And a few exotic oddities that most of us don't even know how to tune, much less play.

Instead, you get only the very best part: the sound. 12 PARLOR based on 1941 Martin® 5-17 Introduced 1898 All mahogany body, rosewood fingerboard 21 3/8" scale Before the days of audio recording, radio, or internet file sharing, the only way to hear music was for someone to play it. Parlor instruments were designed to be kept in homes for the musical amusements of residents and guests. A wide variety of parlor guitars were available from a number of manufacturers, but they are all distinguished by their small size and even, balanced tone. The 5 was one of the smallest, and was often used tuned a major third over standard tuning. Marty Robbins was a prominent user of the size 5 in the early 1960's.

TRIPLE O based on 1946 Martin® 000-28 Introduced 1902 Brazilian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard 24. 9" scale The evolution of musical styles in the early 20th century was mirrored by the evolution of American guitar design. By combining larger bodies and steel strings with its innovative X bracing, Martin® created the modern flat-top acoustic. The unique tonal properties of the 000 make it ideal for music in which the guitar is the dominant instrument. In recent years, electric rock artists like Eric Clapton have chosen the 000-28 for unplugged performances. Martin is a registered trademark of C.
