With a grand auditorium body for more control and comfort.

Martin is proud to restore the M-38 acoustic guitar back into the stock lineup. Long prized in performing and recording circles, the larger 0000 or grand auditorium shape is combined with the shallower 000 body depth to yield notes that resound and decay quickly with a tonal balance and power that is less prone to stage feedback when miked. Style 38 appointments are ornate yet tasteful.
