Welcome to the today's episode of the Martins & More Podcast with Spoon Phillips! We will be discussing the 10 best-selling Martin guitars at Maury’s Music. Martin guitars have been around since 1833 and have a reputation for producing some of the finest acoustic guitars in the world. These guitars have been used by many famous musicians, including Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, and John Mayer, to name a few. In this podcast, we will be discussing 10 of our best-selling Martin guitars.
 This list outlined below, is NOT in any particular order. You'll need to listen to the show to find out which model was #1.

1. HD-35. The HD-35 is one of Martin's most popular guitars. It features a three-piece back made from Indian rosewood and has a Sitka spruce top. The guitar produces a warm, balanced tone and is suitable for a wide range of playing styles. It's a great guitar for both strumming and fingerpicking, and it's no surprise that it's a best-seller.
 2. D-28. The D-28 is an iconic guitar that has been around since 1931. It features a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The D-28 has a deep, resonant tone that's perfect for bluegrass, folk, and country music. It's been used by countless famous musicians, including Hank Williams, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell. 3. D-18. The D-18 is another classic Martin guitar that has been around for over 80 years. It has a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top and produces a warm, mellow tone that's ideal for blues and folk music. The D-18 has been used by many famous musicians, including Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, and Elvis Presley.
 4. OM-28. The OM-28 is a smaller-bodied guitar that's perfect for fingerpicking. It has a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides. The OM-28 produces a bright, clear tone that's ideal for intricate fingerstyle playing. It's a versatile guitar that's suitable for a wide range of musical genres.
 5. 000-18. The 000-18 is a smaller-bodied guitar that's perfect for fingerpicking and light strumming. It has a mahogany body with a Sitka spruce top and produces a warm, mellow tone that's ideal for folk and blues music. The 000-18 has been used by many famous musicians, and records very well! 6. HD-28. The HD-28 is a slightly modified version of the D-28. It has a Sitka spruce top and East Indian rosewood back and sides, but it also has herringbone trim and scalloped bracing, which gives it a slightly different tone. The HD-28 produces a warm, balanced tone that's perfect for a wide range of musical styles.
 7. 000-15M. The 000-15M is a smaller-bodied guitar that has a mahogany body and top. It produces a warm, mellow tone that's perfect for fingerpicking and light strumming. The 000-15M has a simple, understated design that's perfect for musicians who prefer a more minimalist look.
 8. 00-15M. The 00-15M is another smaller-bodied guitar that has a mahogany body and top. It produces a warm, mellow tone that's ideal for fingerpicking and light strumming. The 00-15M is a great guitar for musicians who prefer a smaller, more comfortable instrument.
 9. 000-28. The Martin 000-28 is an acoustic guitar known for its exceptional tone and craftsmanship. It features a solid Sitka spruce top, solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, and a mahogany neck with a ebony fingerboard. The body is smaller than Martin's dreadnought models, making it comfortable to play for extended periods of time. The 000-28 produces a warm, balanced sound with clear articulation, making it suitable for a wide range of playing styles and genres. It is a popular choice among folk, country, and blues musicians.

10. 000-15SM. The Martin 000-15SM is a smaller bodied acoustic guitar with a mahogany top, back, and sides, and a satin finish. It features a 12-fret mahogany neck with a slotted headstock and an ebony fingerboard. The 000-15SM produces a warm, mellow sound with a strong midrange, making it well-suited for fingerpicking and blues playing. The use of all-mahogany construction gives the guitar a distinct look and tonal character, and its smaller size makes it comfortable to play for extended periods of time. It is a popular choice among players who value simplicity and a vintage aesthetic.

