Martin Guitars are one of those brands that we just never tire of learning about. Their contribution to the development of the modern acoustic is unmatched by any other manufacturer and the rich history that goes along with it is nothing short of fascinating.
We were over the moon to have the opportunity to chat with two experts from the iconic Martin Museum in Nazareth, PA. Dive into our interview where they discussed Martin's building techniques, showcased some of the most impressive showpieces from their astounding collection of artist models, and also gave them a strum just so we can hear how awesome they sound. Every model that they showed us - from Kurt Cobain to Johnny Cash's trusty acoustics - had an interesting story behind it. So, grab a cuppa and get ready to learn some Martin history.
