Cooper, you could play an unbranded 80s laminate wood acoustic from China bought from a catalogue and still make it sound good. Awesome guitars, awesome playing and feel.
Hey Cooper, yet another great video displaying your amazing playing skills and love for music and guitars! Thanks for all of your help with my guitar purchases, congrats again on your marriage, designing guitars with Martin, and look forward to an exciting 2023!!
Congratulations Cooper! Wow! the sustain on the OM was amazing. I also like the first fender you played. All sound great especially with you playing them. Have a happy New Year!
Happy Boxing Day and 2023! Thanks for saving your best for last, Cooper! (and for giving Chris a guest appearance in this video.) After "three services in sixteen hours" according to our choir director Sunday morning, I've been resting and can now report that my fingerprint-less guitarist friend (enjoying his weekend not having to play) told me Saturday evening and Sunday morning that since the Santa Cruz Parabolic Tension guitar strings (light) that he recently put on his Taylor 814c sound so good, he found Santa Cruz strings on Amazon (mediums for his favorite, the Guild F50-R,of which he now has 3, for replacements), but ordering from SCGC was cheaper and a relationship develops. Mele Kalikimaka, Hauoli Makahiki Hou! from tropical north Idaho. 2023 looks like celebrating with the SCGC strings replacing Elixirs on the Cole Clark Angel RD-BL... and maybe the all-solid Jeff Bridges signature Breedlove concert. The Dude Abides...
I like ALMOST everything about the Alamo Martin Custom Shop OM-28. I cannot see to restring the B and E strings on a slotted head, and I would play it enough to need strings a few times a month, or more. Love the prototype I got and the OM. Thanks Cooper and Chris
Fabulous playing on five excellent guitars. That OM Martin in Cooper’s hands is magical. Congratulations and all the best to you and your bride. Happy New Year to all!
Congratulations Cooper! Every guitar you play becomes a must have for me. I think that means that I need to practice more. In any case, I will continue to listen! Thank you.
Congrats on your wedding/ marriage Cooper! I’m surprised the JV Tele made your top 5 list. I bought one and I couldn’t return it fast enough. No question it was absolutely beautiful, however the pickups, hardware and electronics were sub par at best. I was tempted to keep it and replace all hardware, electronics and the pickups, but when I added up the cost for all the parts and the labor, it would have put me into the same price range as a used Custom Shop or new American series Tele, so I decided to just return it.
I feel you should have done a top5 acoustic and top 5 electrics, but maybe that's overkill of top 5 lists. Your number one is a beautiful looking instrument and great-sounding from what I can hear over you tube.
I am in Chiang Mai and on Christmas Day I was in a bar and someone was playing some beautiful jazz tones (and jazz is not my thing) and I was absolutely digging it. It was only when I was leaving that I noticed she was playing a Revstar standard.
That custom OM is a stunning guitar. It really sounds like a master luthier built guitar. Love the design too. At the cheaper end, I dig the Furch OM designs in that style, like the Furch Vintage 2 OM. And the Yamaha FS5 red label is an understated beauty, especially without the pickguard. Sounds and looks rich, warm and woody but beautifully balanced. But what I'd really like is for Guild USA to expand the their line to include a made in the USA spruce / natural OM model. A smaller body, sweeter sounding fingerstyle oriented friend to compliment to the D-40. I can afford the Guild Westerly OM-120 now. I tried it and do think I will buy it. It's damn good - and not just for the price. But, I'm also saving my pennies, and next year could afford a Guild USA M-20/D-40, Furch Blue/Green/Vintage 2 or FS5. But I'd really go for a Guild USA OM if they will just make one. I don't think I'm the only one hoping for one. So if you guys have Guild's ear please do some 'luthier whispering' :)
Cooper- you're my favorite for demos- great playing. Revstar doesn't get enough love. I own 2- bought both this year- the new standard iwith p90's and the 1st generation rs320 with humbuckers. My favorite is the rs320. I have a few other guitars but the revstars are the best.
Great OM tone. Imagine after it opens up. I sure hope people hung around for the Boogie at 24:50. Congrats on the marriage. Wishing you many, many years of contentment with plenty of kids, grandkids and great grandkids to teach guitar to.
