Can you identify the factory from its statement above?
Yes, it's the C. F. Martin Company, Nazareth, Pennsylvania. It has been creating these stringed instruments beloved by artists across the world for more than 175 years. Martin continues to innovate, introducing techniques and features that have become industry standards for fine guitars. Whether for folk, classical, bluegrass, or just plain acoustical applications, Martin guitars––produced in the Keystone State––are revered.
One of the world's leading acoustic instrument makers, Martin guitars are hand-made by skilled craftsmen and women, who use a combination of new design and techniques along with those introduced by the company founder––some tools and methods dating back to 1833! Here are just a few of their models:
The Road King
The SM Ovine-16
