Category:C. F. Martin electric guitars

Willie G. Moseley. "Martin EB-18". Vintage Guitar magazine (February 2008).
"The first electric efforts ... came about in the late 1950s, when Martin simply installed DeArmond pickups on flat-tops like the 00-18, D-18, and D-28. ... during the “guitar boom” of the ’60s, Martin undertook production of archtop electrics, as well; the F series, introduced in 1962, consisted of the one-pickup/single-cutaway F-50, the two-pickup/single-cutaway F-55, and the two-pickup/double-cut F-65. ... Later in the decade, the F models were supplanted by the fancier GT series, which consisted of the single-cutaway GT-70 and the double-cutaway GT-75. ... marked the end of Martin’s first electric instruments – the effort was abandoned in ’68. ... In 1979, Martin re-entered the electric guitar market with the solidbody E series, which consisted of the E-18 and EM-18 guitars and the EB-18 bass. ... The E series remained in production until 1983, when Martin even tried a fancier E-28 consisting of one guitar and one two-pickup bass with different body styles, neck-through construction, and active circuitry. ... the scale on the EB-28 bass was a slightly shorter 33.16″."
