Comment from : @Thesongspirit1

Who can afford those
Comment from : @rstonge1000

How do you afford these guitars?!? Honestly, I'm really asking
Comment from : @danstraussmusic

i'd have the Gibson Southern Jumbo from that lot
Comment from : @trevorfromengland

Surprised he doesn't have any Santa Cruz guitarsbrSanta Cruz Vintage Southerner is way better than that Gibson
Comment from : @GMS8201

Sir you have good taste in guitars😊
Comment from : @dagenhudson752

Hi Tony, what's your opinion, if any, on Zager acoustic guitars?
Comment from : @henryschindler5140

I like the biggest sounding loudest guitar I can get my hands on So far it’s been a Gibson Advanced Jumbo But I’ve never got to try a HD35 I plan to try one very soon I lost my AJ in a house fire a few years ago Absolute cannon of a guitar and would stun the Martin guys with its volume 😂 But a new one is 5k now 😮 I hope the HD35 will be close or beat it

I own a Martin D-18 that I bought new in 1973 for $340 During those 51 years, I have had 1 neck reset, the saddle re-glued, new frets, and new tuners I have other, newer guitars But the D-18 has, by far, the best tone (especially in the bass) and the best punch The trick is to keep it humidified I been using the same noodle for decades
Comment from : @tomf429

Which one is closest to Robert Johnson
Comment from : @anthonyfowler2623

What a retard
Comment from : @Metalovai

Ok, so you like Martins that don't impress me much
Comment from : @pavlovdogs1178

To me this just sounds like he wanted to show off his collection of expensive guitars
Comment from : @steveavant9727

But Taylors sound better 🧐
Comment from : @johnlocke3481

This video is sponsored by Martin
Comment from : @superblindeye1

Interesting! I would have guessed you’d have a bourgeois for sure Also, not a single Taylor surprised me a bit too Thanks for sharing
Comment from : @Scorpsie

You must be wealthy man Some people can only dream of owning a martin guitar
Comment from : @domdimensions9219

all talk no demo YAWN
Comment from : @justanotheryoutubechannel3102

Basically it's a collection based on social fads Good guitars, but not for the money Everyone gets so tied up on what's printed on the headstock
Comment from : @dg111fu

FUc* high dollar guitars,,under $40000 sound just as good
Comment from : @jimmyhaley727

Interesting No Collings, no Bourgoeis, no Maton, etc, etc, basically no boutique guitars I could speculate, but is there a reason for that?
Comment from : @edmurphy671

JeezMartin wins pretty clearly After 500 guitars played, 7 or 8 of 10 (I lost count) being Martins, makes the truth pretty clear I have owned 5 Martins and just bought my 6th I have tried to like Guilds, Taylors and Gibsonsbut I end up with Martins over and over
Comment from : @KnightDriveTV

I have a Taylor 810 I think I bought over 40 years ago and can't play worth anything It still looks new I am 78 years old and I am thinking about picking it up again as Tony seems like a great teacher
Comment from : @JohnWalker-z3g

I've owned a lot of American vintage guitars over the years, my favorites were 000 Martins and Gibson j-50's and 45's I've also had my share of higher end boutique guitars Now my favorite guitar at age 66 is an archtop made by Tom Bills in St Louis, it plays like no other guitar I've owned I am on the search for another acoustic though and have given serious thought to hunting down another made by Tom Bills called the Genesis
Comment from : @MarkMaysey

I think your ego built this list
Comment from : @ragsbombadil195

At least you have "1" Gibson, but you missed the best, no Guild Wahi' Valleys
Comment from : @wahivalleys3011

it shows you are a gibson guy nothing more
Comment from : @st1nkh3ad

To try and simplify the debate a little, most guitars $1000 plus with the right woods, a solid top, the right strings, a good action and proper set up can sound pretty much as good as any modern martin

Comment from : @RachelHamilton-dz5yv

All the guitars are Martinwhich are probably the best acoustic guitars next to Ovation Nothing to see here

Thank you
Comment from : @duaneulman9915

I just got a baritone Alvarez and, yes, it’s awesome
Comment from : @Atlas_Mohler

I would never buy a guitar without a cut away, why limit yourself
Comment from : @pgtips4240

I'm sorry you don't like Martins very much
Comment from : @donnyh3497

I'm pleased to see that my Martin 2-17 from 1926 is on your top 9 list My version has a few more cracks in it, but it is a guitar I've had for over 50 years
Comment from : @culturalvisions

I think there's another channel with a similar vid titled, "I Reviewed 500 Violins: Here Is The Half Dozen Stradivarius Models I Bought" 🤣
Comment from : @cobbler88

Those are fine guitars bit there also very expensive Martin's are outrageous I have a MD 85,spruce top mahogany Alvarez that's about 35 years old and its sounds amazing Considering I only gave about 600 fir it br I also have another All solid mahogany Alvarez that sounds good too there masterworks line And a blue ridge with is my baby And and an ovation koa top This give me a range of of voicings In a acoustic style Guitars With out breaking the bank Sure I love Marin Taylor and Gibson but my wallet is not that fat,,,, I m a finger style player and allterant pick a lot too And these serve me well For that,, gospel bluegrass and country Boucher also makes a very good dread naught and there are lots 8f others Out there that have good Features I'm sold on blue ridge I may have just got lucky with the one I have but it sounds better than my old Martin did You just have to try different guitars till you find whstvyou like at a price you can afford ,
Comment from : @duaneholcomb8408

