Martin Guitars - Iconic Instruments Handcrafted for Generations

For nearly two centuries, C.F. Martin & Co. has been creating what are widely regarded as the finest acoustic guitars ever made. The rich history and continued legacy of Martin guitars make them the perfect match for Tone Tailors. Our shared commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction ensures that Martin instruments will feel right at home on our shelves.

A Legacy of Superior Craftsmanship

The Martin story stretches back to 1833 when founder Christian Frederick Martin established a small workshop in New York City after emigrating from Germany. Seeking space to grow, Martin relocated to Nazareth, PA in 1839, where the company still proudly handcrafts its acclaimed guitars today.

Over 190 years later, Martin continues to set the standard for acoustic excellence. From pioneering advances like the X-bracing system to inventing the now-iconic dreadnought body style, Martin’s innovations laid the foundation for the modern acoustic guitar. And discerning musicians worldwide have relied on the sumptuous tones of Martin guitars ever since to create the soundtrack of American music.

Martin guitars have been played by legends across every genre from Hank Williams and Elvis Presley to Eric Clapton and John Mayer. Yet every instrument receives the same meticulous attention to detail and quality components. Premium tonewoods are hand-selected then joined with expert craftsmanship passed down through generations. Even as production capacity has grown, Martin maintains a focus on the human element, with skilled artisans overseeing each build.

A Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction

At Tone Tailors, we share Martin’s passion for delivering the ultimate ownership experience. Our knowledgeable staff takes time to listen and understand each customer’s musical needs. We proudly provide professional setups, servicing, and repairs to keep your instrument sounding its best. And we aim to match players with the right Martin model and accessories to help them sound their best.

The Vintage Room showcases Martin’s latest innovations while honoring classics that helped shape American music. For example, the new Road Series features stage-ready durability and playability expected from Martin in an accessible package. And Authentic Series models employ vintage materials and techniques relived from the company’s “golden era.”

Of course, our Martin room also includes iconic instruments like the D-28 dreadnought alongside newer hits like the comfortable Grand Performing Artist. We welcome players to come in and test drive any of these amazing instruments. Our goal is to start relationships that will last a lifetime – just like a Martin guitar.

Taking Customization to the Next Level

Martin not only pioneered guitar craftsmanship but also personally customizable instruments. Since the company’s earliest days, Martin has accepted special requests from leading musicians. This artisan approach led to the creation of their Custom Shop to build one-of-a-kind guitars tailored to each player’s vision.

The Martin Custom Shop offers virtually endless ways to make their iconic guitars your own. Choose premium tonewoods, customized soundboard bracing, high-end electronics, intricate inlays, and more.
