Hal Leonard Martin Guitars: A History

Als groot liefhebber van Martin - gitaren ivind ik dit een heerlijk boek. interessante tekst en prachtige foto's.

Beautiful illustrations and history of Martine Guitars great value and moneys worth

Pazzesco. Se siete amanti delle chitarre Martin, delle chitarre in genere, o anche solo di storia, acquistate questo libro. Sono rimasto colpito dalla qualità delle foto/documenti e da come vengono minuziosamente ripercorsi gli step che hanno reso le Martin le chitarre che conosciamo oggi. Non fatevelo sfuggire. Una perla!!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. If one is a Martin fan it will be an emersion into the Martin legacy. I must say kudos to Chris Martin IV, current CEO. This man makes his forebears proud. A brilliant businessman who knows the evolving guitar business and understands his legacy of continuing to stay true to creating fine handcrafted guitars. The extensive and detailed records of the Martin business from 1833 remain mostly intact, and were used to construct a rare and authentic view of an evolving American enterprise.For the fan, and I am one the book is great fun the photography is excellent and the print/paper quality is very nice.I purchased a D35 in 1977, and I called Martin whilst reading this book, and they had the record of me being the original purchaser. Pretty cool. Not only that, the guitar has a little problem with separation at the pick guard (after 41 years) the gentleman on the phone said, "Send it to us and we will fix it-no charge. Or you can take it to an authorized luthier near you and we will cover the repair." That's why they have been around and thrived since 1833.
