The Age of the Individual

This guitar may carry you to musical stardom or to your dad’s garage, but this guitar also carries the dreams and sweat of our mothers and our fathers and our father’s fathers, the customs they established toward making life their own.

We did this because sometimes you need a quality that won’t die on you.

So that when you take out your guitar for the first time and strum a sound that tickles your throat and fills your chest hole where the stuff of life is stirring, you will know that we made you…we give you…THIS. Your authorized Martin Guitar dealer is ready and waiting to start your journey today.

Safe travels, my friend.
