    Thumbnail's a bit misleading. I thought we'd see Clapton himself discussing the guitars like he did in the "Martin Eric Clapton "Crossroads" Signature Guitars: Presented by Guitar Center" video.

    A triple 0 Martin with a quintuple 0 price tag ;) Always nice to hear from George and his soothing voice.

    Gruhn says you can call Martin and they can tell what maker by serial number. Great piece of information. Thanks George, you are an expert.

    that is a beaut❣❣
    the snow flake fretboard inlays are much more appealing than the 45 style hexagonal inlays!

    What a beautiful guitar to look at it, and even better to play. One of the finest acoustic guitars ever produced. The fact that one of the greatest guitar players of any generation owned and played it, m makes it irreplaceable!

    Very beautiful guitar. Appreciate learning it's history. Am curious about what happened to Martin during WWII? How did they recover? Respectfully, it really would be nice to hear a little more of the actual instrument.
    Thanks for sharing.

    Don't wanna argue w/ George, but that's "aught" not "oh". As in triple aught 45. Not triple 0 45.
    Also, where is Clapton at ?
    My fave story about George is during the Hippie daze when you'd go to his house to look at guitars and he had snakes freely slithering around the house.

    • @codykleinsmith
      @codykleinsmith 6 лет назад +2

      Taistoisitcon Merci I mean that I agree that it can be seen as a misleading thumbnail, but to be fair the picture is in the damn video. It’s a Gruhn Guitars video for Christ sake, you should be able to make an educated guess that it’s going to be about the guitar itself, not Clapton playing live. There is still plenty of footage of Clapton playing an acoustic guitar on RUclips, so go and find a different video. Some people are actually interested in the history of the guitars shown.

    One thing I noticed right off rip... The bald guy with his giant rings on his fingers, banging and clacking the guitar. This will put small dimples in the instrument. I would NOT buy an instrument from this man, be it $100 guitar or a $100,000 guitar. If my business was handling delicate wood items, I would not be wearing hardened jewelry..
