Paul, who died of pneumonia yesterday at the age of 94, is less recognized as a digital innovator. But maybe he should be.

More popular Martins generally sell for $2,000 to $3,000. Initial reaction is promising. The company, which had sales of $93 million last year, introduced the 1 Series in April and promptly sold out its first year's output of 8,000 guitars. "We needed something...
