How the USA’s Oldest Guitar Company Makes $2800 Instruments | So Expensive | Insider Business

Martin acoustic guitars are some of the most popular and well-known high-end acoustic guitars in the world. They're owned and played by pop stars like Ed Sheeran and Shawn Mendes. In the past, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, Kurt Cobain, and Bob Dylan all have used Martin guitars. Martin is one of the oldest guitar brands still active, having opened in 1833 in downtown Manhattan, New York. Today, the company is based in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, and is still owned by the descendants of its founder, Christian Frederick Martin.

Editor’s Note: In the video we say spruce is used for the bottom of the guitar, but Martin Guitars typically uses rosewood for bottoms.
