Used and vintage instruments from the C F Martin company, Nazareth, Pennsylvania - one of the oldest, if not the oldest guitar manufacturers in the United States.

My personal experience in buying, selling and repairing Martin guitars started in the early 80s in Denmark Street in London, where I worked with now VG head repairer, Willie Ross.
Despite that time being a low point for the Martin Company (guitar production was less than 5% of its current annual total) we handled some really great instruments - I remember the 150th Anniversary models arriving in 1983. It's frightening to think that they're now 25 years old and qualify as vintage guitars now!

Willie and I teamed up again a few years later at the new 'Hanks' in Tottenham Court Road and we quickly became the UK's largest dealer for these instruments, even before the shop moved to Denmark St where it lasted a few years before changing ownership.

In the intervening years, I opened the 'Martin Shop' at the now defunct Acoustic Centre before starting to write about Martin and its instruments in the UK guitar press.
