Innovations over centuries.

Founder C.F. Martin Sr. invented the X-beam in the mid-19th century to enhance the guitar's body while producing richer tones, and this technology is still widely used today. His design experiments created the characteristics and timbre of the American folk guitar that you know today. Decades later, Frank Henry Martin created the Dreadnought guitar style, which can be said to be an important and influential guitar body in history. C. F. Martin IV opened up a whole new era with the X series and revolutionary SC-13E. Balancing innovation and tradition is just one of the many things Martin excels at. Martin will be unanimously committed to this.
