    Don’t know why but I love the bit at around 8 minutes where the Martin guy is talking to the camera and Lee is listening but just randomly walking around in the background like a kid in a candy shop

    • @MultiDreamer1979
      @MultiDreamer1979 3 місяці тому +1

      It’s because it’s actually very rude sometimes he walks around without acknowledging the man he is interviewing and he looks around and kinda wonders of in his own world, and when you interview somebody you give them their undivided attention! I love Lee but he has to work on his way of interviewing because it show that he is not interested in anyone then only himself.here in America we just do things differently I guess.

    • @stoneysdead689
      @stoneysdead689 3 місяці тому +8

      @@MultiDreamer1979 He's not interviewing them genius- he's doing a factory tour and that's why he's looking around the factory while talking- he's looking for anything he thinks we might be interested in and want to see. The person doing the tour is completely incidental and only there as a representative of the company. Besides- Americans do not want to get into a pissing contest with Brits over etiquette or manners- we would lose, without question.
      Edit: If you would like to watch him do an interview though he does have a series called "Captain Meets..." where he interviews all kinds of brilliant artists- and he's very attentive, engaging, and polite.

      You certainly write things differently.
      cf. wanders off, wonders of;
      not interested in anyone other than himself, not interested in anyone then only himself;
      give them your undivided attention, give them their undiviided attention

    I got goosebumps watching this Lee. I don’t know how to thank you for giving us these special videos and tours of these historic places. This is not only Martin history but American history. The explanation of how the immigrants moved from Europe over to America, settling in this area and bringing their traditions and work ethic. This is what made our country what it is. Beautiful work and your enthusiasm for this stuff is very real and so great to see. I need to make my way out there and see this place. Thank you so much and I can’t wait for the video at the new factory.

    Being in the NY/NJ area, I'm fortunate to be a relatively short drive from the factory. I've done the tour twice. The folks there are very gracious and accommodating. Clearly, they are proud to be there.

    Very nice tour. Like kids in a candy store. Nice to see Lee appreciating all the "old" tools, markings on the walls. The feel feel for history, while he is always surrounded by the most modern stuff in his shop.
    Thank you Andertons team for making this film.

    Lee, If I knew you were there I would have stopped up to just to say hi. I’m not far from there. Love the Andertons channel and like so many others, I’ve purchased guitars based on your reviews!
    Having Martin in our area is truly a hidden gem!! It always amazes me when I talk about Martin guitars how people don’t realize the most iconic acoustic guitars (at least for me) are created here in our area.

    @MayorMcCheese2000 3 місяці тому

    So weird seeing you guys post videos from my neighborhood. So cool seeing the original forms for the sides because they're very clearly made out of solid white oak, the same white oak that I harvest locally and use for making jigs and such to aid in my own guitar making.... It's a shame they never got into using local woods for guitars, because this area is actually great for Walnut, Maple, Ash along with other less traditional tonewoods like Hickory, Tulip, and Oak. I'm sure there's no shortage of local oak in those buildings though, and I'm sure all those floorboards came from locally harvested lumber. They've done a great job at maintaining a positive presence in the community and provide a lot of great jobs for local folk. You guys might not see it as tourists but the Pennsylvania Dutch community is very much still alive in this area to include to unique language which you might hear used as slang often such as "Gnunk" for "good". The heritage and history of this factory is maintained right along side the community itself.

    As usual, the Captain recognized the potential and soon enough he was working at Anderton’s.
