* The new Martin Vintage Tone System (VTS) uses a unique recipe that is based on the historic torrefaction system. The VTS system acts much like a time machine in which Martin can target certain time periods and age the top/braces to that era. This focused method allows Martin’s craftsmen

and women to recreate not only the pleasing visual aesthetics of a vintage guitar, but also reproduce the special tones previously reserved for vintage instruments. Learn more about Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS) at www.martinguitar.com/VTS.

The OM-45 De Luxe Authentic 1930 draws its inspiration and exacting specifications

from the 1930 OM-45 De Luxe recently acquired at the Guernsey’s Instrument Auction

in early April 2014. Only 11 OM-45 De Luxes were made originally, all in 1930, and

the model has become one of the most sought after, rare and valuable vintage Martin

guitars ever created. (Roy Rogers owned and performed with the very first OM-45

De Luxe ever made.) Only 11 guitars (like the original run) are offered in this edition,

each a painstakingly handcrafted replica of the original 1930 model in the Martin

Museum collection. This model boasts Martin’s Vintage Tone System (VTS)* Adirondack

spruce top and braces to replicate the aged appearance and tonality of the 1930s

original, and Brazilian rosewood back and sides.

It is certainly rare that Martin introduces a new body size. Please welcome the

Dreadnought Junior! Fashioned for player comfort, clear powerful tone and easy

action, the Dreadnought Junior is reduced to approximately 15/16” of the full Martin

14-fret Dreadnought dimension (14 ¼” width at the lower bout) with an expressive 24”

scale length. A solid Sitka spruce top features scalloped ¼” high performance

X-bracing with a single asymmetrical tone bar. The back and sides are bookmatched

from sapele, and Richlite, an ebony alternative with similar hardness and appearance,

is chosen for the fingerboard and bridge. The Dreadnought Junior (aka “D Jr”) comes

factory-equipped with Fishman’s Sonitone sound reinforcement system and includes a

USA-made form-fitted nylon gig bag for easy transport. Affordably priced, the

Dreadnought Junior is ideal for smaller players, students, travelers, or anyone who

aspires to the clarity and depth of tone that has defined Martin instruments for more

than 180 years.
