Martin has launched the Junior Series, an all-new range of acoustic guitars aimed at the player who might want a compact travel-friendly six-string but might otherwise baulk at the thought of having a smaller scale instrument.
These are definitely not toys. All have a 24.9” scale length. The bodies retain the familiar shape, e.g. the Junior Series D Jr E is recognisably a dreadnought in silhouette, bearing the archetypical Martin guitar profile, but its body is smaller, shrunken, more easily carried around in a the padded gig bag that’s included in the list price.
