That's gonna be a cannon of a guitar. Beautiful.

[@davidcampbell4174]

It was one of those 'It looks as good as it sounds' guitars. Great episode, thanks to both of you for the effort. It is appreciated.

[@RockHardRiffs]

I stopped counting after 50 too. Ugh. No mistaking that Martin tone. Sweet!

[@catfishmudflap]

What a beautiful guitar. Thank you.

[@jimbonacum8917]

As a friend of mine likes to say, "there is dignity in all work." The key is to find work that provides one with a sense of satisfaction. I have worked at many things for many reasons from things I did to pay the rent to others that provided me with a real sense of personal fulfillment. I wish that for one and all. Each job has its good points and its bad points and it is important to understand that. I am sure that working at Norm's is the same. But despite how busy you must be know that many of us appreciate your efforts and also envy you the chance to play the sort of guitars that we can only dream of. For example I have never played a genuine blackguard Tele but at least i get the vicarious thrill of seeing you do it so please keep up the good work.

[@JtotheP68]

Jim Bonacum Well said, truly wise words.

[@soopr38]

God = Eric Clapton

[@zyvananta3356]

Lol

[@jerry12601]

I always play guitar of the day through my Bose 701. This guitar sounded particularly sweet. So when does does the new website go up.

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

perfect Jen!!

[@mariozamprogno1654]

Great rant keep up the good work

[@patrickohagan8305]

Well done.

[@BawlsMahoney]

That Wildflowers hit me in the feels man. The only non-family death that affected me. I'll be right back, just gotta go take a manly cry.

[@nsmtyler7]

Great guitar and really nice demo, Mark. Hey don’t let the bastards get you down! Remember you and the store have friends out there - even some old guys who fly down from Seattle on their birthday to hang out in your store! P.S. Next time I’ll come armed with some cash and will buy one of them there guitars!

[@scottman-cl4jm]

My dream guitar 000 Martin maybe some day

[@darrellstaples7011]

Beautiful.✌👍 What you got for my birthday A strat for April 28th calgary alberta.

[@nicklevan8058]

The triple o size is so awesome

[@omagoo585]

Oh yeah, that's the good stuff right there

[@martinmartin8871]

killer character tone!!!!

[@RS-vk7op]

Being a LA store and being such a Tom Petty fan I am surprised that the Byrds don't get much love on the program, in my humble opinion everything that is LA R&R started the day the Byrds took over Ciro's and the Whiskey. Before the Byrds the sunset strip was not where its at all. Do a rick for Roger or how about a Bbender Tele for Clarence! Am I right folks!

[@fishhooks100]

Boom Box! Clean...... so clean.......... hard to believe how old it is.........

[@andrewswift7825]

Wildflowers is amazing. Whole album is amazing. But that song can make just about anyone happy. R.I.P. Tom Petty. We all love and miss you

[@lauramoore9659]

Nice!

[@nick1226]

It’s the freakin weekend!

[@ianpavelko3827]

Today's setlist: 1. Eric Clapton-Change the World 2. Tom Petty-Wildflowers (thanks to Mike M.) ;)

[@mikeymojo8299]

Ian Pavelko 2) Wildflowers Tom Petty 🎩

[@jackorion7157]

Yeah!!

[@12Radius]

Love short scale !

[@coledraper5694]

Love that diss at the beginning 😂😂

[@johneason6540]

I hope you found a good home for this beautiful guitar

[@RichardCSLow]

Hey Mark, I wonder why there is no herringbone in this guitar or most herringbone has only existed in the model made during wartime? Btw, thank you Mark and Jen for shooting and editing GOTD everyday!

[@capt.lovestarii2752]

Mark, .Jen Keep up the good work. Always love watching GOTD. I hear the shame crap about musicians. "Never worked a day in their lives". lol.

[@jamesstewart6801]

Pouring concrete is lots of work. But dealing with the public. And musicians at that. I'd go nuts. Give me a vibrator and a concrete truck any day. Then I can come and watch guitar of the day. Thanks Mark and Jen.

[@angeredcheese1332]

nice

[@tomjohn3364]

Super nice Martin. It's been a very good week so far. Sweet sounding guitar. Still waiting for something Vox. I know how about a Vox guitar or bass.

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy Flat-Top Friday everyone! Hey Mark, next SG play some Frank Marino!

[@mortensen1961]

YES! Does anybody know The Answer?

[@thomasrichmond601]

Poor Mark, lol.. still a great guy, thanks Mark ✌️and Jen 🌷 byeeeeee

[@johnoconnor2648]

Where is the pricing for a) Martin 000-28 1950s and b) Martin D-28 1950s? Is there like a prime era for 000s? I'm interested in buying one of the two. Cheers, Johnny

[@Fnortner01]

What is this new show of which you speak again?

