Customers outside of Australian Metro areas please be advised that we cannot offer free shipping on bulky items to certain rural areas.

If this applies to your order we will be in contact ASAP after checkout. This may result in a partial shipping cost after checkout or orders being refunded and cancelled due to our usual courier services being unable to service certain rural areas.

Pricing

Yes we price match! Read the full policy here before applying via the 'Price Match - Found A Better Price?' link on a product.

Advertised prices only apply to items currently in stock and ready to ship. Items that are out of stock, sold out or otherwise unavailable are subject to price changes that may be because of price rises and market fluctuations that are outside of Sky Music's control.

Due to constraints surrounding the procurement of old-growth Sitka spruce, Martin Guitar will allow the use of Lutz spruce in combination with Sitka spruce as needed.
Martin will be utilising both Sitka and Lutz spruce throughout their line of instruments. This will allow Martin to continue to provide the best quality spruce tops while meeting the significant demand for our products.

Lutz spruce is a naturally occurring hybrid of Sitka spruce and white spruce and grows in the same geographical areas as Sitka spruce. Lutz also has similar tonal and visual characteristics compared to Sitka spruce.

Models affected: All models that currently utilise Sitka spruce.
