DROP A COMMENT: Which Martin Museum guitar was your FAVORITE?

FROM Martin:

The Martin Museum At 510 Sycamore Street In Nazareth, PA Is Open To The Public.
Hours: 9:00 am -4:30 pm Monday through Friday

It is free to walk through the museum, however, we encourage visitors to offer a $5 donation to the Martin Guitar Charitable Foundation.

From the earliest known Martin guitar to the world famous Dreadnought, the Martin museum has well over a hundred guitars on display. Whether you want to look at antique gut string models, an ultra-rare 1930 OM-45 De Luxe or Kurt Cobain's D-18, we have almost two centuries of the finest hand built guitars on display.

If you're interested in how C.F. Martin & Co. has built guitars since the beginning, we have the company's earliest hand tools on display as well as a work bench from our storied North Street Factory. Also our archives contain hundreds of thousands of items and we have many of them on display. Whether it's one of Roy Rogers Nudie suits, photos of famous Martin players or a Gene Autry signed baseball, we have unique items that are worth checking out just as much as our guitars.
