“These are the changes Martin enthusiasts have been asking for”: Martin overhauls its Standard Series for the first time in 7 years in response to player demands

Martin Standard Series.

NAMM 2025: In one of its biggest catalog shake-ups of recent years, Martin has completely overhauled its workhorse Standard Series acoustic guitars for the first time since 2018 with a host of “subtle yet impactful” tweaks.

The brand’s Standard Series is usually seen as the first-port-of-call for entering the Martin catalog, and is widely regarded as the firm’s flagship acoustic collection whose origins can be traced as far back as the 1930s.
