The reimagined Martin M-36 was one of the most exciting additions to the 2018 Martin lineup. Until then, the M-36 had remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in the mid 1970s.
What sets the M-36 apart from other Martin models is its OM-depth 0000-size body. That's right, four 0. This shape was originally built for the F series archtops in the later 1930s and early 40s, and is similarly shaped to an OM/000, but about an inch wider. Martin uses this shape for their Jumbo models as well, but those feature Dreadnought-depth sides. The M-36's combination of shallower OM sides and a wider body make for a more powerful and louder guitar, relative to an OM; but with a less boomy and more balanced tone than a Dreadnought.
The M-36 features forward shifted scalloped braces, vintage-style appointments, and classic M-36 design features, such as a 3-piece back, voluteless headstock, and rosewood bridge. The 2018 version of the guitar is built much more lightly than its predecessor and sounds it. A lively, responsive, warm and focused guitar, the M-36 is possibly Martin's most versatile instrument.
Indian rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck with bound ebony fingerboard, 25.4” scale, 1-3/4” nut, and modified low oval carve. Antique white bindings with multi-stripe purflings and rosette, bevelled tortoise-celluloid pickguard, vintage toned high gloss lacquer finish. Old style CF Martin headstock logo, Grover tuners, bone nut and saddle.
With Martin moulded hardshell case
Individual instruments may vary in appearance.
