Overview

An eco-conscious guitar with resonant tone and sustainable design.

The Biosphere III dreadnought acoustic guitar is a moving tribute to sustainability, blending Martin's iconic craftsmanship with a powerful message of environmental stewardship. Constructed entirely of FSC-certified woods, this model features a solid Sitka spruce top paired with sapele back and sides, delivering a rich, resonant tone. The forward-shifted X-bracing, crafted from FSC-certified European spruce, ensures exceptional projection and clarity. Its custom-ink top design by Robert Goetzl depicts a polar bear mother and cub, symbolizing the fragility of our planet and the importance of protecting future generations. Every detail, from the nickel open-gear tuners to the aluminum side dots, reflects Martin's commitment to quality and the environment. This guitar isn't just an instrument—it's a statement. Strung with Luxe by Martin Kovar strings, the Biosphere III inspires both musically and environmentally, ensuring your performance resonates with purpose.

Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar With FSC-Certified Tonewoods

Crafted with FSC-certified solid Sitka spruce and sapele, this dreadnought acoustic guitar produces a tone as bold as its visual statement. The Sitka spruce top offers dynamic response and clarity, making it ideal for expressive playing. Sapele back and sides add warmth and depth, complementing the spruce top to create a full, resonant sound. The forward-shifted X-bracing, inspired by Martin's Golden Era scalloped designs, enhances projection and tonal balance. Together, these carefully chosen tonewoods deliver a voice that is both vibrant and refined, honoring Martin's legendary sound while supporting sustainability.

Martin Golden Era-Inspired Bracing For Enhanced Projection

The Biosphere III incorporates forward-shifted X-bracing with FSC-certified European spruce, a design inspired by Martin's Golden Era models. This bracing pattern allows the guitar's top to vibrate more freely, improving resonance and sustain. The scalloped construction adds depth and warmth to the tone without sacrificing clarity, making it an excellent choice for players who require robust projection. Whether strumming in an ensemble or fingerpicking solo, this bracing ensures the instrument's sound fills the room with rich, dynamic energy.

Thoughtful Acoustic Guitar Design With Environmental Purpose

This guitar is not only a testament to Martin's craftsmanship but also to their environmental advocacy. The custom-ink design by Robert Goetzl adds a poignant visual element, depicting a polar bear and cub amidst icy waters and a vibrant sky. European flamed maple binding and satin finishes elevate the aesthetic, while aluminum side dots and FSC-certified ebony and sapele components underscore Martin's commitment to sustainable materials. The attention to detail ensures that every aspect of this guitar reflects its deeper purpose—raising awareness for environmental challenges through music.

Dreadnought Guitar, Durable Build, Premium Components

The Biosphere III dreadnought is built for long-term performance, thanks to its premium materials and expert construction. The simple dovetail neck joint, paired with FSC-certified select mahogany, ensures stability and smooth playability. Bone nut and saddle components provide excellent tonal transfer, enhancing sustain and clarity. The nickel open-gear tuners offer reliable tuning stability, while the satin finish protects the wood and allows for optimal resonance. These durable features ensure the guitar delivers consistent performance over time, making it an enduring tribute to both craftsmanship and sustainability.