Comment from : @bathizargupta249

Shocked you don't have a Marron hog backed dread or 000-28 Great collection obviously though Amazing

Your channel rocks bro
Comment from : @_ErIc1976

If I had the money a Lowden F50c sinker redwood and ziricote with koa bevel would be it
Comment from : @wallygoots

Martin, martin, martin I hate martin every martin I've had, I had to have it modified
Comment from : @deborahmcalister3936

So a bunch of Martins, That's disconcerting Unless it means Gibson is your favorite because you play it the most and the Martins are just trophies one collects to have credibility
Comment from : @SuiGenerisMan

I love this channel Probably the best marriage of information and entertainment when it comes to guitars Doing a top job ❤️
Comment from : @jonlensd

IDK know why people hatin, like we all wouldnt own these if we could! Good collection bro, i would expect no less
Comment from : @codybuffoord3172

That little old martin is just perfect for me! Something to dream of…
Comment from : @DR-nh6oo

Tony, you should really think about trying a Martin or two
Comment from : @derekgladden5200

Yes i admit I too found the video both slightly annoying — because it was so Martin heavy, and cool — because it shows the diversity of us players Everyone has their own idea of what “sounds good” And that’s cool This guy is obviously Martin obsessed Which is ironic since he designed that Guitarsenal shirt with a variety of guitars on it Hah! As a recording artist, especially as a songwriter, I NEED diversity in my collection I have about 55 rotating acoustics And they do lean toward Gibson and Epiphone But my FAVs are 60s German made Hofners Hard to find But very full bodied and unique sounding Just nothing like them To me Martin and Taylor sound too “generic” — for MY taste And that’s my point Every player has their own taste And that’s what makes the whole scene so cool
Comment from : @transcendenttv

What a gay grift video
Comment from : @Ones_Complement

AhhhhMartin I’ve got 4 of them But I also have a Furch, Sigma, and a Collings electric
Comment from : @rogerd9150

This was the most annoying video I’ve ever watched
Comment from : @christianconte4767

would be nice to hear them too
Comment from : @MyDesignerTV

Shoulda just called the video "my Martin collection that you can't afford"
Comment from : @tyecook9630

My favourite guitars to buy: Martin, Martin, Martin, Martin, Martin, expensive vintage Martin, priceless vintage Martin, Taylor, Gibson

Comment from : @nautiquecowboynautiquecowb5317

Apparently Breedlove’s must have been sold out
Comment from : @Lufkindaytrading

Comment from : @priyanshuchoudhary8319

No D28 😳
Comment from : @jchinojosa0341

Face it, you are biased towards Martin guitars
Comment from : @jeans2411

Do you also have a Martin by any chance?
Comment from : @niklasweber1505

I can guess you're a Martin guy :-D
Comment from : @romainbertrand253

BTW Tony the great thing about you you're just as passionate about $10000 guitar as you are a $500000 guitar thx for keeping it positive 👍
Comment from : @marksc1929

Great guitar collection Tony but your collection's not complete without a Guild D-M 25 I have Martin's and a Custom tobaco burst Hummingbirdwhich was actually gifted to me ps still very jealous of your collection thx for what you do Tony 👍
Comment from : @marksc1929

Your guitar collection is a tad heavy on Martins - I counted 6 Martins out of the 9 total
Comment from : @quietwyatt4045

Surprised there isn't a Guild in theremy F-50 jumbo is great and it cost a small fraction of these guitars Cool list, nonetheless I will save it in case my numbers come in
Comment from : @gman1730

Why buy anything other than a Martin? They are superior to all others
Comment from : @chrishall2594

Impressive collection You must not be married! Not surprised to see that a Huss and Dalton snuck into Tony's lineup But not a single Collings, Santa Cruz or Preston Thompson Hmmm Have you reviewed many of those?
Comment from : @cookq

Had a Martin D28, hated it
Comment from : @jameschristopher3405

Fantastic Guitarsinol collection if I could afford any of those I could also fork out $3354 for a tee shirt (shipped) it is cool though
Comment from : @wolverine3344

I’ve watched this a bunch, I would love to see some more vids on these guitars In lock my inner guitar geek is growing stronger
Comment from : @CornwallguitarlessonsCoUk

Looking to replace my Ovation Legend Thinking about a used 2016 / 2017 Taylor (non-V-Brace): 414ce, 514ce, 614ce - any other Guitars I should consider for about $2000 With a cutaway and onboard electronics??? Nice guitar collection
Comment from : @michael_caz_nyc

hd28 owner here, really not liking the spanish cedar neck, so light and easily dented
Comment from : @passcomcompass2623

Have you reviewed any of the Zager guitars?
Comment from : @larryd3357

What year is that hd 35? I’m looking for a new guitar and I’ve heard you can find them used for around 2k
Comment from : @davisyoung3095

So you basically made this video to rub our faces in it, lol! You know the average joe can't afford even one of those guitars! Lol dude, post a vid we can use!
Comment from : @jtarman70

his face is the shape of a plectrum
Comment from : @adrianpierce3047

I get ityou like Martinits understandable, they're great However for many of us they are an "If I ever win the lottery" guitar What would you recommend in a lower price point?
Comment from : @glendaducharme357

Wow, what a harem you got there, Tony I just entered the land of Martin for the first time and I hope I did the right thing - I got a near mint D-16T If it stinks I'll pack it up and return it, go back to my GS Mini
