The new D-45, released in 1968, cost $1,200 and was the most expensive flat-top steel-string guitar made in the United States at the time. By 1969, Martin sold twice as many D-45s as during the entire 1933–1942 run; customers included David Crosby and Jimi Hendrix. [1] In 1971, a 12-string model was made, [1] and in 1973, another one.

Sales finally started to take off in 1935, "when they were given a single illustration on page 12 in the company's catalog, opposite a Hawaiian model." The ad read: "This is the famous 'Dread-naught' bass guitar, originated by Martin in 1917 and now modernized for the plectrum style of playing.
Many guitarists believe that the OM—a combination of Martin's modified 14-fret 000 body shape, long scale (25.4") neck, solid headstock, 1-3/4" nut width, 4-1/8" maximum depth at the endwedge, and 2-3/8" string spread at the bridge—offers the most versatile combination of features available in a steel-string acoustic guitar.
The lesser six-string models, such as the DM Mahogany series, had open-backed, three-on-a-plate non-adjustable "economy" tuners in the earliest years. Later ones were individual machines, but looked exactly the same from the front. The 12-string models had open-back "six-on-a-plate" (non-adjustable/economy) tuners.
Standard Series models included the F-30, F-30R, F-50, D-40, D-50, and the return of the F-212XL 12-string model. All Standard Series models featured red spruce bracing, satin mahogany necks, and bone saddles, nuts, and bridge pins, but have nondescript grade wood and different ornamentation than their Traditional Series counterparts.
