The Martin Guitar Factory Tour is well worth it for anyone at all interested in guitars, music or hi tech production of instruments that were historically 100% made by hand. The company trained their employees in new the techniques while some things still require the masters touch.

It's about an hour, led by retired employees. At the end you can play any guitar in the showroom and everyone gets a Martin branded drink coaster made from the wood left when they cut the sound hole in a guitar top.
