Marty Lanham has been playing and working on musical instruments for over thirty years. In 1972, he moved his family from Northern California to Nashville to pursue his passion for banjos, guitars and music. Music City was a natural place to go. “I was looking for a place to live where music was as much a part of the culture as it was to my life. It was clear to me that playing banjos and guitars, fixing and building them, was what I wanted to do with my life.”

Marty's building some of the finest pre-War acoustics in the Tennessee area. The Nashvilles we've had through the shop have been rich and projective, and very easy on the hands.
