About C. F. Martin & Company

Also called the Martin Guitar Company (or simply, Martin), C. F. Martin & Company is the oldest United States guitar maker in business today. The company was founded by Christian Frederick Martin. His father, George Martin, is said to be one of the first guitar builders in Germany. Christian Frederick Martin began his long journey making guitars at the early age of 15. He traveled to Vienna to apprentice with renowned guitar maker, Johann Stauffer. Stauffer’s techniques influenced Martin throughout his career. When Martin returned to Markneukirchen, Germany, to start his own company, he found himself caught in a dispute between the Violin Makers Guild and the Cabinet Makers Guild. Martin was a descendant of Cabinet Makers, and thus, belonged to that guild.

The cabinet makers successfully defended their right to manufacture guitars. However, the dispute took a toll on C. F. Martin, who decided to immigrate to the United States. On September 9, 1833, Martin left Germany for New York City. Martin quickly set up the first Martin guitar making shop at 196 Hudson Street on the Lower West Side. In 1859, the first Martin guitar factory was constructed in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, at the intersection of North St. and Main St. When you're looking to purchase a guitar from a brand that has plenty of experience, it's hard to find one better qualified than C.
