- What do Hank Williams, Kurt Cobain, Babe Ruth & Antarctica have in common? C.F. Martin & Co. has built some of the greatest acoustic guitars ever plucked, and the Martin Guitar Museum has more than a few of them. Jason showed us 10 (and then 11) of the rarest guitars they have on display.

Wow! What a priceless collection. The history of just the ones in this video have me awestruck
I own a Martin Graphite III. one of 3 in the country as far as I know… though that was rare. I stand corrected.
heck of a sales pitch right there - I'm super fortunate to live only 45 minutes away and have been on the tour at least 3 time and seen the museum another handful. Love my D-18!
Looking at the Staufer neck makes me want to build an electric guitar with one. A 6 inline neck design hundreds of years older than Fender? It would be cool.
Thanks for putting this together. Super interesting.
A friend got a similar guitar to the 1830s Martin in his shop that had a neck entirely veneered in ivory. It has that rosette style inlay trimming the entire top as well. I think it has a birdseye maple back and sides.
Beautiful guitar ❤ thank you sir for sharing the stories / history of the guitars. Explained it very well.👌💯
last one was brought up just to get a jab at Leo Fender: "this isn't pretty, but I guess it helped him out being heard ... I GUESS"
Oh who cares?
Whoa!!! These were friggin AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing!
Probably the most valuable Martin is one that was owned by Mark Twain. Not only is it one owner, but the original bill of sale with his name on it exists. In it's original coffin case The curator of the instrument which I believe is now in the Twain museum was asked by a reporter to put a value on it, and he was almost offended, saying "How can you possibly put a price on a piece of history?"
What a gorgeous, old instrument. I saw an old Stratovarius guitar at the Smithsonian in Washington DC. Close by was Eddie Van Halen's guitar. Not sure if there was a Martin, but there should be one! Martin IS the history of acoustic guitar in America, straight from the European masters. Next time I'm up in that part of Pennsylvania, I gotta see the Martin building.
This was great!
I have one of those size 1's, has been resurected
Always love the Martin videos! I'd almost give my soul for any one of those
That D-18 has a curse attached to it.
How much information does this guy know! What a wealth! Can you take a factory tour too?
This is an excellent video.
This was brilliant. I learned so much. Thank you
So cool! Thanks
I have quite a few Martins but none that cool. great video! thanks.
I am having a hard time knowing what strings to use. I have a 1958 018 folk style. I've played it daily for 52 years and lately the strings aren't sounding too good. I have a really nice voice and I teach daily. Can you recomend any strings that are not really heavy, but the strings I am currently using seem to be kind of buzzy. I am using Martin light bronze strings. I used to use silk steel, but they started being dead after a short time.
I know nothing about guitars, but really loved "Grandpa", and the whole video.
I own a Martin from 1830!
Keep these away from Kurt Russell! 🙏😅
Wow
I wanna go so baaad! I do own a 98 D-28V and I'm dyin' to shake these peoples hands! It is certainly on my bucket list!
Not shown, the photo of Kurt Russel with "BANNED" written across the top.
From my perspective,the biggest mistake Martin made was the hexagon inlay replacing the snowflake pattern.Anoter doozy was the deletion of the HJ28 from their catalogue.That guitar has a fantastic tone which puts a huge smile on the face of anyone who plays it.I know because I have one and my player friends can attest to that...............................................
Bring back the Degoni!
wow. not to mention finally finding out why Dreadnoughts are called Dreadnoughts~! lol that I JUST had a conversation about that very thing 2 nights ago.
Twice, when describing the 1942 D-45, the Martin Rep Presenter mistakenly referred to the D-45 as a
D-28? Just a slip-up, I reckon? It's kinda funny that he did it Twice? The first time, was when he described: "So, this guitar is No.80 out of 91 and it has all the great features that Pre-War D-28's have, like Adirondack Spruce Top with Pearl Inlay around the Top, Back and Sides"; and the 2nd time was when he said: "This features the Hexagon Inlay that Martin switched the D-28 to in late 1938, 'cause originally they used that Snowflake design, but since Jazz guitars were so popular, they switched to the more Art Deco Hexagon Inlay that they were using on their F-Series Archtops."
In both instances above, he meant to say "D-45", when he said D-28!
So, even the professional Historians at Martin can muddy the sound of the strings, per se!😁
I found a 1910 martin
Where is Mark Twain's Size 2-1/2 parlor guitar?
I want Grandpa!!!
You're not gonna play the d45 for us?
$225 for that Deluxe! I am going to die lol.
Likely $225,000 now! I don't think $22,500 would touch it!
They don't have Woody Guthrie's Martin?
What makes you think that?
His Grandson told me once that Woody's wife has it in the attic.
Older than the American Civil War by 30 years crazy
Love to have one someday.... I'm working on it ... lolololololol
It was originally intended for women. It later became popular with sensitive young boys who aren't man enough to play drums.
Is drums a musical instrument ? Thought it was a sport equipement ... 😊
@@brunolalanne9106 Where were You when the teacher, instructor discussed, taught about orchestra instruments including the percussion ?? !! 😞absent from class physically or mentally ??!!
@@newtonfirefly3584 Don't you think Alanduncan and I were just joking ?
@@brunolalanne9106 Just poor, nonsensical attempts with satire or 'jokes' 😞
It's a crime to build guitars that no one can buy because the are to expensive, and the one you can afford are no Martins but laminate junk, i think the best way to do it is to put all their guitars in a museum.
In my analogy, of price/value, you get what you pay for.
If "no one" could buy them, the company would have gone out of business a long time ago. Most of the innovations Martin came out with have trickled down to other, less expensive, guitars too. For example, I have a locally made dreadnought guitar which is pretty much a clone of a Martin. For my skill level on guitar (I mostly play bass, and do have a Martin B1), the difference in quality between the guitar I have and a Martin is negligible.
@@seanj3667 apparently Your level of skill with guitar matches the level of Your sound sensitivity, differentiation, discernment, quality, etc.
my level with skills nor expertise are not close to musicians, experts, but certainly my given and developed sensitivities are very high, keen, fine, somewhat refined within sound, audio, sight, video, scent, taste, touch. my first experience with a Martin [a 6 & 12 string] was in fall/autumn 1977 via a fellow, owner during a weekend retreat - he played then allowed me to use also with my rudimentary, basic skills which were entirely with a basic level classical guitar then [Aria 6C - mahogany [S&B]]; they cost ~$500 new then [owner told me]
There are many level with Martin guitars today as with Fender, Taylor, and other known quality manufactures [certainly many others too]
If You have the level of differentiation, discernment, sensitivities, etc. which are according to Your description, claim, then for You the guitar You have is sufficient, appropriate, suitable.
Good Luck