Remembering David Lindley. Welcome to the Martins & More Podcast with Spoon Phillips. On today's episode, we pay homage to one of our biggest musical influences - David Lindley. Mr Dave, as he was sometimes called, was one of the most unique musicians. He may be most famous for his work with Jackson Browne - but he appeared on over 350 albums, including some of his own - with El Rayo-X, Wally Ingram, Henry Kaiser & SO many more. Over the years, both Maury & Spoon were lucky enough to meet David on a few occasions - and David's is one of 4 autographs inside Maury's 1998 Martin OM-28V. Rest in peace, David - and thank you for all the music.

Rosewood or Mahogany for strumming? In today's episode we're discussing a topic that's been both debated - and recycled, in the last few weeks.

Shortly after that live stream ended, he posed the same question on the Acoustic Guitar Forum. That thread quickly filled up with thoughtful replies & opinions - and that's what we'll be chatting about today. Sit back & relax as Maury & Spoon get their mahogany vs rosewood chat on.

Dick Boak reached legendary status at Martin Guitar long before Maury & Spoon met him at the very first Unofficial Martin Guitar Forum "Nazfest" back in 2002 - but his legend only grew from there. He retired from Martin in 2017 after a long, storied career including artist relations, marketing, drafting, archiving & more. These days he's building his own amazing instruments & if they're good enough for Steve Miller & John Mayer, they're worth talking about on our little show!

Changes in Production Methods - Martins & More with Spoon Phillips S5 E1. We're back with a new season & some great topics: many of which were suggested by YOU! Today's topic: Changes in Martin production methods over the years - suggested by our pal Marshall Fleisher (of Martin VS Martin fame). 🙂

We're mostly speaking of the D-28 as an example, and we'll stroll through the years to learn how the D-28 changed from 1931 to 1934, into the 50's & 60's, and eventually all the way up to present day. Is the 2024 D-28 anything like the 1950's version? Did D-28s always have a sitka spruce top? Was the nut width always 1 3/4"? Those answers and so many more - on this maiden voyage episode of Martins & More: Season 5.

Is Martin Dyeing Ebony again? Mike Dickinson of Martin Guitar returns for his 2nd appearance on Martins & More, and we sure had some fun. In this episode you'll learn about the current state of ebony fretboards, Lutz spruce tops & the some serious FSC certification bragging rights. We even talked Mike into playing 20 questions!

A few episodes ago, we critiqued Rolling Stone's 250 greatest guitarists list. Upon hearing that show, our friend John asked us to "do the top female guitarists next... and include Marshall from Martin VS Martin". This episode is exactly that. The greatest female guitarists (according to Maury, Spoon and Marshall).

Our live setups! Over at Onemanz.com, Spoon received an interesting email a few weeks ago... "What's your live setup?" a loyal reader asked. Spoon answered him directly (of course) but thought this might make for an interesting podcast episode. What gear do Maury & Spoon use in their live shows? In today's episode, we'll find out - what's Maury's pickup of choice? Does Spoon always use a mic to amplify his guitars? Acoustic amp or direct to the PA? These answers and more - coming right up.

In today's episode we're discussing the NEW Martin Guitar John Mayer 20th Anniversary Models: The OM-45 John Mayer Anniversary and the OMJM John Mayer 20th Anniversary. How does the new OMJM 20th compare to the original? What can we expect Engelmann & Guatemalan to sound like on the OM-45 Mayer? Why were these guitars delayed at the 11th hour?

Why would a guitar shop still be closed to the public in 2023? In today's episode we're discussing a topic that Maury found while watching Casino Guitars on YouTube. During the pandemic, guitar shops were forced to close their doors. Many learned to leverage their internet presence to make up for the lost foot traffic. Here at Maury's Music, we were already focusing almost all of our efforts online anyway. Now it's safe to allow customers to visit again, but some stores never pivoted away from the online-only model. We hope to begin scheduling appointments again sometime soon & the timing of the Casino Guitars video fits perfectly into our most recent episode. Why are some guitar shops still online only?  Or by appointment?  Sit back & relax as Maury & Spoon get their guitar shop chat on.

Those answers and so many more - on part 2 of this maiden voyage episode of Martins & More: Season 5.
