Watching Lee have a loss of words while observing the case dedicated to the Military - That was a moment. Cheers Anderton's! From a U.S. Marine who's appreciated your content from around the world. Lee and Pete bring a calming atmosphere no matter where you're at or what you might having going on in your life at that moment. 🦅🌎⚓️ Semper Fi!
I think at our ages (I'm 53) we all know and connect with what happened, and respect those who went through it, serving personnel or not. I couldn't hold back a tear either. Compassion will always be top everything else.
My Dad served on a Destroyer Escort in the Atlantic during WWII.He’s gone now but he was a member of the Greatest Generation.After Pearl Harbor he enlisted and said it was his duty to his country for all America had given him.Gone but not forgotten.

New respect for Lee right there. They were truly The Greatest Generation. Wish he would have played it though. Think about taking a trip up to Nazareth this fall. Day and a half drive. Or 28 days walking.. Hmm maybe I should fly. Thanks for the video guys.
We all forget that a guitar is not just a piece of wood in a forgotten corner of our house but before everything it’s a piece of life that brings happiness good memories and full of joy to our hearts and souls…thanks Martin …thanks Lee for sharing and spreading love through this amazing video …peace from Morocco 🙏🏼
Yeah! BTW, I've heard that hash is really good over there. I would bet that the guitar would be in a corner around the house if I was into that too, honestly.
This is the greatest Andertons video I’ve ever seen. I love you guys. Thank you for sharing this. I cried too Lee when you played the D Day guitar. You’re a good man. Thank you Lee and Danish Pete. This is a special episode. Cheers.
Words cannot express my joy at seeing this. Intriuged intellectually, amused, bemused and emotionally floored. I LOVE IT!!! And I am a slide playing Scotsman, which is a bit odd too. Anyhoo - bless the guys and gals at C.F.Martin and Andertons. Love and respect xxxx
I loved the factory and museum. I know how you guys felt. And walking onto the production floor…the aroma of the wood! The scents of the tone woods being made into instruments was absolutely amazing. Every time I open the case to my OM-28V (here’s looking at you Pete!) I remember that day I spent at the factory. My Martins are lifetime guitars!
I’ll probably never get to Go to the museum, so Thanks for the tour guys. Martin has a legacy that Will never be equaled in Guitar building and Innovation…
Love this video! On my birthday this year in June, my wife gave me a Martin Guitar Co. Tour in Nazareth as a present. which is not too far from my home here in VA. It was amazing and inspiring to me, an armature luthier. I just obtained a Martin Guitar Kit and I am going to use the techniques I watched the pros use in the factory to try and do it justice. Thanks Pete and Lee...you are the best. Peace!
I play Taylor guitars, but killer interview and tour. Undeniable history with Martin guitars. I can empathize with taking your guitar to your lowest lows to bring you and everyone else around you up to a better place. The Normandy guitar should be replicated and resold. What an amazing history
Wonderful video boys! It is quite something to marvel at the history of it all. To stop and think that these guitars that we enjoy and lust after transcend the history of our world for almost 200 years and impacted the lives of so many who came before us. Quite extraordinary to feel a continuation of that legacy. And tip of the cap to you Lee, no doubt the handling of that D-Day guitar would bring a tear to any man. 👏🏻
That’s a wonderful museum. Brought my family there a few years ago and didn’t tour of the museum and the factory watching the workers make the guitars. Absolutely incredible. This is why Martin guitars are expensive. Because they are worth it.
That was an amazing video. And to Anderton's and all the great folks who help us find the right instrument, thank you. Anderton's and other stores have helped me find what I needed to express myself in my music. We are all in this joyous journey together, Peace
This was absolutely awesome, it's all stuff like this that shows why Martin are some of the absolute GOATs when it comes to acoustic guitars and I love it. I honestly loved seeing Kurt's acoustic, that one was absolutely gorgeous, man...
Absolutely magnificent. I had tears in my eyes well before the D-Day Guitar (tho that didn't help!). I own a super cheap Martin that I bought at the Cambridge Folk Festival for jamming round a campfire over 20 years ago (laminate neck) and sound-wise it holds its own beside my Koa Eastman that cost more than 10 times that. what a company. 🥰
3:40 Almost 200 years ago and they knew six on the side tuners and giving the lower strings more tension was the way to go! I've also seen a few stringed instruments from the 16th century have multi-scale fretboards. So much for being modern features.
Lee, I remember the 😊first video you posted a few months ago, and once again you (and Pete!!) have knocked it out of the park!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with all of us, y’all are the RUclips guitar ambassadors!!
Perry Baktel? {if the spelling is rite?} that small guitar w the crazy tuners; 👌 that, is the most majestic sounding guitar I ever heard ! balanced, (the way I'd prefer) and still ringing through Me, and through my phone yet. That ole' thing is a treasure/gem. If Martin & Co. worked on a re~issue of that; I would rearrange MY LIFE too own one! > thanks Guys' & Martin & Co. 🦜 for the Grand Tour 👑 ❤
If you ever get a chance to do the factory tour and museum tour, DO IT! It is well worth your time so informative of the history of the acoustic guitar!
Great video. This tour is now on my bucket list. Along with visiting Andertons 😀. Quick question and I get you guys probably stayed away from the question outta respect for Martin but at about 27 min into the video there was a strat and a Les Paul in the bottom of the case. They looked like holy grails as well. Did you guys get any background on their relevance to the Martin museum ?
Catgut: Catgut is a type of cord that is prepared from the natural fiber found in the walls of animal intestines. Catgut makers usually use sheep or goat intestines, but occasionally use the intestines of cattle, hogs, horses, mules, or donkeys. Despite the name, catgut is not made from cat intestines.
“Catgut” is from farm animals, usually sheep or goats, although cattle has also been used, and may be the origin of the term “catgut,” which is possibly a shortened form of “cattle gut.”
If you want to talk about “artisan, lunatic level” check out Ben Crowe on the Crimson Guitars channel. He does all that sort of thing with hand tools… Love this video! Keep up the good work - take me with you next time, ok? Ok…? Please…….? 😂
Awesome.... I like these factory tours and museum tours.. I'd like to see you guys do a visit and interview at the Warwick/Framus factory .. They are built where CF Martin came from... I also wish Lee would take a xanax and stop being a motor mouth interrupter...sometimes its a bit annoying
god i live in pa and i love traditional craftsmanship it would be so easy to get me to like martins, if they simply sounded like they weren't in another room and didn't have the most boring headstock in history
Pete dropping an Uranus joke among all that history is on brand and a man after my own heart.
Absolute brilliance! 🤣
Pete, the guy you wouldn't take home to meet your mum, but you would anyway :D Love him :D
That Perry Bechtel guitar sounds insane?! Even through the camera mic or whatever you've got going on. Amazing!
Was just about to comment the same thing. Seems to sound bigger than it has any right to.

