Dreadnought (dred-nawt): noun 1. A type of battleship introduced in the early 20th century, largerand faster than its predecessors and equipped entirely with large caliber guns.

2. A type of acoustic guitar with a larger body and louder sound than all previous guitars.

The Martin Dreadnought guitar celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2016. It was named after the British battleship Dreadnought, which also celebrates its 110th anniversary in 2016.

The British Dreadnought was the most powerful battleship in the world when she was launched. It became the new standard for design and construction. Navies around the world copied her design.

I’m very proud that my ancestors designed a guitar with similar qualities.

— Chris Martin IV, Chairman & CEO

IT’S NOT JUST AN INSTRUMENT; IT IS A WORK OF ART. PAMPER IT.

If it’s one thing we know, it’s finely crafted and vintage instruments. We created our Marquis line to pamper your guitar by adding a soft thread wraps at the ball ends

which prevent wear and tear on the bridge and bridge plate as you play. Our thread wrap puts a comforting layer of protection in place every time you change your strings.
