CF Martin & Company is a long-standing company, holding the title of being the oldest guitar company in the United States. Christian Frederick Martin founded the company in 1833. After more than a century of refining their techniques and guitar designs and setting a standard for excellence, it should come as no coincidence that Martin is one of the most popular acoustic guitar companies in the world.
CF Martin & Company was founded 184 years ago, but is still a family business. The Martin Family's success in creating one-of-a-kind acoustic instruments and parts continues with a tradition of active involvement in the process at all levels of the company, including the CEO.
