REVISIT: Martin Guitar Factory

Welp, 510 Sycamore St, Nazareth, PA 18064, here I am again. Hello, Hi! Great to see you again.

April comes and May MAY rain down some showers, but Michael (me in 3rd person) makes guitar factory visits. This time I visited with my buddy Nate who can shred with the best of them.

It was great seeing this factory again as many things, including their artists wall, were redone. They also installed a patented machine I probably can’t talk about but watching it is pretty sick. When I was there in the fall of 2024 they were installing it and literally could not speak of it- just that it was a new installation to make their already amazing instruments better. So if you are interested I guess in all fairness you just have to visit. There’s plenty of other cool history to check out while you’re in town.

As always I have nothing but great things to say about this place. For five crisp one-dollar-bills, one crisp 5-dollar-bill you get in. Don’t try a three-dollar-bill, because it might get you arrested. Actually…ya gotta sign up online with a solid piece of plastic. We calls them things debit or credit cards. Either way, the tour is $5 (should be clear by now, nerds).

It is worth every penny. Trust me. Sign up. And please visit this place to eat on your way out of town. They rule and take great care of you. No, I’m not sponsored but I’ll take free stuff if they see this! I recommend the burgers and pierogies.

Yeeaaahhhhh, that’s me. I’m playing a $4,000+ Martin acoustic guitar in their, “Picking Room.” What am I playing? Great question. “Horse with No Name” by America. Or Nirvana. Who knows. All I know is I didn’t want to break it!