God bless Captain Lee and the “Normandy 000-28” …you got me too there mate. Lest we forget 🙏🤘🎸
Me too. What a place.

Go to the museum, so

One day I will try and attempt that myself! Best of luck to you
You're a lucky man, she's a keeper :)
Wow Pete sure knows his Martins! 👏👏👏
If there is one person on this planet who does exactly what he is meant to do, it is Lee.
Seeing that section for the fallen men, Martin just gained a new fan. Thank you Martin from a British Vet, love it

What a video. I've cried and laughed multiple times. I can only hope I will manage to get to see this museum before I kick the bucket.
I'll repeat... wow what a video.
this was a joy...I got my first Martin when the pandemic hit and love it.
You guys have the best manufacture tours!
Wow, thanks to all for a WONDERFUL video.
we REALLY needed to have Pete sit down with a bunch of these and mic him up to play some of these bad boys and girls
Wow!! Thanks for taking us along ☮️❤️🎸
That was an amazing video. And to Anderton's and all the great folks who help us find the right instrument, thank you. Anderton's and other stores have helped me find what I needed to express myself in my music. We are all in this joyous journey together, Peace
This was absolutely awesome, it's all stuff like this that shows why Martin are some of the absolute GOATs when it comes to acoustic guitars and I love it. I honestly loved seeing Kurt's acoustic, that one was absolutely gorgeous, man...
Amazing history makes a guitar for me it’s the heartbeat
Nice to see “Grandpa” should have a photo of Mary Lou and Elliott playing it next to Kurt also. thanks for the great tour
Totally agree
That early steel string guitar.. i cant believe it came out of the case and sounded that clean… just bang on…
Simply stunned and filled with joy. Thank you, bravo.
Absolutely magnificent. I had tears in my eyes well before the D-Day Guitar (tho that didn't help!). I own a super cheap Martin that I bought at the Cambridge Folk Festival for jamming round a campfire over 20 years ago (laminate neck) and sound-wise it holds its own beside my Koa Eastman that cost more than 10 times that. what a company. 🥰
Superb you two - and my personal thanks to Martin for such an emotional journey (I'm with you two guys here...)
This Andertons Martin Museum video and a new firmware update for my Boss GT1000 has made my Friday evening perfect .
I've been through this factory tour twice, absolutely amazing. Well worth the trip to the middle of nowhere PA!
Truth!
Having lived in PA for a short period, I'm sad I never made the effort to go :(
Wonderful stuff! I've been itching to see more material from Andertons' visit to Martin. It's been more than worth the wait! 😎
This was my favorite Andertons guitar factory tour yet👍
3:40 Almost 200 years ago and they knew six on the side tuners and giving the lower strings more tension was the way to go! I've also seen a few stringed instruments from the 16th century have multi-scale fretboards. So much for being modern features.
Idk if it was an intentional joke, but it was funny to get the Martin guys to "give a round of applause to Taylor" at the end haha.

