~Guitar pictured is the actual guitar that you will receive~

We are excited to offer the just released 2025 Martin 28 Series. These models harken back to the classic models of the 30s and 40s, providing some of the most sought after and most recorded tones in history.

As part of the newly refreshed Standard series, the 40 series models include Golden Era Top Braces, the Authentic Fingerboard Thickness (thinner) with gently beveled comfort edge, sleeker vintage-style heel, Golden Era Modern Belly Bridge with Bone Bridge Pins, Long Diamond Neck Transition and the Nut is placed on the angle of the headstock.

The new for 2025 J-40 delivers Martin’s iconic Rosewood tone with the incredibly high-quality design of the Standard Series.  The all-solid design offers the tones of one of the most recorded guitars in history.  

Designed with some of the most beautiful inlay work in the guitar-world, the J-40 is a sophisticated guitar both visually and sonically.

The Jumbo body shape is slightly wider at the upper and lower bout (when compared to a Dreadnought) and is the same depth as a dreadnought.  Players will realize the expanded sonic pallet and extra power of the Jumbo design.

The Solid Spruce Top delivers a wide dynamic range that players of all styles will appreciate. The Rosewood Back and Sides provide the heralded Martin bottom-end with the sparkling highs that we have all come to love.

The J-40 provides an incredible combination of classic tone and feel with Martin’s incredible modern consistency.  It’s truly the best of both eras!

Players will immediately notice the booming bottom-end that is powerful yet defined.  A lush mids section is followed up by the most beautiful sparkling highs that offer the ability to cut through a mix while still offering plenty of character.  

Guitarists looking for the fullest tones that can fill any space will relish the incredible tone of the J-40!

We are proud to include a full professional setup to factory spec before delivering your new Martin Guitar.  Our world-class techs will dial in your guitar to make sure the playability is maximized on your new Martin!
