If a supplier only accepts methods you cannot reverse and refuses card or escrow, that is the number one scam signal. Walk away or use escrow.
The bank account name must match the registered company name. If it does not, stop.

About
C.F. Martin and Company is an American acoustic guitar manufacturer headquartered in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA. Founded in 1833 by Christian Frederick Martin Sr., Martin is the oldest guitar manufacturer in the United States and the inventor of the Dreadnought body shape (1916), which became the world standard for steel-string acoustic guitars. Martin produces guitars across the Standard Series (D-28, HD-28, D-35, OM-21, 000-28), the Modern Deluxe series, the Road series, the X series, and custom and limited-edition instruments. Every guitar in the Standard Series is built by hand in Nazareth using solid tonewoods including Sitka spruce tops and East Indian rosewood, mahogany, or koa back-and-sides. Martin holds FSC certification and operates a responsible-sourcing program for all tonewoods. The company distributes in over 100 countries through a curated network of authorised dealers, national distributors, and selected premium music retailers. Wholesale partnerships provide access to the full catalogue including limited runs and vintage-spec reissues, with dealer training support and authorised repair certification programs.
