THE JUNIOR SERIES | The Martin Junior Series is all grown up—and more ready than ever to go wherever the music takes you. With compact, comfortable body shapes, a full 24.9-inch scale length, solid tonewoods, built-in electronics, and fresh models to match your vibe, these guitars and basses are your perfect companions for couch sessions, jam nights, and road trip singalongs. The Junior Series delivers signature Martin sound with the familiar feel of a full-scale instrument in a size that fits your life. Wherever you’re headed, your full-scale companion is ready when you are. Anytime. Anywhere.
Small Body Acoustic Guitar. Full-Scale Feel.
The Martin Junior Series pairs a smaller, more comfortable body with a full 24.9-inch scale length—not the shorter scale common on 3/4-size travel guitars. Familiar fret spacing lets experienced players move between a standard Martin and a Junior without changing their technique or playing style. It also gives developing players room to build skills that translate naturally to other full-scale instruments. For anyone seeking a full-scale acoustic guitar in a small-body design, Junior Series acoustic guitars offer familiar playability, all-solid-wood tone, and greater comfort without the extra reach required by a larger body.
Who Is the Junior Series For?
The Junior Series is made for players who prefer a comfortable acoustic guitar without giving up a familiar full-scale feel. Its compact design is ideal for smaller-framed and older musicians, players who find larger Dreadnoughts cumbersome, anyone seeking relief from shoulder or arm discomfort, and those transitioning from classical, parlor, or other small body acoustic guitars. It is equally suited to writing, rehearsing, performing, and playing at home. If you’re primarily looking for a travel-friendly or beginner guitar with a shorter scale length, explore the Little Martin LX Series. The Martin Junior Series is designed for full-scale players who simply prefer a smaller body.
The Refreshed Junior Series
The Junior Series packs all the tone, comfort, and quality you’d expect from a Martin into a comfortable, adventure-ready package. With thoughtful upgrades and player-focused design, it’s built to go wherever inspiration strikes.
