      This is the coolest “common” flattop in a while. Sounds sooo good. I’m guessing near 6 figures good.

      1930's Martins are amazing. I once played a 1934 OM-28 that I would've bought that day if I had $30,000 to spare

    @billgelder 6 лет назад +14

    Thank you Mark. Bubbles is so happy right now. I don't think he will be able to sleep tonight. There is a special place in heaven for people like you. Oh and he really liked the guitar.

    I first saw these GOTD videos about a year ago, so I haven't been watching since the beginning, but having been in love with vintage American made guitars for over 50 years now, I HAD to look through your channel to watch them all, over time. 500 is an amazing milestone. I've never waited on purpose to watch any live video, ever...but I'll see you tomorrow at 8:00pm, Eastern time.

  • @ziggylayneable
    @ziggylayneable 5 лет назад

    I've been there since the beginning Mark and Jen. I go back and watch these things over just so I can hear you play the songs over again. Flat top Fridays are always my favorite. I prefer my acoustics over all my Electrics. I've always been a finger picker, Bluegrass lover at heart.

    In the hospital recovering from a stroke and this video just makes me want to go home and play my guitar more than ever. I've been in here for a week and it feels like it's been a year. It'd make my weekend if you could do some Big Star on Saturday. O My Soul, September Gurls, Ballad of El Goodo, anything!

    @daves.2111 6 лет назад +1

    Hey Jen, stellar camera work on song #1. Moving through the guitars, in & out of focus, gave a nice nuance to the video. It set a perfect mood to such a beautiful song on such an exquisite guitar. Good job!🎥
    Oh yeah, and Mark plays pretty ok too. 😜
