MARTIN, known as the world's most famous acoustic guitar manufacturer, is holding a pop-up event at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 8th floor = Isetan Men's Residence/Charlie Vice. The event will feature the "D-200 DELUXE" model (*while supplies last), a limited edition of 50 units worldwide produced to commemorate serial number 2,000,000, and will also feature weekly talk and acoustic live performances by top Japanese artists who are avid users of Martin guitars on weekends during the event period.


Founded in 1833 , Martin has had a profound influence on many guitar manufacturers with the sound produced by the X-bracing system devised by Martin Sr. in 1850, and is truly a standard in the world of acoustic guitars. This traditional specification has been passed down without fading, and Martin continues to release various styles of guitars to this day with an approach that is never bound by tradition.

The "D-200 DELUXE (*Limited Stock)" featured here is a masterpiece created to commemorate serial number 2,000,000. Drawing inspiration from the vast amount of time Martin Guitars has dedicated over 180 years since its founding, and also drawing inspiration from the watch manufacturer RGM, this model features unprecedented and innovative decorations.

Inspired by guitars crafted by Martin I, the guitar features multi-layered abalone pearl stripes on the Brazilian rosewood sides. In addition, colorful materials are used on various points, such as the fretboard and pickguard, to create inlays that evoke the image of time and clocks.

In particular, the aluminum rosette embedded in the carefully selected figured bear claw Engelmann spruce features a precise and extremely intricate wave-patterned inlay using a classical decorative technique called guilloché, which is used on watch dials and fountain pens.


This commemorative model is limited to just 50 pieces and comes as a set with a top-of-the-line case equipped with a hygrometer and an RGM watch specially made for this guitar.

Furthermore, during the pop-up period, talk and acoustic live performances by top Japanese artists who use Martin guitars will be held on a weekly basis. The performers will include Hirokazu Ogura, a leading Japanese guitarist, arranger, composer, and producer; Hiroya Ozaki, son of Yutaka Ozaki and active as a contemporary singer-songwriter; Makoto Saito, who is active as a solo artist and also serves as a support guitarist for Southern All Stars; Megumi Mori, a noteworthy singer-songwriter who was the first Japanese woman to perform at the NAMM show, the world's largest musical instrument event; and Hiroshi Fujiwara, a music producer and leader of worldwide street culture.

Applications for participation in the talk and acoustic live performance will be accepted via the digital ticketing service "PassMarket," and a pre-event lottery will be held. Artist information and application pages can be found below.
