The entire process of making a Martin guitar can last from three to six months. Three-hundred separate steps must be performed by dozens of skilled craftsmen. The operations are done by computerized machines as well as by individuals who carry out the work by hand.. The process of heating and bending the wood against a mold to create the sides of the guitar dates back more than 100 years.

A personal thanks to Virgil for filing away the string grooves on the nut at the top of my 35's neck just right. I would never have guess that it was done by hand...and, sorry about your Phillies...maybe next year. Awesome production line. Awesome product.
