Guitar of the Day: 1934 Martin 000-18 | Guest Host: Todd Wisenbaker

[@vedder10]

The Martin episodes are always my favorites. They make such fantastic guitars.

[@deanchristensen3393]

It's hard to believe that guitar is 85 years old .... and sounds amazing !

[@wesleyalan9179]

Yeah,crazy

[@JourneymanActor]

A testament to their quality; that is an 85 year old guitar that looks slightly used. 👍

[@gloombastic]

I just close my eyes and listen. Beautiful.

[@localguy8]

Todd I waited all week for flat top fridays n I didn’t wait in vain thank you always wanted to know how a 1934 Martin would sound. Thank you you did it justice 👍🏻👍🏻🙏

[@jayadams681]

That guitar has been loved by its owner. Beautiful.

[@jasonbrooks633]

I like Lemmo and Todd. They have a good vibe going on and compliment one another well.

[@warmonger9100]

That what an acoustic guitar should sound like. Another great flat top Friday.

[@cruisepix]

Fun strummin' and quick pickin'! Love it!
I lit up from Fort Liquordale
I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didn't get to sleep that night
Till the morning came around

[@cqblecqb]

I was like..."hey, i know that tune"

[@Smagledorf]

Love seeing a Martin on these Flat Top Fridays! Beautiful playing from a beautiful instrument Todd! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@johnfleshman9971]

Thanks Todd I always love your Grateful Dead sounds

[@MilitaryAIWorks100]

Beautiful guitar and beautiful playing. There really is something special about just basic playing on such a perfect instrument.

[@beercheersrccrawlers]

Guitar of the day has been kicking ass lately! Good vibes. Keep it going!

[@vmat1000]

All i ever wanted was the used D-15 from the '70s at Starving Musician, '96. $800 i didn't have.
THIS guitar is mind bending. Great work Todd !

[@VincentVader]

Excellent Friend of the Devil picking! One of my favorites. It sounds like more than I can afford.

[@martinandersson5833]

What a great sound, what a beautiful guitar. The playing was solid the hat awesome. Good job Todd!👍👏

[@adamswanson6449]

We need more Grateful Dead, give Todd the Friday shows.

[@Hillcapper1]

Finally some good major scale flat picking on a Martin. Love it!

[@maddmatt55]

Tod that was beautiful - giving voice to a lovely old lady who’s ‘seen’ this sad old world change out of all recognition! Love the vintage Martins - I’m hoping to get a modern one soon! Keep up the good work. God Bless you and all of the Norm’s family.

[@rickjason215]

Considering I’m listening on an IPad and UA-cam highly compressed the audio, it sounded great. Todd is a wonderful acoustic player.

[@TheRockyhockey007]

well done Todd , a beautiful guitar with a fantastic sound , it rings and chimes and booms like bells in a barrel , just huge and the thing looks brand new , unbelievable , almost 100 years old and it's nicer than my 25 year old guitars. Thanks guys

[@SteveReevesvlogs]

Beautiful Guitar. Sounded really good Todd. I like the samples of sound dispensed.

[@BaktaBak3]

Agree....the 1.75 inch nut is a must for me also. I also like the modified V neck . That Martin is in wonderful condition for how old it is. Been playing a 00-18V for a few years now and enjoy it a lot.

[@poppasteve2976]

He's a-pickin',
And I'm a-grinnin'!
Magnificent all the way around!

[@evanschroeder8411]

Sounds so good, loved that first song

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

85years old, amazing!! If only I had the money for that baby.

[@jeffball6656]

Great playing. And that guitar sounds amazing! The time is
Fantastic!

[@chessdude67]

Very nice playing, Todd!! Thank you. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@toddflowers8052]

I can't get over the condition of that thing ! Great job Todd and thank you Jen !

[@guitarocd9984]

That's awesome.

[@waybackplayback1347]

I see you capitalized your brand. Good for you. UA-cam needs cowboys who ride for free.

[@guitarocd9984]

Well if you go back there's a reason.

[@guitarocd9984]

Go back to the Craig Ross video. Read my comment

[@waybackplayback1347]

@@guitarocd9984 hey dude, we're copacetic. Not being a smartass. Tell me the story.

[@guitarocd9984]

Go back and read it.

[@cainesdds]

This was great Todd. Very nice segment

[@85hubie]

Man, can Todd play well! What a beautiful tone on that '34 Martin!

[@NoCantsAllowed]

Beautiful sounding guitar!

[@vskye1]

Beautiful guitar!

[@skeetschuler1859]

Great playing on a great Martin. Thanks

[@jimalice1]

What gauge and brand of string please?

[@darrinlawton2748]

In a word.......superb.

[@billtaylor4897]

Todd, Doc would be proud... Side note: Just saw John Butler. See if The Edibles At Night can get him to stop-in. It wouldn't suck... :) Thanks

[@woodysprott5790]

I see a lot of comments re Grateful Dead. I thought that was Arkansas Traveler. Amazing how the timber of that guitar comes over UA-cam!👍

[@LutherRayable]

Solid nod to the Martin guitar company. What great sounding box at 85!!!

[@IndigoJo]

So, as that has the OM scale, it would be an OM-18 if it were made today?

