Great job. Great guitar. I REALLY WISH you would have Brandon do all the Flat Top Fridays. I can tell he has a deep appreciation of the purity of acoustic guitars.
I was lucky enough to be standing in the store when they recorded this, and got to meet Norm, Brandon, and Jen - they are super cool people and just as they appear in the videos. I walked over and played this guitar when they were done with the video, and it sounded WAY better than it does in this video so if you are considering a 12 then this is really worth checking out. Norm actually listened to me play another guitar I was considering and guided me toward a Guild hollowbody electric that I wouldn't have considered otherwise - I ended up buying it and am really excited. I took an extra day on my trip to LA just to be able to go to the store and would encourage anyone else traveling there to do the same - an experience I will never forget!
Brandon is truly amazing!! His acoustic skills are masterful!! He should do all flattop Fridays!!Jack could do tele Tuesday, Nick do wacky or ES Wednesday, bass player for Thursday, Brandon on Friday and Micheal on Saturday!!! Get them all in!!!
I love how Brandon Soriano makes fun of himself. As if he really couldn't care less whether a guitar is in tune. I would not expect the guy who brings the spec check to be so nonchalant.
@@jimbucket2996 to each his own. My Taylor is incredible low action and never comes out of tune. My birthday is in the serial number. I ordered it from Taylor after not being able to find a Martin 12 in Toronto. 22 years old and is solid. A long as you play and appreciate it. It's been a loyal friend.
The sooner you realize that a Taylor sounds dead the better off you will be. this is a fact, not an opinion. Find me a recording done with a Taylor... Overpriced American garbage. Got it? No? You're in denial.
Such a beautiful 12 string..a Jumbo at that...bold ,loud clear and it doesn't quite have that jingle jangle sound. I believe that a really well built 12 string SHOULD NOT sound tiny chimy..it should sound like a very loud 6 string. It takes a lot of finesse to play a 12 string to bring out its character..harmonics, the bass notes, the action can be tough..but it should feel comfortable in your hands.Nice demonstration. Greatly appreciated.
I have been a subscriber, I wish I could at least come by and visit. I will with my beautiful Irish/Welsh wife of 22 years. This year going East, maybe next year to make a stop before a Monterrey/PG stop
Hey Brandon you know what you talkin about I got that Gibson es 125 and just like you said it plays great...... You definitely did a good packing job for sure....... I'd like to y'all very much for the wonderful guitar..... I have an unboxing video premiering in a couple hours if you want to check it out .. I'll be back to buy more..... Rocking Hillbilly
Hey Lady(Jen) you’ve got the guitar I need! I have the bluest eyes (2) can I get a discount? JK nice playing Brandon. Nobody knows what it’s like to be the Lucky man to play that tone Daddy.
I believe at that time Guild stopped making US made acoustics, famously their jumbo 12-strings - So Martin thought - let's fill the gap and produce a Guild sized jumbo!
I like things simple I never had a twelve string I find playing guitar is way easier than changing the strings on a twelve excredin head ache number 714 I don’t like the twang i never like 12 I play classical nylon 6 anyway ha ha my fingers run from that neck two fingers running.
I wish I had 10% of Brandon’s talent and 100% of his hands. The young man has serious skills
Great job. Great guitar. I REALLY WISH you would have Brandon do all the Flat Top Fridays. I can tell he has a deep appreciation of the purity of acoustic guitars.
💯
I agree that Brandon is outstanding with the acoustics. But... Jack also does a great job with acoustics! 😊
I wish Brandon would play Guitar of the Day every night. I love Lemmo, but Brandon is just a pleasure to listen to. His repertoire is fantastic.
Wow. Brandon is so good. What a joy just to watch those hands.
Brandon is the best when it comes to flat tops. And that guitar sound AWESOME!
Beautiful Sound, Beautiful Martin !
Sound so clear !
Thanks for playing !
Well done, sir, and what a fantastic sound!
My fav episode with Brandon so far. He’s absolutely killing it with this cool vibe, and playing behind blue eyes !!

OMG, a dream guitar. Sounds as good as it looks. Puts my Taylor 12 to shame.
A lot of imports put Taylor to shame.

No?

Very nice Brandon!

Is it tuned to A 440 ( sounds like it ? ) How does the neck look?. Would a neck reset be needed?
The case is in good shape . It's pretty extraordinary
Is it the same size as the J12-16rgt? I have one of those and I love it.
I have been a subscriber, I wish I could at least come by and visit. I will with my beautiful Irish/Welsh wife of 22 years. This year going East, maybe next year to make a stop before a Monterrey/PG stop
Lovely warm hah...Monics. Martin quality.
Wow.

Seems a bit more crisp than my Taylor 855, which I kind of expected, just kinda wonder how it compares to to a Guild F-512.
5000 US - may be a high price for this kinda model!
That thing is the business,
Brandon puts a smile on my face. Amazing player and person.
Is this guitar sold? I would like a price.
How much for the guitar? 5 grand?
♥
Better to have a EQ pedal before going into the amp to tame that 220 hrz frequency!...otherwise that pickup seems to sound pretty good!...
Can someone tell me what's the intro song played ? Amazing guitar
some cover of Boston - more than a feeling ?
Led Zep. Over the Hills and Far Away
Brandon A1
is a maj7 chord on a 12 string overkill?? nooo its perfection...
👌

A sound explosion, big big sound. Big money too I assume....

👍✌❤
You can tune a guitar.. but don’t tuna fish..❤️
Brand on the headstock...
try to re-string a 12 str it's an all day sucker !
This is no BS

Almost agnesi
Don't forget that Norm is buying guitars--his warehouse horde is getting low!!
Nice playing dude!
