Regarded as the cornerstone of performance, Martin’s highly prized 1937 models set the benchmark for generations of guitars that followed. They remain sought by collectors and coveted by enthusiasts. This is the era where the stars aligned.
The all-new 1937 inspired 28-Style Authentic Collection rewards players with the sonic superiority of Martin’s Authentic Series and the everyday practicality of a workhorse guitar.
