Meet the Maker

Hi I am Graeme Martin and I build Sexsmith Guitars.
I was born in Australia and there I lived until I was 22 when I left for Canada with a friend to ski., during my 1 1⁄2 year stay I meet my girlfriend Trish.  We returned to Australia and planned to settle there, however immigration had different ideas. So we headed back to Canada after around two years, with the intention of staying for only 3 months or so, that has since turned into nearly 4 years.
It was just before leaving Australia that I decided to build my first acoustic. I had played guitar since I was 12 and was at a stage where I was really into acoustic music, so I started learning what makes a good guitar with the intention of being a buyer. Learning about acoustic guitars and their construction gave me the idea to build one myself, being that I'm pretty handy with the tools, so after much research I gave it a go. 6 months and 2 continents later it was finished.  It was some time during or just after that I decided I would like to build more, but of my own design. So I began the long and tedious process that provided me with my first fastback and shortly after I also designed and built the Fatboy. I also have plans to develop and build a larger body version of the Fastback.
You may be wondering where the name comes from, as you know the name Martin, is already being used in the guitar world, so I went back a generation and took my Grandmothers family name.
In my spare time I play guitar in a local band, check us out at....
