- Every package we ship comes extra packed to ensure the absolute safest travel from our store to your hands
- All shipments go out ASAP.

Pieces of information to note:
- Reverb’s “Product Specs” can tend to be wrong, please refer to our description as we try to provide as much information as possible, Reverb autofills product information past our description which can cause much confusion
- When it comes to shipping we always ship with “Adult Signature Required” to avoid theft at all cost
- We only ship within the continental USA
“One hundred and ninety years ago, on November 6th, my great, great, great grandfather and grandmother and their two children arrived in New York City from Germany. They came to America seeking opportunity and freedom. They initially settled at 196 Hudson Street and opened the first Martin Guitar workshop in the New World. I was looking for a way for us to celebrate this milestone. In 1976 (the anniversary of the founding of our nation) we introduced the D-19. It was designed as an upmarket D-18. We stained the top to utilize spruce that was cosmetically challenged. An early nod to sustainability. I thought it would be appropriate to dust off that model designation and make 190 contemporary D-19s to honor our 190th anniversary. This model also embraces sustainability by utilizing cosmetically challenged Adirondack spruce tops that we have had in inventory for a while. We sent them through our Mimaki printer to achieve a figured mahogany look for the top. Hope you like it.”
