Martin M-36 - Spruce & Indian Rosewood

The Martin M-36 is a refined blend of vintage elegance and modern playability, crafted for players who seek a distinctive voice and exquisite craftsmanship. Its unique M-14 Fret body size, also known as a 0000, provides a balanced tonal response with the projection of a dreadnought and the clarity of a smaller-bodied guitar. The solid spruce top, finished in a lustrous gloss and tinted with an Aging Toner, pairs beautifully with the East Indian Rosewood back and sides, delivering a rich, full-bodied tone with sparkling highs, warm mids, and resonant lows.

Built with a dovetail neck joint and forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing, this guitar maximizes resonance and sustain, allowing every note to sing with clarity and depth. The 25.4" scale length, coupled with a Modified Low Oval neck shape and a High-Performance Taper, offers a comfortable playing experience for intricate fingerstyle arrangements and robust strumming alike. The satin-finished Select Hardwood neck and ebony fingerboard, adorned with Style 38 Mother-of-Pearl inlays, ensure both playability and sophistication.

Attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the M-36. Antique white binding and multi-stripe purfling frame the body and heelcap with a touch of understated elegance, while the tortoise-pattern pickguard and faux tortoise bridge pin dots add classic charm. The Modern Belly bridge, carved from East Indian Rosewood and featuring a compensated bone saddle, provides optimal string spacing and intonation for expressive playing. Chrome enclosed gear tuners ensure reliable tuning stability and effortless adjustments.

From its multi-stripe rosette to the script Old Style overlay logo on the headstock, the Martin M-36 exudes timeless appeal. Its versatile tone and impeccable craftsmanship make it a perfect choice for players who demand excellence in both sound and design. Whether in the studio or on stage, the M-36 delivers a musical experience that is as inspiring as it is unforgettable.
