Experience the rebirth of a classic. The Martin M-36 Re-Imagined brings the iconic 1978 model back with enhanced craftsmanship, modern playability, and a tone that only gets better with age. Designed to inspire, this premium acoustic guitar combines world-renowned Martin quality, solid tonewoods, and a versatile, rich sound that suits almost any playing style. With its vintage-inspired aesthetics and modern updates, the M-36 Re-Imagined is a timeless masterpiece ready for today’s musicians.
Classic Meets Modern
The M-36 Re-Imagined embraces its vintage roots while incorporating subtle refinements to meet the needs of modern players. Its solid Sitka spruce top and three-piece East Indian rosewood back and sides not only deliver superior tonal depth and warmth but also evolve with time, rewarding you with an even richer, more resonant sound as you play. The aging toner finish, faux tortoise pickguard, and antique white binding give it an elegant, old-school vibe.
Powerful, Versatile Sound
This guitar isn’t just about aesthetics—its sound is equally impressive. The pairing of Sitka spruce and East Indian rosewood creates a dynamic tonal palette with deep, resonant lows, warm mids, and clear, sparkling highs. Whether you're strumming chords, fingerpicking melodies, or exploring complex techniques, the M-36 delivers a rich, balanced tone with exceptional projection. The forward-shifted X-bracing enhances resonance, ensuring every note is full-bodied and expressive.
Compact Body, Big Voice
Looking for a guitar that combines the power of a jumbo with the comfort of a smaller body? The M-36's unique M-14 (0000) body shape does just that. Its wider top profile offers impressive tonal power and volume, while the slimmer waist and overall design ensure effortless playability. From studio sessions to live performances, the M-36 excels across genres like folk, blues, pop, and soft rock.
Effortless Playability
Martin's commitment to playability shines in the M-36 Re-Imagined. The modified low-oval neck profile and high-performance taper make it easy to glide up and down the fretboard, whether you’re crafting intricate solos or playing fast-paced rhythms. Designed for comfort, the neck feels slick and responsive, offering the smooth playability of an electric guitar with the rich, dynamic voice of an acoustic.
Heart of the Sound
At the core of the M-36’s sound is its forward-shifted scalloped X-bracing, which provides outstanding tonal support and adds a distinctive character to its voice. The scalloped bracing enhances bass response, giving you a bold, boomy low end while maintaining clarity across the frequency spectrum. Whether on stage or in a quiet practice session, the M-36 ensures you’re always heard.
