"Rare Tonewood, Classic Martin Feel”

A Limited-Run Dreadnought with Solid Top and Boutique Styling“

The Martin D-6032 is a rare and distinctive acoustic guitar from Martin’s Shenandoah Series, produced in extremely limited numbers during the late 1980s. With only around 68 units reportedly made, this 6-string dreadnought is considered an “oddball” gem among collectors and enthusiasts. It features a solid spruce top paired with bird’s-eye maple back and sides, offering a bright, articulate tone with striking visual appeal.

The craftsmanship and tone have earned it a cult following, with players praising its projection, clarity, and unique character.
