The Martin Style 1 is a straight forward instrument without much ornamentation. But they are still very much prized for their sound and economy of construction.

It's very easy to get the Style 0 and Style 1 mixed up. The quickest way to spot the difference between a Style 0 and a Style 1 is to check the 7th fret. A Style 1 will have have a double-dot fret marker whereas the Style 0 will have only a single dot. Also, if the instrument is koa it will be a Style 1 as the Style 0 was only produced in mahogany.
