A History of Martin Told by Chris Martin

Chris Martin, the sixth-generation owner of Martin Guitar, shares a fascinating history of the iconic brand while Craig Thatcher demonstrates guitars from different eras. Chris discusses his family's immigration story, showcases the impressive 2 millionth and 2.5 millionth guitars produced by Martin, and even reveals the true story behind the 145-year-old Martin guitar that was famously smashed in "The Hateful Eight" movie.

WHO ARE WE?
Firehouse Guitars is proud to be a true family business in the music industry. In 1997, founder Tim Adrianson started selling music gear out of a tiny shop in Grand Rapids, MI. The original store quickly grew and became a chain of full-line musical instrument and pro sound stores offering all of the industry’s top products from the likes of Ibanez, Yamaha, Fender, Martin, Boss, Roland, PRS, MXR, ESP, Peterson, Ovation, Audio Technica, Line 6, Seymour Duncan, Suhr, Orange, Jackson, Schecter, and so many more! GearTree.com was then started with the purpose of providing easy, online access to these same products at unbeatable prices.
