Years back, I interviewed the president of the Martin Guitar Co. They were so kind to accomodate that meeting so that I could complete a project for one of my college classes. The legacy of the corporate culture shines though in their production and manufacturingof Martin products! Great job and keep up the good work! :) More

I will say I was a bit hesitant about taking my 5 year old but both my children LOVED it! Our tour guide was fantastic and kept my kids engaged. This tour really made me want to learn to play the guitar. The hand craftsmanship is truly amazing and how it all comes together is quite a feat. The tour... More

Martin Guitars has a new modern and (some parts) comuterized operation. They provide tours with very knowledgable guides and you will see the entire process from raw wood to finished product. The walls are filled with great pictures of Martin's history, the process as it changed over the years, the people involved and of course many of their famous customers.... More

Great FREE tour! Yes, FREE tour! The place is great for all people, even kids. It's very interesting and worth it. Took us about two hours total. It was our guides birthday and he was very friendly, funny, and informative. I'm not in to guitars at all and really enjoyed it! More

My son's Cub Scout den organized a tour of the factory. I never even knew it was there! I'm so glad we went. It was very interesting getting to see each step of production. Our tour guide was awesome and the boys got to play some guitars at the end. I noticed some guitars were labeled for John Mayer. It... More
