I can assure you all that no guitars were harmed in this video, but thanks for caring!

[@wheezyjefferson9136]

tod wisenbaker you did great, and I did learn something about the model sizes. Thank you!

Someday I’m gonna bring in my Grandfathers 1931 and have the neck reset and Todd can play it.

[@ScottMcdonaldMusic]

Nice job!!!

[@mdhonze]

can you please play jerry on a regular basis...please

[@Pannemat]

2018: people freaking out over Agnesi's jacket. 2020: Todd, "Hold my beer ..."

[@TheEknaian]

Old martins on flat top Friday are my favorites!!

[@Smagledorf]

Love the Antique Toddshow! Great playing and great guitars! Nothing better! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@catfishmudflap]

"These Days" was the first Jackson Browne song. Very nice Todd.

[@barrysoetoro8452]

Yes but can he play this song whilst singing Smoke on the water??? lol

[@JohnDoe-sz3lz]

Jackson Browne. Many, many hits. AND, many, many, MANY Eagles hits wouldn't exist without him ;).

[@jennrat513]

🙂

[@MattyK-USA]

Great to see these old Martins! I love my 1967 00-18 and will never give it up. It sounds just like this, as far as I can make out via KZbin audio. Oh man Todd, prepare for the firestorm over that pen-on-the-lower-bout scrape... 😲😜😂😁🙂🤣 Relax people, these guitars can take a lot more than that.

[@zennomad258]

I’m starting to get the feeling I need to live next door to Norman’s Rare Guitars

[@musicfan8253]

I love flat top Friday. Great job, as usual, Tod! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@jennrat513]

This was so nice..👍

[@overtonesnteatime198]

Fantastic playing for sure

[@robertdiehl1281]

Oh my...what wonderful guitars and playing.

[@chrisashby32]

Learned a lot from this vid. Love it.

[@davewinstead5871]

Thank you! I have always been a little confused about the Martin sizing. When did they start putting adjustable truss rods in the neck?

[@montemichelbleu]

That excursion was a pleasure and a treat.

[@arthurlocke3130]

Clang, crash, bam, bang, bang, scrape, scrape. Ughh! No biggie, they're only 1946's and 1957! I'm dying here, Is Norm?

[@tbeau6663]

Lovely

[@Guardducks]

Jen was that your idea Todd from Todd's antique show? That was a good one. 👍

[@ardiris2715]

With no disrespect to Lemmo, Todd seems to demonstrate the sound of the acoustic guitars better. Jen is always fabulous.

[@TheRockyhockey007]

luv those old Martins , such great tone and so pretty , really liked the all mahogany one , and the smaller size guitars are real nice to play , the bigger ones sound better in a performance venue but for a small set , these are so much better . Very cool JB there Todd , a talented guitarist for sure , always a treat at Norms , thanks guys.

Good job Tod. I’m really craving a 00.

It's "Good Job, Todd"! Lovez me an older, all seasoned up, broken in, 0 and 00 size Martin!

[@Goodvibesyeetus]

very neat lesson todd more of these would be awesome

[@donaldholman9070]

terrific instrument and a great musician. thank you. i want a 00 28...sigh

[@ryanbloom1738]

Todd's cool!

[@coachdewalls9355]

Professor Todd just gave us the Martin Guitar introductory course. Come back next semester for the intermediate course! I am very disappointed that he didn't wear his Martin hat for this episode. That would've made the back room segment so much more poignant. Haha 😄

[@compass4853]

Hey Todd - Martin Guitar 101. Thanks for the primer, but pepperoni looking pickguard! Nice playing on the Jackson tunes!

[@glenkepic3208]

Great breakdown!! me, 70s D15 at Starving Musician, '99, $800. Played great. Only Martin I ever played..

[@SuperNarcissius]

I got pretty nervous watching you handling all those expensive instruments with that pointy finger held in your hand @

[@DaleyWard]

And in that confined space filled with hard edges!