[@billhufford7209]

Haha awesome rant

[@martintaylor7597]

Put me down for 3 of ‘em

[@kentbeery8653]

Mark it would be cool if you tell what the price is on these Guitar of the day

[@anthonyc1883]

Kent Beery It has been asked many, many times on these videos. Apparently, that's not their policy. Call.

[@yinyangja]

That's the only accoustic you need for your collection :)

[@kevinpaul1719]

I have a new D28 by Martin. No bridge hump

[@captnorm4727]

It ain’t a job if you love what you do ....

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket!

[@TheRockyhockey007]

wow , Brazilian rosewood treat , very nice axe, drop that baby into D and let er sing

[@thomasnettleton289]

Has that guitar EVER been played, besides today? Oy vey what a work of art! It needs to be played for a few days and then put back in its climate-controlled vault. Great episode!

[@davidthayer3258]

My physics teacher is going to be upset he missed out on the musicmaster

[@MrStranger1944]

I can dig it.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Mr.Stranger DUG 🎩

[@davebutcher8150]

Is this one under $1,000 also.

[@HBSuccess]

Dave Butcher maybe with 2 more zeros. LOL

[@ardiris2715]

Tioga Fretworks $1000.00

[@ludoms100]

Nope its 3795$

[@ardiris2715]

Sweetwater sells new ones for $3000.

[@davebutcher8150]

Tim Volk well I just bought another guitar for the collection. So $3000 is way out of my budget.

[@minder4u1]

Got any violins mark, ya know the smallest kind :-)

[@jeff1586er]

Jobs... If you want to do it you pay them, if you don't they pay you. Oh , wait...anyway... We all would need to work at something. I get it but it could be worse. I was a machinist for 30 years and I look around and I'm too old. I'm glad you are doing well.

[@pavanatanaya]

Flat Top Fonzy'in.

[@ismagui3320]

Do an airline

[@makssoni4390]

how much cost to get this holy grail? 7K? 10K?

[@joebodynobody764]

We still aren't sold on your hard life. Nice Martin.

[@angryheb1]

Mark was born in the 80s, makes us ppl born in 69 feel old when he can't do the math. lol

[@songwriterjj6022]

"Mister Martin laughed first" - Captain Chaos

[@aum3.146]

Big props to Mark but why does he never play pianoissimo?

[@andrewcaldwell5026]

Guitar at 2:40

[@sickb2200]

Thanks. A 160 second intro. :l

[@c.p.1589]

I thought Les Gold just pawned guitars. He can play too!

[@jackhookings8907]

Hey Mark, It’s 51 years old

[@Valvey789]

How did that guitar spend the last 50 years to be in that kind of shape?

[@MykeD913]

Mark needs a "pick me up"...uggghhh hey guys it's Mark...grumble...uhhhhh..just kidding, love the vids!!😁poor guy...jeez, beautiful guitar, I can't afford it, or any of the guitars you guys show, but it's nice to dream. Hey Mark, at least u get to play these killer guitars!!!

[@rockingtr1]

It's not my job, man ? I thought you sold guitars! BTW-Doesn't Jen do editing? What's her job? Camera holder? Duct tape & a guitar stand. Keep up the hard work kids! Seriously! LOL.

[@leroyosborne4492]

Can you please throw in a lefty soon please!!!!!

[@necro6195]

Please write the names of the songs 😍

[@tangoalfa1970]

Love FTF on GOTD.

[@shawngabrielp984]

Anyone one have any pointers for barring chords easier? I suck at it.

[@isaachull1646]

Shawn Gabriel P make sure you use the edge of your finger and get your wrist under it, if you have a certain part of your finger that hard to use try to position it behind the chord

[@shawngabrielp984]

isaac hull Thanks man I'll try it out

[@espcarolkinder]

Shawn Gabriel P Me too! I’m 56 & trying to teach myself to play. I know a bunch of chords, but those barre chords are my enemy! I seem to have a mental block w finger picking too 😳 I’m not giving up though!!

[@AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible]

Make sure your thumb is on the back of the neck and your wrist is really far around. Do it sitting not standing. And make sure you have a good instrument where the strings are not too high, you want a nice low action. Practise going between C and F barred, then slide up to G, down to F and back to C.

[@shawngabrielp984]

AsFewFalseThingsAsPossible thanks man, I'm good with a lot of these chords but the bars always get me lol, I can't switch to it but I'll do those exercises

[@jameswelsh598]

number 34 damn it

[@guitarocd9984]

Haha I guess the guy that wrote that email never worked in retail. You have to deal with a holes all day. I would rather pour concrete.