Hey Cooper! Happy New Year! Best wishes to you and your family! The very same to Chris and his family! I'm blessed with a couple of Martin dreadnoughts. D-41, and D-18. I Never really thought about the OM. The tone is amazing! You both really play so well. Now I have the bug again. As I get older, I find the smaller scale guitars more comfortable to play. I've told my lovely wife I'm really satisfied with the guitars I have. She never believes me. Smart lady. Thanks a lot Cooper.
The all guitar's character is too diffderent and fields are too. but i believe Alamo Music Center and you and you.Your skills and ears are greate.You gave me a lot of inspiration and knowledge. thank you all this year,and i wish your happy coming yea🎉from Japan.
Congratulations, Coop!!! I wish you and your bride much health and a life full of happiness!!! God bless you both!!! That #1 Martin is a stellar guitar!!!
Merry Christmas guys, hope you all have a fantastic New Year as well. That custom OM Martin is absolutely gorgeous, I own two American made Martins and I love both of them ( they aren’t custom shops ) but if I ever were to go for a third it would most probably be this one you picked @ #1 Cooper, very tasteful without too much bling going off the cliff man. Love your channel guys, thank you. Tommy~
Hey Cooper I grew up in Spanish church the intro on the jv modified tele sounds like Spanish hymn song ‘mi pensamiento eres tu, it might be a coincidence, you are an awesome player God bless
I always enjoy your’s And Chris’s reviews. I find them both entertaining and extremely informative. After watching your review of the 000-16 Streetmaster I was fortunate enough to purchase one from you All. It’s a wonderful guitar and have received many compliments on its sound. Coop… congratulations on your recent marriage and I look forward to continue doing business with you all. Happy New Year! ✌️
Adam , your playing style inspires me to work my way back from to playing since I had a stroke , the Guild F55 , The Taylor 500 series, and that Martin OOO35N gorgeous sound I’m looking to purchase a Taylor or that gorgeous Guild F55 deluxe Do you have a Guild F55 deluxe Buying it used might save a few hundred
I have a 0000 15sm but like the normal spruce look.. Love your custom... Slotted headstock... Martin logo down the neck like a serious guitar... Looks so cool
I have found that tone is what you get before you put your hand on the neck of a guitar. I feel that you would make a $100.00 guitar sound better than I would make a $5000.00 guitar sound. You got skills!
Number 5 - Expensive guitar Number 4 - Expensive guitar Number 3 - Expensive guitar Number 2 - Expensive guitar And Number 1 - Our personalized custom Expensive guitar.
I like the OM you had done for you but...$6k plus is a little out there for me. I have been on one stage or another for 35 years and would NEVER take this with me anywhere, for fear of it being stolen. So, I believe I will stick with the OOO-16 (probably used) you recommended on one of your other vids. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.
The 000-16 and the OM do sound quite similar here…maybe not in person, especially playing different tunes. If I were to put a k&k in them no difference…
Cooper, you could play an unbranded 80s laminate wood acoustic from China bought from a catalogue and still make it sound good. Awesome guitars, awesome playing and feel.
Man, Cooper. That's some of the best playing I've heard this year...anywhere.
Cooper really knows how to make those guitars shine
Cooper, that jam on the first guitar, the Fender JV - absolute perfection.
What a showcase of tone. Thanks, Cooper. And Congrats!
I notice Chris can’t help but smile as he plays the custom Martin OM!
That 000-16 sounds fantastic. Winner!
Hey Cooper, yet another great video displaying your amazing playing skills and love for music and guitars! Thanks for all of your help with my guitar purchases, congrats again on your marriage, designing guitars with Martin, and look forward to an exciting 2023!!
My man Dave O!! Thank you dude. Can’t wait to see you down here before too long.
That custom Martin sounds like heaven...
My fav was by far...the Martin 000 D16! What a guitar!!!!
Congratulations Cooper! Wow! the sustain on the OM was amazing. I also like the first fender you played. All sound great especially with you playing them. Have a happy New Year!
Happy Boxing Day and 2023! Thanks for saving your best for last, Cooper! (and for giving Chris a guest appearance in this video.)

