Martin Guitars
The company C.F. Martin & Co., or Martin Guitars for short, can look back on a long company tradition and a number of innovative inventions. These include first and foremost the development of the dreadnought shape and thus the acoustic guitar as we know it today. The family business, with a history stretching back over 175 years, has thus shaped the music world to this day. The innovations that became standard in guitar making thanks to Martin also include guitars with 14 frets outside the body and X-bracing. This enables greater stability and resilience of the top thanks to glued-on strips on the inside of the body top. To this day, Martin guitars are famous for their high quality and, of course, their sound and are very popular among guitarists.

Martin Guitars – Made to Play!
There are many guitar brands. Different shapes, colors, materials and, of course, different sounds. But above all, there is one thing: different stories. Each brand has its history, its origins, its artists, its songs. And while today's social media world is full of young, up-and-coming musicians who play licks, chords or entire songs using the latest technology and show them to the world, new, innovative brands are increasingly stepping into the limelight.
But at some point, every guitarist reaches the same point: the moment when they pick up an acoustic guitar that not only immediately presents its character, but also seems to recall the entire history of music. The moment that guitarists never forget: The moment when you play a Martin acoustic guitar for the first time.
It's more than just an instrument. The first test chords that immediately bring masterpieces like Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind" or Tracy Chapman's "Talkin' 'bout a Revolution" to mind and feel like coming home. The broad sound spectrum, the clear treble and the powerful, warm bass reverberate through the room in a familiar way.
A little excursion into single line licks and suddenly you can hear Clapton shouting to the audience: "See if you can spot this one", before he dives into the iconic "Layla Unplugged", played, of course, on a Martin.
Craftsmanship meets music history!
Martin guitars have shaped music history like no other brand, and this has not changed to this day. In the entrance hall of the Martin factory in Nazareth, USA, where most Martin instruments are still handcrafted to this day, thousands of CDs hang on the walls: Records on which Martin guitars were played. They can all be found there: Eric Clapton, the Beatles, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Jimmy Page, Kurt Cobain, but also modern artists such as John Mayer, Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes have recorded their most famous records with Martin guitars. Some of them have even received slightly modified models as signature instruments and play them proudly on stages around the world.
We at session also love the sound of a D-X1, D-18, 000-EC, OMJM and of course the finest D-45 and Custom Shop models. That's why we have one of the largest Martin ranges in our webshop at session.de and in our stores in Walldorf and Frankfurt. But be careful: you won't find another guitar here. You'll find your dream instrument here.
And now the author of this text must unfortunately come to an end: his Martin OM-28 is waiting.
