The world-renowned guitar maker has now crafted 3 million guitars and has released limited-edition creations to celebrate the accomplishment. 

Martin Guitar has unveiled the latest additions in its 2025 NAMM Show lineup, saying the guitars were designed to embody its mission of unleashing the artist within. 

The guitar maker said these new models join the refreshed Standard Series and Retro Plus guitars, showcasing Martin’s unwavering dedication to craftsmanship and creativity.  

Among the new creations, the Martin D-3 Millionth was designed to be a celebration of Martin Guitar’s rich legacy, craftsmanship, and the people behind it all. 

This limited-edition Dreadnought, marking the 3 millionth serialized Martin guitar, depicts a cross section of an American sycamore tree, featuring rings made of real sycamore and solid gold representing each year of the company’s growth, with diamonds marking major milestones in Martin’s 192-year history.  

The theme of “past, present, and future” is represented by each detail, including its ebony headplate showcasing a diamond-filled Moravian star and an engraved 14-karat palladium pickguard, with rubies marking each of Martin’s three Nazareth-area factory locations since 1839. 

Only three of these guitars were created and only one is for sale
