"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!"
We're paying tribute to Nirvana in this video, with a cover of their song, "All Apologies." Everyone on staff at TME is a diehard Nirvana fan; and the lyrical melody of "All Apologies" lays out ...

"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...

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 ...

    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.

    @MRRIllustrations 27 дней назад

    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?

    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).

    • @themusicemporium1177
      @themusicemporium1177 29 дней назад

      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.
