Martin Left-Handed Acoustic Guitars

Left-handed guitar players often have fewer options available to them when it comes time to purchase a new instrument. Fortunately, Martin makes left-handed versions of many of their guitar models, including the Martin Dreadnought guitar.

What size guitars does Martin make?

Martin acoustic guitars come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They have sizes and body shapes that should accommodate left-handed players. The sizes aren't just about player comfort, though. The size and body shapes affect the tone of a guitar. Most Martins have a scale length of 25.4 inches, with the exception of some of their travel-size left-handed models. Here is a list of some of their available sizes from small to large:

  • Single O or parlor sized
  • OO or grand concert sized
  • OOO or auditorium sized
  • Dreadnought
  • Jumbo
Where are Martin guitars made?

The Martin company was first established in 1833. They are one of the first guitar manufacturers in American history with its first company headquarters in New York. It is now located in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Most of their instruments are crafted in the U.S. at the Nazareth factory. Their materials such as wood, metals, plastics, and bone are often sourced from all over the world. Some of their acoustic guitars are manufactured in Navojoa, Mexico at a second facility.

What types of wood does Martin use for their guitars?

Some of the body and neck woods include, but are not limited to, Mahogany, Cherry, Walnut, Sycamore, Siris, Koa, and Cocobola. They also use a variety of Rosewood types such as East Indian, Brazilian, Guatamalan, and Honduras. Their fretboards are generally made of a Rosewood or Ebony.

How do you properly store a Martin acoustic guitar?

You should never leave your left-handed acoustic in extreme temperatures. Wood can be easily affected by cold, heat, and moisture in the air. Direct sunlight might cause fading of the finish as well. The manufacturer recommends a humidity level of 45-55% and a temperature between 72-77 degrees Fahrenheit. It's also recommended to store your left-handed guitar within its hard-shell case. This can help to provide a level of protection from dust, accidental damage, and sudden changes in temperature or humidity.

Do these guitar necks have a truss rod?

Every model made by this company has a truss rod in the neck to provide stability. The truss rod can be turned to straighten a neck or to add more relief, or bow to the neck. Many models have a dual truss-rod system that can add tension either way for fine-tuning the neck relief. The truss rod can generally be accessed behind a cover on the headstock or within the soundhole at the base of the neck. The manufacturer recommends taking your left-handed guitar to an authorized technician for neck adjustments. Over-turning a truss rod can cause warping and damage a neck if done improperly.
