Martin Guitars has been operating in Nazareth, Pennsylvania since 1839, and the company has been in its current facility since 1964. Martin’s public factory tours are a bucket-list activity for many guitarists, but traveling to Nazareth is not an option for everyone. This series of three videos is the next-best thing to an actual factory visit, as tour guide Steve takes you through every step of Martin guitar production, from wood delivery to final setup.
