Well, many guitar experts would say that the pre-war Martin D Model guitars were the best as to American made acoustics. Some go for many thousands of dollars today. Here's a short quote from the Antiques Roadshow about the D-45 Martin acoustic guitar:

The "D" in this Martin D-45 stands for 'Dreadnought,' a battleship.
Bigger Is Better
"Collectors desire bigger guitars over the smaller parlor ones," says David, noting that collectors value a guitar's ability to fill up a room. Size and style join forces in one of the most sought-after Martins of the 20th century, the D-45 (the D stands for "Dreadnought," the name of a battleship of the era). With its abalone inlay, the D-45 was first made in 1933 as a special custom-order guitar for Gene Autry. D-45s are worth $140,000 - $180,000 today, far more than their smaller ancestors.
