The Frist Art Museum in Nashville recently invited C.F. (Chris) Martin, IV. to share the history of Martin Guitar in conjunction with their exhibit “Stringed Stories: The Guitar in American Art.”

To the delight of the standing-room-only crowd of 300 guests, Martin displayed and discussed priceless guitars and prototypes from the Martin Museum in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. He was joined on stage by visual artist Robert Goetzl, who has designed and hand-painted several Martin guitar models over the years, and Martin Clinician and singer-songwriter Craig Thatcher, who played the instruments.

Afterward, Martin held a meet and greet where he autographed wooden sound hole souvenirs and took photos with attendees. The Stringed Stories exhibit is open through Aug. 13.
