Martin made in USA vs made in Mexico? - The Acoustic Guitar …
2023年5月17日 · The cheaper Martins are made in Mexico because of labor costs. When Fender opened the Ensenada factory, it was said you could have your guitar made by Mexicans in Mexico or Mexicans in the US. I'd like to see a D 18 made in Mexico just for the fun of it. The market probably wouldn't support it though. _____
Mexican Martins - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
2009年1月28日 · As for them being made in Mexico: Martin makes most of the X series guitars, as well as strings and cases, in their Mexican factory. There are some X series guitars still being produced in Nazareth, but production is being moved to Mexico increasingly.
Martin made in USA vs made in Mexico? - Page 2 - The Acoustic …
2023年12月6日 · Martin recently introduced the D-15E, which is the first 15 series guitar made in Mexico. I haven’t seen one in person, but I suspect that one would be able to tell the build quality apart from a D-15 made in Nazareth. Materials, yes, that’s how Martin is able to price it at $1,300 (with a street price probably under $1,200).
Martin DCX1E? Made in Mexico? Opinions? - The Acoustic Guitar …
2009年8月18日 · Reviews seem pretty good although everyone on most review boards seem to love every guitar they own. Getting tired of carrying my 90s Taylor in a case that weights 40 lbs. So this would be more of a throw (gently) in the car in a gig bag guitar. Are these made in Mexico or Nazareth. Have seen conflicting answers.
Martin DRS1- Made in USA or Mexico? - Acoustic Guitar Forum
2017年12月6日 · This is my first post here on the Acoustic Guitar Forum. I was recently browsing the the acoustics at my local Guitar Center when I came across a Martin DRS1 that clearly read "Made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania" on its label.

Martin 15 Series Made in Mexico? - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
2012年3月16日 · I was watching the video on the Martin site and it indicates the D-15 is made in Mexico ( at least that was my impression). If they are made in Mexico, are all all the 15 series guitars made in Mexico or just the D-15? If they are made in Mexico does it really matter from a quality perspective? I ask cause I am interested in a 000-15SM.
USA-made HPL Martins - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
2015年2月6日 · After being employed at a music store for some time and learning much more about Martin, I found something strange. My guitar was an early run of the HPL Martins, and although all X-series Martins are now made in Mexico, mine was made in Nazareth. It was $500. In the soundhole it clearly states it was built in the U.S.
Where is it really made? - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
2020年11月15日 · I purchased a guitar from a major company not long ago. The Guitar had an issue and I choose to return it rather than send it to an authorized warranty repair shop. The customer service people I spoke to were very nice, and informed me that they cannot check every guitar that is made in Mexico and sometimes one slips through.
Martin & Mexico - The Acoustic Guitar Forum
2015年5月10日 · I just did that yesterday and I bought the Martin. It SOUNDED better that the other choices at that price range. Sure - the $900 Taylor sounded better - but I didn't have that kind of money to spend. I bet the $3500 Gibsons sounded great too. Martin Guitar has a lot to lose if they approve crappy workmanship and sub-par materials.
Martin DRS1- Made in USA or Mexico? - Acoustic Guitar Forum
2018年12月27日 · Every other Martin DRS1 I have looked (online) states that the DRS1 is "Made in Mexico" on the description in the specifications. Also the difference between the two guitars is the one that says crafted in the USA (mine) has a solid wood neck and the one made in Mexico has a laminated HPL Stratobond neck.
