Factory Tour | Martin Guitars
A complete tour of Martin's Nazareth, Pennsylvania factory.
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.
