C.F. Martin & Co. M-38 (1995) – Premium Rosewood Jumbo Auditorium – Good Condition
This Martin M-38 1995 — also searched as M38 1995, Martin M 38, or Martin 0000-38 acoustic — is a highly regarded large-body acoustic that combines the projection of a dreadnought with the balance and comfort of an orchestra-style guitar.
Built with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides featuring Martin’s distinctive 3-piece back, this 1995 M-38 delivers a rich, expansive voice with strong bass response, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. The large M (0000) body offers exceptional balance and note separation, making it equally suited for fingerstyle, flatpicking, strumming, and recording.
The M-38 is known for its elegant Style 38 appointments, including herringbone top trim, bound ebony fingerboard, and premium craftsmanship throughout. Its combination of power and clarity has made it a favorite among players seeking a more balanced alternative to a traditional dreadnought.
This Martin M-38 (1995) is in good condition, showing some small dents from normal use while remaining structurally sound and highly playable.
Includes original Martin hardshell case.