[@warbseven8613]

I’m guessing all the dings are an ‘in house’ feature. The way he scraped the pencil across the soundboard! I wouldn’t let him over the threshold.

[@localguy8]

Todd I throughly enjoyed you playing yes do play the othe Martin too 👍🏻👍🏻☮️💕🎸

[@barrysoetoro8452]

Sounds so good Hi Jen

[@bonjourtag]

You’re hired! Great job.

[@richsolis6538]

Loved the flat top info

[@pauloppel3890]

Totally Todd needs a dry erase board and markers, a periodic table and a laser pointer to trace the Martin lineage next time...

[@Dang...]

This guitar sounds absolutely beautiful! Excellent playing on this demo. I have a 00-18 from 1956. You can't beat these 50's 00-18's! they sound MUCH bigger and better than the size would indicate. Made in the old factory with hide glue, the 60+ year old wood sounds amazing!

[@bgmckddy]

Good job Todd!!

[@breakandrun70]

Hi Todd & Jen Nice 000-18, Job well done folks, to the both of you. I am looking for a 7-28 Martin guitar, if you ever run across one, please e-mail me, I would definitely be interested. Need the small neck due to my hand is fused. Thanks Barry

[@nakana_212]

Say what u guys want. But if someone handles my precious acoustic like that I’d be quick to say wtf and snatch if back.

[@jafsietrade3780]

SECOND TUNE NOT WRITTEN BY JACKSON BROWN- ITS A DANNY OKEEFE SONG. HIS VERSION IMO IS STILL THE BEST.

[@AnonymousNP]

Next! 1946 j45!! Pls

[@mrtambourineman6107]

Wish I could afford a vintage small body guitar, I just have a new (2yrs old)oo18 Martin. Not much to boast about. I suppose I need to stop buying fender custom shop guitars 😞

[@kamchuenso7836]

New Martin standard models should have been sprayed the vintage gloss finish to the neck....

Slightly boxy sounding but in a mix...BOOM. Great playing

Why the big pen and scruffiness guitars yo ?????????

[@barrysoetoro8452]

Todd Angelo Batio - play both guitars at the same time. lol

[@the_gitman5978]

OMG! Never actually scrape the top of the vintage Martin with a pen or anything else!

[@toddwisenbaker]

The_ Gitman nothing was scraped !

[@Hillcapper1]

That’s hilarious, these guys handle more vintage guitars in a day than most of us will in a lifetime. I think they know the plastic pen is not going to scratch anything. Guitars aren’t made from cardboard.

[@nakana_212]

It’s a demonstration of how durable these guitars are!! Cmon man!! Little pencil tap here. Little drag of a pencil there. When people do that to my guitar it makes me super happy!!! Amazing!!

Tod, even though you drug thate piece of wood across the instrument, I Really Dig it when You do GOTD. Besides being an EXCELLENT Musician, you have alot of Knowledge of the Instruments, and a Great Knack for delivering Stats, facts mixed with some Storytelling.............Tod, Lemmo should take notes...lol. Big LOVE to ALL of you at Norms and as JEN would say.................. Byeeee 🎸💚

[@rrrrdavid1]

Are old guitars really that good? Because a lot of them sound dull and muffled. Like this one. The wood is dead and non vibrant.

[@kamchuenso7836]

Vintage value is hard to estimate.....

[@barryduff3047]

You can't have a looper pedal on an acoustic - and thats good. Classic songs on a classic guitar and a perfect Guitar of the Day

[@tinman8518]

I cringed!! 1:45 Anybody else??

[@af2w131f]

I'm not sure why you're clutching your pearls. Did he slide a razor blade against the guitar and somehow I mistook it for a harmless pencil?

No, I own a few Martins, they aren’t cardboard believe it or not. They handle multiple vintage guitars every day, I think they know what they are doing.

Are you trying to dent and scratch those beautiful guitars? Put the stupid pen down and stop banging the guitars against each other.
