  • I appreciate the sympathy and sensitivity in regards to the guitar taken to Normandy. What a waste of human life.

  • What a video. I've cried and laughed multiple times. I can only hope I will manage to get to see this museum before I kick the bucket.

  • That early steel string guitar.. i cant believe it came out of the case and sounded that clean… just bang on…

  • Great video. This tour is now on my bucket list. Along with visiting Andertons ????.

    Quick question and I get you guys probably stayed away from the question outta respect for Martin but at about 27 min into the video there was a strat and a Les Paul in the bottom of the case. They looked like holy grails as well.

    Did you guys get any background on their relevance to the Martin museum ?

  • That’s a wonderful museum. Brought my family there a few years ago and didn’t tour of the museum and the factory watching the workers make the guitars. Absolutely incredible. This is why Martin guitars are expensive. Because they are worth it.

  • Seeing that section for the fallen men, Martin just gained a new fan. Thank you Martin from a British Vet, love it

  • Awesome…. I like these factory tours and museum tours.. I'd like to see you guys do a visit and interview at the Warwick/Framus factory ..
    They are built where CF Martin came from…
    I also wish Lee would take a xanax and stop being a motor mouth interrupter…sometimes its a bit annoying

  • I can't travel due to health so I'll never get to see this place. I really enjoyed this. As for Lee…I get it bud, I get it.

  • Great tour. I love Martin Guitars. Have for over 30 years, and have owned several. My current Martin is a D-18E Retro.
    Great stuff!

    Now, all that being said, I hate this HPL (Formica) crap that has taken over their lower priced lines. I’ve owned one – a Little Martin – and couldn’t stand playing it. It feels like a plastic guitar. It is a plastic guitar.

    So considering every other guitar manufacturer is capable of building sub-$600 guitars out of WOOD – why has Martin abandoned that all together? Build them in Mexico, or China, use plywood back and sides, but please go back to offering wooden guitars in an affordable range. Hell, if you don’t want to do that and put the Martin name on them, do the Fender/Squire and Gibson/Epiphone deal and resurrect the Sigma Brand. Whatever you need to do would be acceptable, but please ditch the Formica. It sucks. I’d much rather own and play a $100 Epiphone acoustic (which I’ve owned), or better yet a $130 Recording King Dirty 30s parlor guitar (which I currently own) than a $500 Martin X-whatever. Seriously.

  • If you want to talk about “artisan, lunatic level” check out Ben Crowe on the Crimson Guitars channel. He does all that sort of thing with hand tools… Love this video! Keep up the good work – take me with you next time, ok? Ok…? Please…….? ????

  • Perry Baktel? {if the spelling is rite?} that small guitar w the crazy tuners; ???? that, is the most majestic sounding guitar I ever heard ! balanced, (the way I'd prefer) and still ringing through Me, and through my phone yet. That ole' thing is a treasure/gem. If Martin & Co. worked on a re~issue of that; I would rearrange MY LIFE too own one! > thanks Guys' & Martin & Co. ???? for the Grand Tour ???? ❤

  • Catgut: Catgut is a type of cord that is prepared from the natural fiber found in the walls of animal intestines. Catgut makers usually use sheep or goat intestines, but occasionally use the intestines of cattle, hogs, horses, mules, or donkeys. Despite the name, catgut is not made from cat intestines.

  • I feel like old mate giving the tour, knows very little about the history of the company he works for! He know zero answers to all the questions.

  • This Andertons Martin Museum video and a new firmware update for my Boss GT1000 has made my Friday evening perfect .

  • Nice to see “Grandpa” should have a photo of Mary Lou and Elliott playing it next to Kurt also. thanks for the great tour

  • This was absolutely awesome, it's all stuff like this that shows why Martin are some of the absolute GOATs when it comes to acoustic guitars and I love it. I honestly loved seeing Kurt's acoustic, that one was absolutely gorgeous, man…

  • 32:08 I started playing guitar because of Nirvana — Christmas 1995 woke up to an electric and a crate 2×12. Haven’t looked back.

  • god i live in pa and i love traditional craftsmanship it would be so easy to get me to like martins, if they simply sounded like they weren't in another room and didn't have the most boring headstock in history

  • That Hateful Eight story makes me absolutely sick. Knowing Tarantino, he probably intentionally arranged to smash that guitar, just to get the reaction. And after seeing this video, and the love that goes into these instruments, it kind of makes it worse.
