Skeletonized scalloped bracing makes this most untraditional Martin flattop light and extra resonant.
A legendary British brute is reduced in size, weight, and wattage without sacrificing its characteristic brawn, chimey clean tones, or intoxicating overdrive sounds.
Inspired by the JTM first produced in 1962, the new Marshall Studio JTM is designed to bring the modern player the same legendary, warm, and smooth tone that inspired generations of musicians.
To honor what would have been Jim Marshall’s 100th birthday and to pay homage to the first Marshall amp, our Studio series has a new addition.
The new Studio JTM range comes in four unique but equally distinguished products in the form of a 20W head, 20W combo amp, 1 x 12” and 2 x 12” cabs all adorned with period-correct aesthetics such as the famous red enamel poured “coffin” logo and luxurious fawn fret.
The original JTM45 was heavily praised by the likes of Gary Moore, Richie Blackmore, and Angus Young for granting more tone, more gain, and more grit to their sound. Today, this same ethos is the driving fuel behind the creation of the Studio JTM, having recreated the sound of the JTM in immaculate detail and being handmade in our world-class UK factory in Milton Keynes.
The company's most iconic dreadnoughts lives again in American-built form—it’s both balanced and a cannon.
Since the 1950’s the Guild name has been synonymous with premium acoustic guitars that embody a rich heritage of USA-made craftsmanship. As the brand celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2023, Guild has released revamped versions of its classic D-40, D-50, and F-40 models in its all-new Standard Series.
The new Standard Series joins Guild’s USA product line just under its flagship 55 and Traditional models. The series offers players a blend of vintage appointments and modern aesthetic. Tailor-made for musicians seeking a contemporary guitar that exudes sophistication while embracing a tasteful simplicity distinct from the company’s premium lineup. Featuring dot neck inlays and unbound headstocks, the series also introduces Guild’s innovative Vintage Gloss finish - an ultra-thin nitrocellulose application with both satin and gloss qualities that highlight the natural beauty of the tonewoods. With an even and smooth texture, the Vintage Gloss is hand-sprayed and gives each guitar a worn-in vintage feel, all the while maintaining a strikingly contemporary and polished look.
The Standard Series not only reintroduces Guild’s legendary D-50, an iconic Spruce and Rosewood dreadnought that once stood as a cornerstone in the company's offerings until its production transitioned to California in 2014 but also resurrects it as the D-50 Standard. This revival fills a crucial Rosewood niche just beneath Guild's flagship D-55.
All Standard Series models feature an East Indian Rosewood bridge and fingerboard, premium 20:1 open-gear tuners, and hand-cut bone nut and saddle. Timeless appointments include a 60s style rosette, tortoiseshell pickguard, white ABS binding, and Guild’s peak logo inlaid on the headstock. All models are hand made in California and include a hand-signed, numbered certificate of authenticity, and ship with a Guild archtop wood case with a built-in Humicase® humidification system.
