C.F. MARTIN Guitar's "HOLY GRAIL" Project — How I finally found MY OWN Holy Grail!
#CFMartin #MartinGuitar #markknopfler
C.F. Martin & Co has been around since 1833. But they only started creating "Holy Grail" guitars for the world's greatest artists and musicians in 2001. Find out about Martin's "Holy Grail Project" and help ME celebrate the END of my quest to find the "Holy Grail" acoustic guitar — the ideal combination of quality, tone, playability and price. I FOUND IT! See if you agree.
Stay to the end when I share my two most important pieces of advice to help you find YOUR OWN holy grail guitar.
