Factory Tour: Inside Martin Guitars. Nestled in the hills of the Lehigh Valley in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, is not just one of the oldest guitar makers in the United States, but one of our country’s oldest businesses, period. C.F. Martin & Co. was founded in 1833, just 57 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, and is today one of the largest and most respected makers of flattop acoustic guitars in the world. Martin employs over 600 people and makes tens of thousands of instruments per year. We were excited to tour their state-of-the-art facility in which they combine generations-old guitar building techniques with efficient, modern technology. Join us as we see what goes into making some of the world’s finest acoustic guitars.
The current Nazareth Martin factory was built in the 1990s, and replaced the original factory only a couple miles down the road. This is the acclimation room. This is the enormous milling area where the roughly cut woods become the raw materials for guitar building. Pages: 1 2. Guitar-chord-chart.jpg (JPEG Image, 470x778 pixels)