That Martin Street Master sounds beautiful!
Fabulous playing on five excellent guitars. That OM Martin in Cooper’s hands is magical. Congratulations and all the best to you and your bride. Happy New Year to all!
I have a Grand Pacific tropical mahogany, and love everything about it. Sound, fit and finish, etc.
Congratulations Cooper! Every guitar you play becomes a must have for me. I think that means that I need to practice more. In any case, I will continue to listen! Thank you.
Congrats on your wedding/ marriage Cooper!

I bought a Taylor 517e this year and I love it so much. Can't recommend the Grand Pacific models enough. They sound and feel incredible.
Cooper, your playing is just incredible!
To heck with the guitars. I know I'll never be able to afford one but just hearing Cooper play is worth watching. :)
I feel you should have done a top5 acoustic and top 5 electrics, but maybe that's overkill of top 5 lists. Your number one is a beautiful looking instrument and great-sounding from what I can hear over you tube.

I'm late, but happy holydays y'all! :D
Went for that jv tele after watching this. My god. Cooper doesn't steer ya wrong. Amazing instrument.

way to go Cooper! enjoy the time when it's good - you deserve the best. you do a lot of good with your reviews! thanks - m
Hey Cooper - I love playing. You are a gifted guitarist
That Martin Alamo Exclusive is still my pick also for the year. Once again, congrats again Cooper.
I am beyond sad that I didn’t get to visit your shop while in San Antonio for a work conference! Happy New Year!
Great OM tone. Imagine after it opens up. I sure hope people hung around for the Boogie at 24:50. Congrats on the marriage. Wishing you many, many years of contentment with plenty of kids, grandkids and great grandkids to teach guitar to.
Loved this video, always love Cooper playing up there with the best of the best, but it was Chris's Amazing Grace, beautiful 👍

Nice, double-demo at the end.
Thanks for video! So many great guitars available makes the choices more hard to decide
Adam , your playing style inspires me to work my way back from to playing since I had a stroke , the Guild F55 ,
The Taylor 500 series, and that Martin OOO35N gorgeous sound
I’m looking to purchase a Taylor or that gorgeous Guild F55 deluxe
Do you have a Guild F55 deluxe
Buying it used might save a few hundred
Great choices and wonderful playing... that Martin OM is incredible!
I already saw this video, I'm just back to hear Cooper play
Nice playing Cooper.
Great stuff and congratulations. That first demo on the Japanese JV Tele makes my think of a funked up version of The Beatles "Don't Let Me Down " lol
merry christmas and happy new year
I have been "greased up" a few times too. Ha! Love your playing!
Gr8 playing to showcase what these beautiful guitars can do. Thx
2022 was my Yamaha Revstar standard lefty year !
Congrats on getting married! I really like the Fender JVs from what I’ve seen!
I truly agree with the Martin 000-16 with K&K Trinity or at least that's how I set it up.
"Screaming in Delight" - Nice hahaha
I have a 0000 15sm but like the normal spruce look.. Love your custom... Slotted headstock... Martin logo down the neck like a serious guitar... Looks so cool
Chris, CONGRATULATIONS!, wish you and your BRIDE all of your years be full of LOVE HAPPINESS WEALTH PROSPERITY and JOY.
I LIKE ALL OF THEM ! THANK YOU GUYS !
I love to hear you play. Wish I could take lessons from you!
Congratulations on the recent marriage and thanks for all you do. I am a San Antonio resident, so see you soon at Alamo Music :p Thanks Cooper
The Alamo OM is the one I kind of jonesing for 😊
Congrats
Damn cooper I think guitars just sound better because of your playing. Pretty cool the the Martin 16
Loved the demos Cooper. Great playing! Just one question, what amp were you using for the Fender JV? Loved all of the guitars, by the way.
Oh that taylor ! Beautiful all the way around ! :)
No bad .. all the way from Scotland
everyones home studio including neol gallagher is very orangey retri 70's style. its cool looking af is there a lava lamp somehwere off cam lol
Congratulations!!
21:27 nice.
He’s incredible player
I have found that tone is what you get before you put your hand on the neck of a guitar. I feel that you would make a $100.00 guitar sound better than I would make a $5000.00 guitar sound. You got skills!
Is this a song you're playing with the JV modified??? I'd like to learn that! :)
Let me guess. #1 is a Jazzmaster.
😂love ya coop😂
Wow, it wasn’t a JM. Ahh Coop is gettin’ all grow’d up, lol. 😊
Can someone tell me, what's the name of the song he played on the 00016? Great Video btw! Thank you!
Number 5 - Expensive guitar
Number 4 - Expensive guitar
Number 3 - Expensive guitar
Number 2 - Expensive guitar
And Number 1 - Our personalized custom Expensive guitar.
Great guitars and guitarplayer 🎶💥👍
Thank You
Could just be my ipad but that OM martin sounded pretty muddy on the bottom. The rest of it, mid range and top sounded amazing.
Freaking awesome equipment
Did martin ever fix their binding problems on their high end guitars ?
I love that tune you played on the fenders. What is it.
Congratulations on your marriage! 🎉
sir i need to know what that martin guitar is shown briefly that's so blingy. its on 17:49 minutes of video clip. thanks
Does anybody know what the first song Coop played with the OOO-16 was?
What about the Yamaha red label Series?? Better than any of these-p
I like the OM you had done for you but...$6k plus is a little out there for me. I have been on one stage or another for 35 years and would NEVER take this with me anywhere, for fear of it being stolen.
So, I believe I will stick with the OOO-16 (probably used) you recommended on one of your other vids. Just my 2 cents worth. Peace.
The 000-16 and the OM do sound quite similar here…maybe not in person, especially playing different tunes. If I were to put a k&k in them no difference…
would love to get on your website but it doesnt seem to be running right now :-(
That OM is the best guitar played in this channel. Amazing
Great video and playing as always. Best wishes for a long and happy marriage.
Cooper - you’re the best acoustic guitar player presenter on You Tube.
What about the Gibson Song Writer?
Yes Cooper, what the heck is going on? I played a 000 16 streetmaster and it didn't sound anything like that.
Screaming….in delight 😏
