It all began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
Today Martin guitars are some of the bet acouistic guitars available on the market.
The production is around 80,000 guitars/years. The company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods.
