What guitar models are made by C.F. Martin and Company?

C.F. Martin and Company created the dreadnought-style acoustic guitar in 1916, and it is one of the most-recognizable models made by the brand. The body of a dreadnought is larger than the body of other types of acoustic guitars, which gives it a richer and louder tone. The top and the bottom of the body are flat, and the neck is connected to the body at the 14th fret instead of the usual 12th fret. Martins line of dreadnoughts is known as D-sized guitars.
