Probably the coolest, yet most humble, dude out there. He just breathes life into any type of guitar you throw at him in his own unique style. Best YT channel by far.
Justin, you just took me back to Manning Homes projects in Sheffield, Alabama in the mid 60's!! I would go sit on the porch of my friends house and listen to her Grandpa pick and slide some delta blues on an old flat top Gibson! That was where I learned to love the blues! THANK YOU for bringing back those memories here! That is a gorgeous guitar and you did it righteous!!
A great sound Justin. Even though it appears to be a smaller guitar, it has a big sound. In your hands everything sounds good. You keep playing and I'll keep watching and listening 🎧.
I recently sold my Martin M-38, because, when I would play it the middle of the neck would fatigued my left hand and played it rarely. I took the money and purchased a Martin 000-17 in Whiskey Sunset. This guitar plays easily and down the neck and projects acutely clear sounds. Definitely Martin pedigree and worth the money.
Martin should make a Justin Johnson model if they haven't already. This man is obviously well versed in guitars and he sure can play the hell out of them!!!🎸🎸🎸
I bought one of these 3 years ago having tried loads of other Martins, Taylors , Gibsons and high end Yamahas etc. I couldn't find one that I really connected with until I came across a 00017 in a shop in Leeds England. I had never spent anything like what it cost on a guitar before but this one I thought was worth the outlay. i will never sell it, it is absolutely outstanding. I play fairly gentle fingerstyle(think poor mans James Taylor) I string it with 11 50 Martin Silk and Phosphor. It is feather light and as Justin said in the video it is super responsive. Loved the video, great playing and presentation.Thanks.
Just bought one in black smoke left handed as my first guitar. This video definitely made my mind up on which guitar to get. Hopefully one day I will be able to play 1/100th as well as you!
After watching clips of you on youtube for years I love that you've taken this direction with your channel and just geek out on guitars every so often. Keep up the good work, your content is great
Authentic is the best description ! Still love the sound of the " Cash " Martin ! And appreciate the explanation of what, and how it all works. Always to the end.
Watching this man's fingers is like watching a hypnotist's watch. Add the invitational, hypnotic tones the sounds of the strings command, and I'M IN A TRANCE! (and somehow, I NEVER WANT TO WAKE UP).
I bought a 00-17, 12 fret, in “black smoke” finish about 2 yrs ago when they were released. The tonal quality of the 12 fret is superior to the 14 but not as player friendly. It’s a CRAZY good guitar! In my top 5 in a collection of 45 excellent guitars! I play it every few days and it rarely sees its case! I have 6 Martins and this is second only to my 000-28h standard, sun burst. And......they are VERY affordable! One of only 5 in my collection that I bought new! Cheers, Justin. Great demo of a great guitar. Peace
Keep on rocking Mr JJ. As a non music oriented person seeing someone display this much raw skill makes me appreciate the difference in potential between each human being
chimney smoke, our last days outdoors like this before the first heavy snowfall. I got a bowl of beanless Texas chili waiting on me but it'll have to wait a bit. Gunny, my chocolate lab, snaps a twig under his paw giving me the signal he's ready for the soulful twang and resonance of my brand spankin new Martin.
Feeling your love to this instruments and the music you play, makes it so wonderfull watching your videos. Instead I have no idear playing a guitar, I learn so much about it.Thank you for the Blues.
So glad you love that guitar , so do I , just love that already played - in sound . I don`t know how , but Martin certainly made a beauty in that model , plus because you are playing it , no wonder it sounds like perfection personified , cheers from NZ .
I had a Martin as a kid. I was 14 i'm over the hill now. I used to play it and leave it around. mom got pissed off and smashed it on the drive way. Be for she passed away i said do you know what that guitar is worth today!!!!lol it was a lonely year for me at Christmas i got a Gibson. Never left it hanging around!!lol God love that lady:)
Hey Justin, EZMUDDER's brother here... Thank you so much for sharing this amazing Martin guitar!! I haven't been able to put it down. I absolutely love it and it's sound! Thank you again and keep on jamming!!
I played one of these last year in the shop and it has been haunting me ever since. Awesome guitar. Great sound, great feel. I knew very quickly that I had better put it down and walk away or it would be coming home with me and I would be sleeping on the couch
I love every video of yours where you are so excited to show us your new collection of guitars. We're excited to have new videos of yours playing with these new guitars! Love it justin. Always here to support!
Thanks man,I love the 00 Martin guitars,classic hard design,really picked one up for 400 years ago,must be 1000 now.look forward to your future releases on that......
I want one! I've got a Martin Dreadnought that sounds pretty good but a little too soft for fingerstyle. When Justin starts in with these old style blues it really gets me groovin', but when he breaks out the slide it just transports me back in time. Lovin' it.👍👍
Get one dude! These are GEMS ! They’re just like the Collings Waterloo series but a bit cheaper - in fact very affordable for a Martin with a dovetail. I own one and it’s one of the best guitars I’ve had, out of hundreds - no joke - I’m 62 and spent a life in music. Peace
@@cherrypickerguitars thanks for the input, I'll be 62 in May, been hacking away since I was 15 and I'm still learning 😁. I just have to get the wife to sign off on it, she doesn't understand why I would possibly 'need' another guitar. Keep on pickin' brother.
@@roadhawg59 Cool - another 50’s model ! You won’t regret buying that guitar. It’ll make you a better player, too (also, I’ve told sooo many “guitar lies” to my wife!) Peacd
I've been thinking about getting this guitar the last few days and now watching my favorite guitarist on CZcams playing this Martin I'm definitely sold on it now;)
Probably the coolest, yet most humble, dude out there. He just breathes life into any type of guitar you throw at him in his own unique style. Best YT channel by far.
In his own style? What like 150 year old Mississippi blues? Lol.
Lovin me some Election Day Justin Johnson. Meanest slide in the South
Id love to see your top 10 Guitars maybe half acoustic & half electric guitar!! Or something like that love your Channel!
Please! Thatd be awesome!

