Martin Guitar Catalog 2002

Picture this: The early 2000s. The rise of the internet as we now know it, garage bands starting to make their big breaks, vinyl making a tentative comeback, and in the midst of all this retro-modern confusion, acoustic guitars remained that one constant we could all lean on.

They were timeless. They were nostalgic. They embodied both past and future. And if you were a guitar enthusiast back then, the one catalog you eagerly waited for with bated breath was the Martin Guitar Catalog, and the 2002 edition was an especial delight.
