Martin Guitar History at Hansen Music

Iconic Willy Martin Guitar

Every guitar company has a unique story, but few are quite as historic and influential as C.F. Martin. When you think of a guitar and that recognizable shape – it’s likely the tracing of an old Martin guitar. It’s not just about a long-running guitar company, it’s about that long-running tone and style.

What’s even more remarkable is that this company, which is approaching its 200th birthday, has remained a family business throughout all the twists and turns of the guitar’s popularity over the last century, and throughout that time has retained a reputation as perhaps the most famous acoustic maker on earth.

The foundation of Martin’s enduring legacy rests on two core principles – quality and craftsmanship. But the brand’s impact extends far beyond these ideals. Throughout its history Martin has continued to find novel, inventive methods of improving the seemingly simple design of the acoustic guitar in constant a pursuit of the best possible sound.
