Martin Guitars: Chris Martin Retraces The Beginnings Of Martin

June 23, 2008
A History of Martin

Chris Martin of none other than Martin Guitars shows us his family tree as displayed on the top of a Martin acoustic, which I presume was once an actual tree. In this video, Chris gives us the abridged version of Martin's extensive history, which like Vin Diesel in the blockbuster classic smash hit The Fast And The Furious, is lived one and three quarters centuries at a time.

Chris will be touring with his band Coldplay in support of Viva La Vida.

Presenter: Gretchen Hasse, Gearwire
