From the reviews
I came for the group tour which was really cool and only cost $5. It's interesting to see how Martin guitars are made from start to finish. There is also a museum inside of the building which showcased lots of rich history.
An Incredible Experience – A Must-See in Nazareth, PA! My father and I had an absolutely fantastic time touring the Martin Guitar Factory in Nazareth, PA. The tour is incredibly well laid out and offers a fascinating, behind-the-scenes look at the entire guitar-making process—from raw wood to beautifully finished…
This beautiful building houses the museum, the gift shop, and the factory that churns out thousands of guitars that professional and amateur players cherish throughout the world. For a small fee, one can take a behind-the-scenes tour of the factory to see how an instrument is made.
A long-cherished guitar pilgrimage and rite of passage! It was a privilege visiting the headquarters of C. F. Martin and Co., the manufacturers of Martin Guitars, located in the sleepy little town of Nazareth, PA.
Lessons at C. F. Martin & Co., Inc.
Reviews and the store's own info mention lessons at C. F. Martin & Co., Inc.. If you're signing up a beginner (or restarting yourself), a quick call ahead answers the three things that matter: which instruments they teach, whether the schedule has openings at the time you actually need, and what a first lesson costs. There's no wrong first guitar — a good teacher will happily work with whatever you walk in with, and a shop that teaches usually keeps affordable starter instruments on hand for exactly this reason.
