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. 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.

Ethereal Digital Paintings Capture The Look Of Loneliness Loneliness never looked so depressingly good. Variations of glittered deformations form the basis for a grotesquely beautiful motif in the works of Japanese artist 非(xhxix). Digitally sketching, drawing, and painting everything using Photoshop alone, 非 visualizes loneliness in his subjects and decorates them with scars, layers of geometric abstractions and floral imagery.
