He loves guitars made with exceptional sensitivity and expressive dynamics, so that most of these instruments are more like boutique guitars in this respect than the typical production line Martin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Designed by Greene and his Custom Shop staff, these guitars often mix elements of design found on the Authentic series with innovative features like carbon fiber neck rods, unusual tonewoods, and the latest in plug-and play electronics. But no two models from the Martin CS series are exactly alike in the details.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Martin CS Models Reviewed at One Man&#8217;s Guitar<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>*Note: the number at the end of the model indicates the year of production.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/reviews\/acoustic-guitars\/martin\/cs-21-11\/\" target=\"_blank\">CS-21-11<\/a> -ultralight &#8220;Authentic&#8221; Madagascar rosewood dreadnought with a sleek fast neck<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/reviews\/acoustic-guitars\/martin\/cs-series\/cs-d18-12\/\" target=\"_blank\">CS-D18-12<\/a> &#8211; 12-fret dreadnought made from 600 year old sinker mahogany<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/reviews\/acoustic-guitars\/martin\/cs-om-13\/\" target=\"_blank\">CS-OM-13<\/a> &#8211; ultralight and responsive Madagascar rosewood OM<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/reviews\/acoustic-guitars\/martin\/cs-00s-14\/\" target=\"_blank\">CS-00S-14<\/a> &#8211; traditional 12-fret 00 in Madagascar rosewood with a VTS torrefied spruce top<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/reviews\/acoustic-guitars\/martin\/cs-series\/cs-gp-14-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">CS-GP-14<\/a> &#8211; non-cutaway Grand Performance body size, Guatemalan rosewood with a VTS spruce top<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P3p2sf-1lb\" target=\"_blank\">CS-00041-15 <\/a>&#8211; short-scale 000 in cocobolo with a VTS Adirondack spruce top<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P3p2sf-1zN\" target=\"_blank\">CS-D41-15<\/a> &#8211; Indian rosewood and VTS Sitka spruce perfected<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P3p2sf-1KU\" target=\"_blank\">CS-OM True North-16<\/a> &#8211; outrageous figured koa, master grade Adirondack spruce, amazing wooden marquetry<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P3p2sf-20f\" target=\"_blank\">CS-Bluegrass-16<\/a> &#8211; large sound hole cannon of Guatemalan rosewood and VTS Adirondack spruce<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp.me\/P3p2sf-2cB\" target=\"_blank\">CS-CFMartin Outlaw-17<\/a> &#8211; marvelous Mahogany and VTS Adirondack spruce with Authentic Series construction and the modern High Performance neck<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/00-cs-.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-3927 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/00-cs--300x117.jpg\" alt=\"CS Series of Martin Guitars onemanz.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/00-cs--300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onemanz.com\/guitar\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/04\/00-cs-.jpg 873w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><script src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" async=\"\"><\/script><!-- Leader Board --> <ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 728px; height: 90px;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1390874476445023\" data-ad-slot=\"5995692994\"><\/ins><script>\/\/ <![CDATA[ (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Martin CS series offers acoustic guitars that combine features of traditional Martins with modern technology and outside-the-box aesthetic beauty.