For a guitar that's a what, 96 year old guitar, it sounds insane. The sheer volume of the thing.
Kurt’s guitar…. shivers 😊
I was lucky enough to see his SkyStang in person last summer. A gorgeous guitar.
…not his guitar.
That was incredible.
Thanks for this episode guys. Really enjoyed this.
The D-day guitar literally gave me goosebumps
If you ever get a chance to do the factory tour and museum tour, DO IT! It is well worth your time so informative of the history of the acoustic guitar!
This is so special. They get it.
I can't help but love the last line. In the Martin museum saying, "Thanks to Taylor". 😂
Amazing display. I liked the D-18 the best when I did the tour.
What a great video, thanks to all involved >
A true privilege to play those instruments
Thank you for this.
That guitar at 17:30, WOW
Great video. This tour is now on my bucket list. Along with visiting Andertons 😀.

You guys breezed over the negative model. 🤷🏻♂️ I’d love to see that guitar come back. Buy it in a second. Great video. 👍
Lee got got by that soldier’s guitar. ❤
Thanks for this, for the love of guitar
9:49 really thought he was gonna do a like and subscribe bit
Hey Lee, look inside this 1837 guitar, the label says "win a Klon". ;-)
Lee, please tell us more about Victory Amplification...
Great one!
Amazing place…. I can never visit though, I’d just stay there in a corner somewhere, crying 😂
On my way now!
Thank you
Great video!
Wow awesome!
Kurt Russell is forbidden to enter this building.
Haha posted something similar before seeing your comment.
@@MrShoryuken1 What I never understood is why they used a rare guitar as a movie prop?
Amazing
omjm ftw !😜
32:08 I started playing guitar because of Nirvana - Christmas 1995 woke up to an electric and a crate 2x12. Haven’t looked back.
I can't travel due to health so I'll never get to see this place. I really enjoyed this. As for Lee...I get it bud, I get it.
Cool tour. You should have taken Ben with you as well.
there is a violin in bottom of the second case too. like the one literally right after they said it was the only one. LOL!

Do they still have the splinters of the one that Kurt Russell smashed up?
Love my C.F Martin D-16GT.
RIP KUTCO BANE
I truly believe they’re the only premium Qatar that is actually worth the money what an amazing history?
“Catgut” is from farm animals, usually sheep or goats, although cattle has also been used, and may be the origin of the term “catgut,” which is possibly a shortened form of “cattle gut.”
I imagine that no one else here ever interviewed Roy Rogers for an AM radio station. Dale, too. It was 1969. Someone slap me.

You're a good egg Lee!
Takes your breath away.
PETE = AWESOME BLOKE :)
200th like for kurt, immortal
The best part of this is watching the boys resist the urge to play Wonderwall
Can you please review some Australian Acoustic guitars sometime.
Pete is the coolest dad ever. Nike sneakers and pink jumper
Gotta love those Martin "Snowflay Inlakes" 😂 @13:14
Idk if anyone else here saw the video where mudah refuses to shake Boogies hand on twtr
Skipping over Elizabeth Cotton like that is a shame. One of the most underrated players of all time
“a round of applause for Taylor” inside a Martins museum is just.. lol🤣
21:46 the camera lens makes petes head giant and his feet tiny lol
Awesome.... I like these factory tours and museum tours.. I'd like to see you guys do a visit and interview at the Warwick/Framus factory ..
They are built where CF Martin came from...
I also wish Lee would take a xanax and stop being a motor mouth interrupter...sometimes its a bit annoying
Hey look the guitar owned by the guy who kinda knew three chords, wow!!
I kinda want a margin now. Damn you
Very disrespectful of Kurt Russel for having destroyed a Martin and not apologizing for it. No respect.
Lee is a textbook example of a person with ADD. He's seems so impatient when the guy is explaining the history😂
12:50 - we all ignoring the PRINCE mandolin??
god i live in pa and i love traditional craftsmanship it would be so easy to get me to like martins, if they simply sounded like they weren't in another room and didn't have the most boring headstock in history
riiiiiiiiiiiiiiight
you guys should have stopped by Ant Farm Vintage guitars/repair if yer in the Poconos area
How could you not talk about , display or play a 1937 D28 and D18, considered to be the most coveted, best sounding dreadnoughts of all time.
the amount of information that the guy guiding them does not know is astounding. he answered 90% of questions with “I don’t know”.
40:35, you can’t take Danish Pete anywhere. Hilarious.
