Podcast 254: Fred Greene and Tim Teel of Martin Guitars

This week, we travel all the way to Nazareth, Pennsylvania to interview Fred Greene (Vice President of Product Management at Martin Guitars) and Tim Teel (Martin's Director of Instrument Design). The decisions these two individuals make have a huge impact on Martin's current (and future) guitar offerings. We chat about the behind-the-scenes process of making new Martin models, how Martin prepares for big unveilings like the NAMM Show, the influence guitar forums have on their output, the guitar-building community in general and much more. This insightful chat is easily one of our favorite conversations about the guitar industry we've had to date. This episode is brought to you by Carter Vintage , Martin Guitars and Gibson .