@Rocketman177 or just make the 000-17 Whiskey Sunset the 'Justin Johnson" model....after he shredded the blues on that guitar!

wish I could find one of these in the UK now
Was it Northern Acoustics ? I live in Leeds. A small shop in a circular domed building?
I never ceased to be amazed by your playing.
I just bought this guitar! It’s awesome with so many musical possibilities. Thanks Justin! I look forward to when I can play at your level.
this guitar is beautiful
It is but ugly paint.
What a great escape from this insane world. Laid back blues. A little smoke. A little Jack. NIce.
Just bought one in black smoke left handed as my first guitar. This video definitely made my mind up on which guitar to get. Hopefully one day I will be able to play 1/100th as well as you!
Best channel on yt right now, block out the madness in the world right now. Kick back with some blues and fire from a shot glass into the belly🔥🥃🌅🤘🏻
That is my new favorite paint style for an acoustic.
Amazing!
I loved the unplugged part, amazing sound from a ‘nothing fancy’ guitar. This is like a afternoon delight!
Cant get enough of your playing what delta blues ought to sound like awesome !!!
Whiskey Sunset, what a name for a beauty of an instrument 👌
Watching your videos and listening to your music makes me feel cozy. Thanks man!
Sounds great Justin I can just imagine setting in the Delta and someone setting on a porch pickin this song thanks 🎸🎼

You need to be the next president of Martin Guitars. You understand keeping the past alive.

Cheers, Justin. Great demo of a great guitar.
Peace
You can play music on anything ironing boards,
Skateboards, shovels, cigar box, And it all sounds so good. 🎸🔥
Dry was a nice full sound. Love the drag of the slide on the strings.
And of course beautiful guitar I think 🖤🖤🖤
thats a clean sounding pick up. does that martin justice
Love it. Owned Martin's. Nice, J. Nashville and Gruhn. Awesome.❤🇮🇪🍀
Thank you for every minute of this amazing video. I can listen all day
Love how thin the finish is on these instruments. I think it gives them a sound that's somewhat unique among new acoustics.
Beautiful Justin and wish you a nice week💖 Greetings Elisabeth.
Keep on rocking Mr JJ. As a non music oriented person seeing someone display this much raw skill makes me appreciate the difference in potential between each human being
Super great choice, I can’t wait to hear more videos on this guitar.
What a beauty!!
chimney smoke, our last days outdoors like this before the first heavy snowfall. I got a bowl of beanless Texas chili waiting on me but it'll have to wait a bit. Gunny, my chocolate lab, snaps a twig under his paw giving me the signal he's ready for the soulful twang and resonance of my brand spankin new Martin.
Great authentic playing, great video
I’d say that purchase will keep you happy for years to come. Sounds great!! Deep and rich
I love the leg lamp, I'm a Clevelander.
Good day for music
A friend of mine has on....he loves it....its a beauty

Martin has always been my dream guitar!
I played one of these last year in the shop and it has been haunting me ever since. Awesome guitar. Great sound, great feel. I knew very quickly that I had better put it down and walk away or it would be coming home with me and I would be sleeping on the couch
Amazing how you can make it look so easy 😊
When i think of who i wish i could sound like ...justin does everything i dig as a guitarist

I thought I needed the 000-18, but considering for $2k, you can get the electronics too, this isn't bad at all.
