Steel String Guitars

Classic herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony and Sitka spruce in the shape that started it all: the Dreadnought. Paired with our most comfortable neck, vintage appointments, scalloped, forward-shifted bracing, and a lifetime warranty. Powerful bottom end, rich tone, and strums that will fill the room—music history made new. Also available in Sunburst and Ambertone finish.

With a gorgeous glossed spruce top, this solid wood Dreadnought model is a great sounding guitar at an affordable price. This all-new model is set apart from its siblings with a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette and Style 18 purfling on the back. It has an FSC® Certified Richlite® fingerboard and bridge, gloss body, and a hand-rubbed neck finish. Like other Road Series models, it also has Fishman® MX-T electronics with a built-in soundhole tuner that auto mutes the audio output so you can tune up any time without using a pedal.

The Martin D-18 StreetLegend® combines trusted, legendary tone with a lived-in look that tells a story before you even play your first note. Its solid spruce top features visual wear inspired by historic guitars in the Martin Museum, giving your brand-new guitar the soulful look of a well-loved heirloom. This vintage-inspired aesthetic is complemented by solid mahogany back and sides, aged open-gear tuners, and a satin-aged pickguard, creating a guitar that feels like it’s been part of your musical journey for decades, carrying the spirit of the past into today. Trusted for its bold, projective tone, this satin-finished Dreadnought delivers strong bass, bright trebles, and a punchy midrange. With a neck featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, the D-18 StreetLegend® is a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.

Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case. Read more
