About Martin & Robert Goetzl
When Martin Guitar and Robert Goetzl come together to create instruments, the result is a collection of masterpieces that puts the power of music, art, and nature in your hands.
A resident of Lyndhurst, NJ, Robert Goetzl’s artwork can be seen throughout the Martin Guitar factory and museum. Paintings by Robert are featured on the tops of guitar models including the 00L Earth Guitar, DX 175th Anniversary, DX Woodstock 50th Anniversary, and the D-18 RG. His concept drawings have also been the basis for guitar designs including serial number two million - known as the "Watch Guitar."
Prior to Robert’s involvement at Martin Guitar, he worked as a freelance artist and illustrated children’s books.
