Heart of the sound

A hand-made sonic engine. An authentic process that originated in 1843. The Streetmaster comes fitted with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing. This specific type of bracing structure consists of two braces forming an 'X' shape across the soundboard which not only enhances the sound and offers a well-balanced tone, but also provides a reinforced and durable structure.

Furthermore, with traditional hand-scalloped X-bracing, the Streetmaster's tone is enhanced beautifully, providing superior projection and volume for a truly expressive sound. And, with this bracing being scalloped by hand, it requires much more time and effort to construct a guitar in this manner. But, the results are sensational. Time honoured and durable with a superior tone.

Streetmaster playability - enhanced

For 183 years, Martin have been at the forefront of guitar innovation and premier craftsmanship, bringing you some of the best acoustic guitars possible. The iconic Martin tone is known worldwide and playability has become an important characteristic that sets Martin guitars aside. And, with the Plek process, Martin guitars maintain their undeniably majestic tone.

The Plek process is a computer controlled device that scans and dresses the guitar under actual playing conditions. It's strung and tuned to pitch for precise string tension emulation. This machine has been a major breakthrough over the last decade. This is because the machine's meticulous attention to detail identifies exactly what needs to be done to bring you perfect fretwork. This innovative machine provides flawless results. Experience a premium quality instrument with a stunning sound, and easy, smooth playability.
