Paying homage to the pre-war Martin guitars of the 1930s and 1940s (often cited as the company's "golden era") Martin unveiled its new Retro series of acoustics at Summer NAMM in Nashville.
In the above video, Chris Thomas of Martin Guitar shows off the new D-45E Retro. Other models in the line include the D-18E Retro, HD-28E Retro, and OM-28E Retro.
After explaining the design properties of the Retro series, Thomas lets loose with some fanciful strumming.
