    Huss and Dalton make the worlds best guitars and they make me proud to be from Virginia. I got to hang out with Kim and play the Jefferson Huss and Dalton. This guitar was made from a Tulip Poplar that was planted by Thomas Jefferson!
    Their guitars sound amazing and I hope to own one again soon!

    Absolutely beautiful guitars. Thanks for the video amigo. I can't afford a 20K guitar but I sure love seeing and hearing them. Great piece of history that one built from Jefferson's tree. A guitar is a perfect thing to do with that wood. My best acoustic is a Taylor GC8e. It's a perfect guitar for me. Balance, beauty, playability for around $2500. I'm not a wealthy guy so it's probably the only acoustic of that caliber I'll own. That was a beautiful electric too but I'll keep my Les Paul Traditional. Thanks again for the video amigo. Rock on.

    Both of those guitars sound amazing as does your playing. Artisan Guitars in Franklin, TN is a Huss & Dalton dealer and they have one of the Jefferson guitars. It looks stunning in person, but I didn’t dare ask them to take it out of the display case. At least now I know that they sound as good as they look. I’m looking for a small bodied acoustic similar to those, and I think I’ve decided to get a Waterloo WL-14X Scissortail.

    Hi Jeremy,
    Great video. I loved the way you played that beautiful Jefferson guitar. It did sound awesome. I love my DM and H&D guitars in general, but I can relate to your story about peer pressure about dreadnaught guitars. I don't want to repeat the old story about Doc Watson, because I'm sure somebody already put it in in the comments somewhere down the line. But I was there backstage when Doc beat the crap out of a big biker dude for asking him to autograph his Martin Double OO. Axle Rose's got nothing on ole' Doc when he'd gotten a bee up his bonnet, 20/20 vison not withstanding.

    Guitars that cost thousands of dollars are just a gimmick!

      Occasionally true but overall not true.

      @@JeremySheppard So is a 20,000 dollar guitar 19 times better than a 1,000 dollar guitar? A 10,000 twice as good as a 5,000? Once you get to a certain point it's not better, it's just a gimmick. They still can go out of tune, warp, crack or get a flat fret. I've played 800 ones that were just as good as 3,000 ones. I've played really good 3,000 ones that were better than 5,000 ones. I really think after about 3,000 dollars it's just bullshit.

      This one is constructed from a tree planted by Jefferson so it doesn't play by the same rules.
      But boutique guitars are made with the best materials and the best construction techniques, which does make them worth the thousands of dollars they're asking for.
      In acoustic guitars generally speaking, the best materials max out around $2000. That being, rosewood back inside, spruce top, dovetail joint neck, lacquer finish. Above $2,000 or so, they just get prettier or more rare materials.

    That sound is NOT WORTH $20,000

      The sound for sure, but the provence. Wood from a founding fathers property and the limited nature of the instrument.

    Rubbish, $20 000 is far too much for an acoustic guitar. Don't think they will sell too many at that price. The difference in sound and playability between a $2 000 guitar and a $20 000 guitar is not that discernable. Sorry to be negative, but not many players are good enough to know the difference. perhaps, not even you!!
    Stop being snobbish, a good player can sound good on a cheap guitar but a bad player will never sound good on a $20 000 instrument. 60 years of experience talking here!!
