We have a brand new limited edition set of guitars made by Martin for Westside, their UK and Ireland distributors to tell you about today. If you’re an aficionado, you’ll love what they’ve done. The Martin North Street Edition is from the company’s own Custom Shop, so they are the top-level in terms of timbers, materials and construction. Of course, we know this already, since Martin’s Custom Shop masterpieces are nothing new to either us or yourselves. So, what makes the North Street Range any different? What’s the vibe?

Put simply, the North Street Edition has aimed its sights on that classic Pre-War era of acoustic instruments. This, for Martin, was the Golden Age: the 1920s and 30s are to acoustics what the 1950s and 60s are to electric guitars, basically. It’s even more of a thing with acoustics, actually, due not only to decades of ‘seasoning’ in sound that antique examples accrue, but to the scarcity of materials that subsequently occurred during WWII, which changed a lot of the output for Martin and everybody else. The golden age brought us many defining acoustic styles (the dreadnought guitar being the obvious one), and a definitive way of building them. All that we know and love about acoustic guitars in general spring from this fertile pre-war period.
