Martin serial number decoder

Find the date of your Martin guitar

You can use this tool to date any C.F Martin guitar from its serial number. It can accurately date any Martin guitar from 1898 to date. Earlier Martin guitars will be shown as pre-1898. I also have a tool to decode C.F. Martin mandolin serial numbers

The serial number on Martin acoustic guitars is below the model designation on the end of the neck block inside the guitar. It will be a number between 4 and 7 digits long.
