"All Apologies" by Nirvana | Martin D-18 Authentic 1937 VTS
It was a bona fide thrill to play the 1953 D-18 formerly owned by Kurt Cobain (and Elliott Smith) on a recent trip to the C.F. Martin factory. That '53 is a great-sounding guitar, and a reminder that a D-18 has no tonal limitations (we're as guilty as anyone as thinking of them only as "bluegrass" or "flat picking" guitars). The woodiness, warmth, clarity, and punch imparted by a great D-18 are the elements of what we all think of when we think, "that's how an acoustic guitar is supposed to sound!"

"After the Goldrush" by Neil Young | Martin D-41 & Martin D-42
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
When we have a moment around the shop to play a pearl-trimmed @martinguitar dreadnought, we seem to instinctively launch into a Neil Young song (nothing wrong with that!). "After the Goldrush" has such a beautiful, pure melody, which seems perfectly suited to the sweetness offered by the classic Martin dreadnoughts. In this video, TME staffers Andy Cambria (playing a D-41) and Andrew Stern (pla...

"When You Wish Upon a Star" | Martin 000-18 (1943) | The Music Emporium
Просмотров 8352 месяца назад
This 1943 Martin 000-18 is currently the envy of everyone on staff at TME. It is gorgeously full-sounding and incredibly powerful for a small-bodied guitar, with the coveted immediacy of response demanded by vintage guitar purists. Each note that rings out of this guitar seems at once warm, clear, and buttery soft. It's a fingerstyle player's dream guitar for its recording voice; but playing it...

Просмотров 2,3 тыс.2 месяца назад
This 1928 Martin 00-18 has been in TME's orbit for many years: it was owned by a regular customer, and we always remembered it as one of the lightest pre-war Martin flattops we've ever encountered. (It's just a hair under three pounds!) It's a beautifully preserved guitar, made during a short stretch of time when Martin was using a rectangular bridge before transitioning the the familiar "belly...

1956 Fender Esquire, Blonde # 12230 | The Music Emporium

This 1956 Fender Esquire was recently acquired from the family of its original owner, and stands as one of the cleaner 50s Fenders we've had come through the shop to date. With its Blonde finish, chunky Soft V Maple neck, and 5-hole single ply white pickguard, it represents the prototypical Version 2 Esquire following the historic "Blackguard" era from 1950-1954. This particular Esquire spent t...

No two are the same. Each has its own unique life history. Some have graced festival stages, been worked hard, recorded, their voices imprinted on our memories. Others have been squirreled away, so much potential energy waiting years to be heard. Most of the time, the life journey falls somewhere in between. This F-5, approved and signed by Lloyd Loar on January 12, 1923, remains crack free, wi...

Until May 2024, this guitar spent its entire life in California. It was originally special ordered by a gentleman named Ulysses Apffel, who once co-managed the historic Southern California Music Company with his older brother John Apffel as far back as the early 1940s. "Uly", as he's referred to in the original Gibson ledgers, seemed to have owned the guitar only a few years until his death in ...

Beautiful sound! I have a Bart Reiter but it doesn't sound that sweet. What are those STRINGS, please?
Hey RUclips algorythm. This is what I´m looking for. Thanks.
Great guitar and player, disgraced by a silly mask.
Its amazing how a vintage 59 Les Paul ..a good one sounds so much better than most 59 custom shop reissues..
Beautiful tone, beautiful playing....
What a beautiful tone !
Lovely
Beautiful playin
Wow. I really enjoyed this. I own a Gibson Nick Lucas 12 fret Brazilian.
I did some work at the Santa Cruz shop when they moved to Harvey west. Eric poulsen shaped the necks back then. He build me an my wife a guitar in that shoo for our wedding.
The Martin and the Borges sound best to my ears. Fun video!
Thanks!
Good heavens...Yes
Absolutely beautiful D18. I would've gladly bought one if i knew an ambertone D18 existed.
What is authentic when each sound from these models only differ in subtle ways y considering strings used ( new or broken in);y copied construction from the originals were not really that sounding great relatively speaking 😢… but i need my last guitar a regular D18 or D35🎉 maybe this coming year…iam old😂btw…imo
@Rubinsky27 I love your playing in this. What song is that?
That middle position is butter!
Fine playing! Great sounding mandolin with a deep tone.
Just think if they had sold in the 60's for what they do now the musicians who made the music couldn't have gotten them and they wouldn't be worth what they are now. Shame the today's musicians who are like the ones who made them what they are will probably never have one.
Elliot is awesome helped me alot!! nice vid!
Glad it helped!
@themusicemporium1177 no he helped me on the phone alot..cheers from nyc
tough sluggin on this guitar. Not really made for this kind of music. It's still pretty nice.
Nothing like an old 59 to get your creative juices flowing. Too bad that they're six and sometimes seven figures to acquire them.
Both wonderful, but I would go with the FF
What great poetry creation: "September I remember, a love once new has now grown old". I have to remember september eleven 2001 with congratulations to all my fellows for this homage.
Standard 🎉
Andrew and Andy, Really enjoyed your playing; lovely arrangement, very well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My 2 cents might be a tad simplistic, but I find A style mandolins have more 'chime' - or ring to them, whereas the F style mandos are more punchy, with less 'sustain', for want of a better word. I think that's why A style (to me) sound better for Celtic (Irish) tunes, and F style is better for Bluegrass (American) tunes. I'm Aussie btw, so hearing both from the outside. Anyone else hear that or is it just me and my imagination?
it's sound so nature.mid range warm and chunky❤
this song goes so hard!!!!
powers....definitely .....last
Beautiful arrangement and playing - sounds great!
Thanks for listening
Just wow! Your sound demos are undoubtedly the best around. That was fantastic 🙌
The headstock on Carolyn's guitar looks like that of a Euphonon. This would be the first time I have seen a Maurer with that style. Maybe it is a hybrid of the two, or a one-off?
Both are beautiful guitars ! Best of the best ! I prefer the D-42 snowflake inlays.
wow what tone. 4:28
D-41 guy here...
The D-41 has a satin finish on the neck and the 42 has a full lacquer finish. Might not mean much to some folks but I much prefer the 42 for that reason (along with the beautiful vintage style inlays).
Good point! I suppose we were operating under the assumption that the gloss neck really doesn't affect tone. But you're certainly right that a lot of people would find a -42 more desirable for that reason.
Hermoso sonido el de esta guitarra, muy lindo instrumento y buena demostración para conocerlo
P-90 sounds can remind me of a good PAF Humbucker. There's a bit more clarity and sting than let's say Gibson's 57 Classic Humbuckers, but more noise too.
Awesome Duke........as always. Next time The Blob please....
!ove this guitar....needs to be mine! Love the passion playing here!
Awesome organization
Lovely playing ❤
Less is soooo much more👍
Yeah, the ff pups are more to my liking. Lottery list updated.
Cool instrument - why are mandos always so buzzy?
Always love a mellow player over the flashy shredding. Such a nice dynamic🤘🏼
did this banjo sell already ?
Yes, it did. We have an 11" Walnut Dobson in stock.
@@themusicemporium1177 Thanks but not interested in the 11 inch saw the video on the 12 was all said it was headed to you no doubt it was gone after the video Killer tone
Pretty sure that color top was created by God himself. Absolutely stunning.🤘🏼
Lawrence is a builder of fine wood music makers!
Loved it, thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
Fantastic pickin
