To find out more about the guitars in this video, reach out to Maple Street Guitars in Buckhead Georgia and ask for Lindsay.
It’s not every day you get to play an acoustic guitar that was built in 1943, and this war era Martin D-28 is the best sounding acoustic guitar I’ve ever played or heard. Not only that, but in this video I get to check out a number of other incredible vintage acoustic guitars from over 80 years ago.

You certainly didn't have to do either of these and we're very appreciative of you for it! Lindsay is particularly grateful for you spreading the word of these guitars that he's currently selling and we'd love to see a couple of them end up with members of your following here. At the very least, we're happy that so many folks have enjoyed this stroll through just a tiny fraction of the guitar's rich history. It's so great to see such a wide range of people come together here with a mutual passion for all things guitar. We hope that some of you can stop by if you're ever in the Atlanta area!! It's always a pleasure having you visit the store, Rhett, and we hope to see you soon!!

I can't emphasize enough how awesome Maple Street Guitars is. I love the fact that every guitar you pull off the shelf is well set up and perfectly in tune. I bought a Baby Taylor and a Gitane jazz guitar there -- the one with the long thin neck and the tiny sound hole. I also bought a classical that they sold me at a discount since someone in the store had damaged it, and they had expertly repaired it. I was blown away at the quality of the repair and the tone of the instrument was perfect. And Lindsay and his family are really nice people.

In the hallway of acoustics, there's a spot where there's not one, but two '37 Martin OO-18s hanging next to each other. Was pretty awe inspiring. And of course the '57, '58, and 2x '60 Les Pauls are just around the corner from there.

Like slide without sliding... The Hawaiians made the guitar popular! Mahalo.

Back in 2013, I had the distinct honor of setting up the stage for a show by one of my top 3 all-time favorite artists, Charles Thompson aka Black Francis, lead singer and rhythm guitarist of Pixies. About 15 years prior, I had made friends with Reid Paley, the guy who was Charles’ opening act at the time, and we had just kept in touch. Anyway, because of this friendship (and since I was/am an established musician, as well), I was offered the opportunity, during which I was able to fondle…ahem…play just a few quick riffs on his ‘50s D-28 and D-18 acoustics, as well as one of his 2 sweet ‘50s Teles. Charles was telling me that, at least by his standards, he had essentially perfected the tone of his 2 legit vintage Teles by shipping them to this somewhat radical, tone-chasing luthier in Japan who, over a period of several weeks or months, would completely dehydrate the wood…which drastically improved its tones. Pretty drastic stuff, if you ask me, but damn do they sound amazing.

I had the very rare opportunity on that occasion, to experience not one but TWO prewar Martin flattop acoustic guitars. I won't forget that day, so long as I live. One was a dreadnought, the other a parlor guitar; both were built prior to the Civil War. The experience was indescribable. I could have bought either of them for about two grand. Today, they'd go for about 200 grand.

Thanks, Rhett. I own a 1932 Gibson L4 archtop and back, round hole like the one featured at the end. Was my father's and before him owned originally by a Wyoming cowboy named Normy, a family friend. My dad sent me off to college with it and I had Mario Martello of Lundberg's in Berkeley level and refret the neck. Plays gorgeously, loud and full, and and has gotten even better over the years. In 1978, Jon Lundberg had 5 L4's on the wall for $375-$450. Mario also scalloped the braces of a mid-60's Martin 0-18 that unfortunately was stolen from me. My 1925 all mahagony Martin 2-17 sounds a lot like that koa Martin you featured. Butes!

I was around lots of older musicians in those days and it was the best thing that could have happened.

I got a lefty G&L strat for my 50th birthday in Oct 2004 from MSG, it cost 1050.00 back then, those were the days of affordable guitars.

In 2017 I had the opportunity to play a pair of vintage, pre-World War II Martins, a 1928 0-28 and a 1934 00-18 and they were incredible. They were light in weight, very responsive, easy to play and very loud. The owner of them had acquired them earlier in life and wisely hung onto them and they were, without a doubt an experience I wish I'd had earlier in life. I would have known to start buying vintage guitars earlier, when they weren't so expensive. The Koa O-18 is an amazing guitar, even on the video, it projects very well. The Gibsons were a sight to behold, I have never seen anything but pictures of either model, so that was a treat.
