Martin guitars are handmade instruments, which historically were made by artisans who apprenticed for years to learn their trade. They are now largely manufactured on an assembly line monitored and assisted by workers, computers, and lasers, which have lowered manufacturing costs, improved production speed, and permitted the company to compete with foreign manufacturers, which have allowed the company to survive and thrive into the 21st century.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Martin Guitars|url=https://www.martinguitar.com/about/|website=Martin Guitar|publisher=Martin Guitar|access-date=17 April 2016|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409125031/https://www.martinguitar.com/about/|archive-date=9 April 2016}}</ref>
