Martin Guitars and Rolls Royce automobiles. Martin and Steinway pianos. Martin and Baccarat crystal. High-falutin comparisons, to be surebut few acoustic musicians can hear the name "C. F. Martin" without instantly linking it to some mental image that stands for enduring quality. Since 1833, the Martin Guitar Company has provided instruments of consistently high caliber to virtually a world-wide market. Among musicians there is a standing joke about being able to communicate in any language as long as you say, "Martin guitar."
