Commemorative Guitar Desktop & Mobile Backgrounds

C. F. Martin & co. has celebrated many milestones over the past two decades of making some of the world’s finest guitars. To commemorate a few of the major serial number milestones, we created specially adorned instruments which now reside in our museum. We hope you will enjoy these milestone guitar backgrounds as much as our visitors enjoy looking at the guitars in our museum.
