint, and natural protein glue construction that give it the rich, fully aged Martin tone that has inspired generations. The look is unlike anything in our production line to date with European flamed maple binding, stylish gold frets, gold open-gear tuners, and a unique 1930s style script logo inlaid in pearl on the headstock. Some ultra-modern features include Liquidmetal® bridge pins with red dots and a composite carbon fiber bridgeplate that boosts volume. And we’ve included a new neck shape that is slightly asymmetrical for maximum hand comfort up and down the fretboard. This guitar is anything but standard." (An amusing aside: A long (long) time ago, a couple of decades before I opened a guitar store, I played my first Martin D-28 at local store. The old, grizzled store owner, said, "Son, anyone who calls himself a guitar player needs to own him a Martin D-28." Then he told me I was a idiot for not learning how to play right handed. So I told him to stuff it and bought mine somewhere else. But I loved my D-28 and would still own it today had I not replaced it with a D-41 Special 17 years ago.) Condition: New; Top: VTS spruce; Back and sides: East Indian rosewood; Neck: Mahogany, vintage deluxe carve; Nut: 1 3/4; Scale: 25.4; Binding: flame maple; Purfling: Herringbone; Rosette: multi stripe; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)

I don't often stock basses, but I do like to have an acoustic bass around. Sounds great plugged in or unplugged. Fishman Matrix VT Enhance NT2 electronics are standard. These are not easily found, especially as a lefty, so grab this one quick. Or don't, as I am enjoying having it here : ) Martin sez: "The Martin BC-16E acoustic-electric bass brings the low-end to the 16 Series. Handcrafted in our Nazareth factory, this full-scale bass boasts a resonant spruce top paired with East Indian rosewood back and sides that offer a well-balanced tone for all playing styles. Its Grand Auditorium body size provides plenty of projection, while a cutaway gives you even more room to thump those high notes with ease. This bass is ready to help you unleash your inner artist, wherever your musical journey takes you." Condition: New; Top:Spruce; Back and sides: East Indian rosewood; Neck: Mahogany; Nut: 1.58; Scale: 34; Binding: Ivoroid; Purfling: Herringbone; Rosette: multi stripe; Orientation: Lefthanded (of course)