[@-Atmos1]

nice playing ,,, nice sounding guitar.

[@timlilly]

Great picking Todd. The guitar is pretty good too.

[@keithfaust8925]

One of the best Guitar of the Days ever!

[@eddieuluilelata695]

Beautiful Todd! Great job

[@rongroves9620]

Holy crap, That was awesome!

[@kellyc2425]

Except it's not a shorter neck. The scale length difference is in the bridge placement.

[@MikeCaseyMusic72]

I'd love to add this to my Martin set!

[@buzzee9961]

Strummy strum (first tune) is Church Street Blues, Norman Blake

[@BaktaBak3]

Martin is the "holy grail" of acoustic guitars. (IMO)

[@judasshuffle1097]

Beautiful guitar,do the strings touching each other on the tuning pegs cause any problems?

[@powertuber3.047]

You sold that guitar.

[@josephgrant757]

The 1st song reminded me of a Carter Family Style song. The 3rd one has a Marty Stuart and Travis Tritt feel. Both ole Marty and Travis would approve of that👍🏻.

[@catfishmudflap]

That was great.

[@billyrossi4661]

👍

[@marksc1929]

..nice job ..👍

[@philbarrows424]

Todd,
What’s your opinion of Guild vs. Martin (any particular model)
I always felt Guild pretty much hammered the 12-String spot on
PS
It’d be nice to see a 12-String on FTF👍🏻👍🏻

[@MrTrendkill2]

nice!

[@wildbilljr3369]

beautiful guitar todd. i'd love to see you play if you ever get one in a bass acoustic i know there rear.

[@BaktaBak3]

Look forward to flat top Friday's ! :-)

[@adco]

Love ❤️ it! Great job 👍

[@adco]

Truly a beautiful guitar 🎸
I think you are spot on Todd

[@fequalsma8428]

I’m a big fan of Todd

[@lloydwright8977]

That was breathtaking.

[@promerops]

Beautiful playing. Superb guitar - I particularly like the lack of bling.

[@TheNickStuart]

Awesome guitar! What is the nut material, ebony?

[@jackd.ripper7613]

Finally got to the playing at about 6:34 Menos hablar, más tocar la guitarra.
Gorgeous playing.

[@flamencoprof]

Great job of showcasing the guitar without showboating.

[@marklownox]

Nice picking Todd!

[@pancri321]

I like Todd episodes waaaay better than Michael ones!! More Todd please!!

[@MichaelDeFillippo8889]

Anyone know that last song he plays ?

[@willoughby5150]

“ strummy strumming” love you Todd

[@RRStout]

Fantastic guitar! Really fab! How much $ ???

[@muthusala6143]

Lucky you that gets to PLAY that Martin, you didn't say what the finger board and bridge made from, is it ebony?

[@frankpuryear830]

I second the Billy Strings request!

[@briandavis1401]

Wisenbaker!!!

[@briandavis1401]

Totally odd.

[@martinvermilion5207]

Wow....

[@markmartin3221]

Open your eyes, hear with your ears feel the vibrations, smell the wood, feel the strings for this is a Martin and there are comparable quality guitars, but it’s the best there is. Santa Cruz my #2 then Taylor then... who knows. Nice playing enjoyed it very much, Byeeeeeeee

[@mdfgdgafdgdfg6509]

Is a shorter scale 000 that much better for fingerpicking? I've fingerpicked 25.5s my whole life, but I always hear shorter is better for fingerpicking. Anyway, beautiful guitar of course.

[@nickbruni8041]

Yeolde toneVille ....WOW !

[@VincentVader]

I'd like to see Molly Tuttle or Billy Strings on this channel playing vintage guitars.

[@laurabearwriter6360]

Check out Carter vintage Guitars Videos.

[@brodie6267]

Todd's hat is sick!

[@skimmer521]

I like Todd on friday's.. Call it "Acoustic corner Friday's" .

[@mattrogers1946]

I kinda prefer the mahogany back and sides to rosewood.

[@kellyc2425]

I prefer the mahogany tone.
That's why I bought a D-18 vs a D-28.

[@kloppsarmy8361]

Totally Todtatastic .

[@robertmcdonald1278]

Go Flyers!!!

[@mathu991]

He starts playing at 6:30

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

You kicked Arse, Todd! Flattop Friday's are now yours 😎 👍
( *Norm* : 😠 Don't argue, Buddy, just make it happen!😆)

[@chrisravita3779]

i was looking forward to micheal singing today :( great episode though

[@skatingolden]

Church Street Blues!

[@anthonygonzalez5840]

Nice Todd.

[@davidbronicki5024]

Hey Todd ,what size razor blades do use use I'll send you some. That ain't a good look for you.

[@matheusmatosdocarmo3790]

Oh

[@bobconnell8492]

JJ Cale hat
And 34 Martin. More Todd.
No electricity required.

[@812macdaddy]

Easy with a 40 dollar pick, not . Great sounding one there

[@brycejamesfilm5]

I am McLovin!

[@mikebell1961]

Todd, I think the word you were seeking was "Passion"

[@snuffygrunt2842]

Its the mohagany.

[@tylerrichman9]

Todd is the man, more Todd!

[@auchlowtrus9300]

Nice! Toddy Rice
