That 50th Anniversary model is beautiful!

[@VinylforMiles]

It really is!

[@ProjectDisclose]

The D50 CFM IV Anniversary is incredibly beautiful, so nice

[@VinylforMiles]

I agree it was insane in person!

[@fatttypattysoup]

Looks like Martin is putting out some really nice quality guitars. I really enjoy seeing all that beautiful wood grain

[@paulellingson5915]

If I ever get around to learning guitar one day, I might just have to do it on a Martin. Beautiful guitars. Can you teach me Mike? 😁

[@redsteamtu3515]

Choice paralysis intensifies!!!!

[@zacharylippard2994]

Love the wood selections and descriptions. So cool to see all the exotic samples.

[@VinylforMiles]

Now we need to get a Martin on the channel!

[@nanniewilliamson8668]

[@VinylforMiles]

If I ever get around to learning guitar one day, I might just have to do it on a Martin. Beautiful guitars. Can you teach me, Mike?

[@Captain_precz]

Nice video keep doing🎉

[@VinylforMiles]

Thanks 😁

[@OriginalFactsTV]

That guitar is sooo fine 🤯 where was it when I was 15 and rocking them all day 🔥 Edit: heard the price 🤣🤣

[@VinylforMiles]

Luckily the X series remastered is around $600. $50k haha no way

[@user-ik3de9cy6s]

so i had a question about my vinyl records- so basically i have them in inner and outer sleeves and there is like a dust ring around the inner sleeve and when i take the artwork out it isn’t there it’s just in the inner sleeve. and my records aren’t stored tightly at all and aren’t in sunlight, is there a reading why this dust ring problem is happening. thank you!

[@LairdDavidson]

Beautiful wood on the high end guitars but the bling inlays are over the top, like some kind of 60s rhinestone cowboy look. As for the HPL (basically Formica) in the less expensive (but not cheap) guitars with printed wood effect to make it appear to be wood when it's not is really nasty.

[@VinylforMiles]

Thanks for the tips!

[@savagemidnight3779]

How much was the guitar with the gears on it?

[@VinylforMiles]

$150k! haha probably a wealthy collector will buy it

[@UniversalChallenge4454]

did ypu get to play it

[@user-tg1dj2st2b]

damn my guitar is shit

[@yellowdrops5690]

Shame on Martin for "printing fake grain" on their products now. How low can they go? Didn't they learn their lesson with the horrible corner & cost cutting striped rosewood fingerboards nobody bought and most dealers returned? 👎

[@VinylforMiles]

So the grain printing is intentional. Its scans of some of their top tier custom shop models $10k plus replicated on modes under $800. They are upfront about what they are doing not trying to be deceitful at all. The remasters look real in person too. So those on a budget can get the looks of a custom shop for cheap.

[@yellowdrops5690]

@@VinylforMiles Not falling for it. It lessons the overall quality of the brand. I own 15 of the top model Martins and this type of junk makes me embarrassed to own Martins. They will backtrack very soon like they had to do with the striped fingerboards. Wait and see. Shame on Chris Martin for trying to copy Taylor. 👎A fake is a fake is a fake.

[@VinylforMiles]

@@yellowdrops5690 I guess as an outsider seeing them in person for the first time I thought they were cool for entry level models. What models do you like the best that you own? I am looking to get a martin after demoing them I'll take suggestions.

[@LairdDavidson]

A good quality three layer plywood using real wood laminate would be preferable. This is what most other decent factory guitar manufacturers use. It looks nice and performs well. If you're going to use plastic back and sides why not go the Ovation guitars route and make it a feature rather than disguising it with phoney wood print?

[@rosieharvey5437]

Love the wood selections and descriptions. So cool to see all the exotic samples.

[@VinylforMiles]

I was excited to get a tour of their custom shop woods
