Vince was wrong about XS having a slightly more tension (lights or mediums) than regular lights or mediums (P.B.).. In fact the XS have about 5 lb less tension than a regular set of D'Addarios.

John and Vince, you should know that these old 30's Martin's do have a truss rod..actually a T-Bar to strengthen the neck. non adjustable though ..The adjustable neck truss rod did not come into production by Martin until 1985.

Watching Vince play and sing with my Dad's old guitar on the Grand Ole Opry stage could not have honored my Mom & Dad's memory any more. They loved to sing and play country music together their whole lives with that same Martin D18 guitar. My family is so incredibly honored that Vince is now the keeper of that memory which still lives on with him. Thank you, Vince.

Yes, me too - I was watching a consert with Mark Knopfler and " The Notting Hillbillies" and Paul Franklin played the steel. Not the usual old guy with cowboy hat, lots of rhinestone-rings and "crying steelguitar", but a young man with a fancy shirt and a ponytail. The exact moment I decided to get a pedal steel was the solo on "When it comes to you". Mark Knopfler starts off on a solo, and he is not known for his poor tone...... But when Paul Franklin takes over you could (can, the clip is still on youtube) really hear the massive difference, the steel fills the entire hall with a sustain that lasted forever and the telecaster sounded like a muted banjo compared to the steel guitar.

I wept quietly, thanks to all that made this video possible for us to enjoy.

It brought the house down...I cried so hard..tears of pure joy. I'd never heard anything like it before or since. Vince and band were on fire...just an incredible evening I will never forget.

His Father must have been quite a guy, those stories are really special! Another one was talking to the black girl at the bar on a tour night off. LOL I'm 71 and I'll probably never get ti meet him though. I also love guitars like he does. But mine are 'junkers' compared to his. I always wanted an old 'fat neck' J45, I prefer bigger necks. The J50 was the same as the J45 but natural not Sun Burst. Its hard to keep track of Gibson sometimes, they used 24.75 and 25.50 scale on advanced jumbo and southern jumbo, then the SJ200 and all the smaller 0 and 00 models. Really enjoyed the video!!
