Museum Pieces
Starting with the first guitars that Christian Frederick Martin ever built, in the 1830s, the collection at the Martin Guitar Museum in Nazareth, Pennsylvania works its way up to the company's modern era by including what seems like every variation of a Martin guitar, from standard production models to one-offs and prototypes and instruments used by artists from Hank Williams to Kurt Cobain. Noticeable variables- such as the introduction of the 14-fret neck and the change to more square shoulders, both exemplified on a pristine 1937 model (also $100)-sit alongside less obvious updates, such as the bracing variations and slimmer nut found on a lightly worn 1941 example ($125). The exhibit features a parallel timeline of events, like the Dust Bowl and World War II, as well as ephemera such as a 1967 copy of TV Guide with Star Trek on the cover, a poster for the 1990 movie Home Alone, and even a publicity photo of the rapper Vanilla Ice.
