    That may be the most beautiful acoustic guitar I've ever seen. Michael's playing is just insane as usual.

    What an incredible version of I'm Only Sleeping. This was a seriously cool guitar

      @bagsbunny Před 2 lety +3

      Such an under- rated song. You can get any number of Fabs fans having a drink , a smoke and a chatter, and it rarely gets mentioned. But when it IS brought up, everyone nods in agreement- it’s truly gorgeous.

    Great performance- and most people say you can’t/shouldn’t plug an acoustic guitar into an electric guitar amp but Lemmo makes it sound great. Loved the effects too. I’d love him to share his settings on that. Sure the acoustic purists will gripe about it not all being acoustic but folks are gonna complain about something. Great job.

    He's wrong on one major point
    Build quality has NOTHING to do with series.
    At Martin, the build quality is the same from least expensive to most expensive.
    The difference in 41, 42,:and 45 series is "bling" and other inlays like the headstock.
    That highly figured Koa is beautiful!!

    Don't get me wrong I like Michael but maybe you should let Brandon play this one The 1st song was nice but I don't think you need to be running that guitar through pedals Which Michael likes to do I think you should let this guitar speak for itself Again I'm not questioning Michael's talent I'm just saying you should let the guitar breathe

    I have a D-42K from this era also. 1999 or 2000 can't remember. The D-42 Koa has a Koa top back and sides, but mine is spruce like the one above so is referred to as D-42K. I typically absolutely love Lemmo's style but how the heck can anyone discern Koa over cardboard or any other wood if it's played with so much altered amplification. A 23 year old Martin Dreadnought isn't really supposed to sound like an Ovation. Also mine does not have the pick up in it. Was this added afterwards or was it in the original Spec? Sorry bud but how bout some finger picking unamplified or at least without all the effects next time.

    great guitar ,had to turn off show as soon as pickup when on. With a decent pick up one could make anything sound good. What a waste of wood ! Koa so beautiful. I am sure Martin's corporate said "This will get you into the young market ". Horrible ,if someone bought this for me,I would sell it or trade for a real 18 or 28 .
