Sounds As Smooth As The Name! Martin DSS Whiskey Sunset - The Denver Folklore Center
The Martin DSS Whiskey Sunset is essentially, Martin's impression of a pre WWII J-45. This comes not as a bad thing, but as an asset to this incredible guitar, with its dry-as-white-wine sound, its vintage vibes, and modern playability all combined into one perfect "who needs a J-45" guitar, (but don't tell Gibson we said that!)

Back to our regularly scheduled programming, Ian's playing this incredible Ode Banjo that we have already sold, but loved so much we wanted to share it with you! With pretty much an all cherry construction, with a great looking ebony board and an old, round sound, this this was one of our favorites. Visit our website at www.denverfolklore.com

Martin Banjo Killer Dreadnought! - Custom Shop D18 - Denver Folklore Center
Own 4 Martins now have had others. But as a kid I was lucky enough to buy (and kept) since 1971 a J50. It will go to a nephew one day. Crisp clean sound of the Gibson. But today my fav. is a OMC16e Ovangkol.
Ooh! I’ve never heard of Choro played on a banjo before! And one of my favorites, too.
Sounds pretty good to me.
great video!!!
What kind of strings do you have on there?
Love mine. I went down to Retro 11's. Still sounds great.
The bass coming out that box is so nice 👌🏽 the great pick’n really helps too 👍🏽
That thing is nice 🔥🔥
Beautifully played and I thought he only smoked the harp! 🔥🔥🔥🫡
Nicely done boys!
Love my Dr Junior!
How’s the action?
Good! They usually sit a little lower than your average Martin, somewhere around 3/64 treble and 4-5/64 bass.
GS mini-NO Big baby -N0 Martin wins Again and Again…Ya gettin it?
Certainly can't beat their heritage and history!
That sounds incredible
Right? I can never not pick one up when they come in! Thanks for watching!
Just FYI, the 00-15SM also has a 25.4 inch scale.
Yep! Misspoke. Good catch!
Nice demo! I prefer the standard- if I was going for sparkly- would go 000
Amazing playing man!
Diagonal decal, so already 100 years. :)
Great playing. Certainly looking at getting one. Maybe a touch nervous about them being made partially in China, but Eastman is great. How would you say the tone compare to the all American built ones? I haven't found a straight up comparison when it comes to the tone. They look the part, do they sound the part. That might make the price better or even a steal.
Ty
I wish I was American just for the folk instruments. We have some canadian brand, but no review anywhere...
One of the best Martins I’ve played is one of these. Adirondack top apparently. Beautiful playing.
Sweet!
I caught you knockin’ at my cellar door…
これ、めちゃかっこええですけど結構高いですもんね( ˙▿˙ )☝ 国内旅行だと3箇所位行けそうですし🌻🍉🌏
Great playing! I think I'd want to use some flat wound strings on that thing though...
Awesome tune! Such a well written song and executed masterfully.
What are the best strings for this guitar ?
Hi Christophe, while the best strings would be a matter of personal preference, we really like Martin Retro nickel-bronze strings for that authentic old-timey sound. That's what you're hearing in this video.
@@thedenverfolklorecenter Thank you so much for the advice !
I bought that banjo George! :D I didn't see this vid until after... Great stuff boys; excellent guitar work Summers!
Remember that this is not considered a parlor guitar. The 00 is a bit larger. But it does look parlor.
Why did you choose a Banjo song for demoing guitars?
Why do you make useless comments on TH-cam?
@gsgleason I collect useless answers...
The bridge on the first manolin seem to break the rule of lining up with the cutout in the body.
Uh oh! I parked my car in their lot while I ran into Game Stop… better run back out and move it! 😬
That is a Bluegrass beauty!
It's a radius armrest, not beveled. Beautiful guitar. Good video
Beveled just means cut, like a ‘beveled heel’ or beveled glasses. It’s beveled. It’s also ‘radius’, as Taylor calls it.
Too bad I cannot do wide necks or I'd get one...
Other great options at this price point! The Eastman E10OOSS is a very similar guitar with a normal 1 ¾ nut
John repaired a broken fifth string fret and adjusted the set-up on my Goldstar banjo...never sounded better, outstanding. Thank you!
The spruce especially.
Gorgeous axes. Well done.
B. A. N. j. O
Do you have to wear overalls to play one? 🤔
No, but it helps!
@@thedenverfolklorecenter explains where I’m going wrong 😂
I was told the strings will buzz less if you wear overalls, the instrument will behave better for you.
@@namelesswanderer9315 can’t argue with science…
Nice presentation! Those 1920s oval hole L-4s have a really nice sound. We carried one like that, also with a Virzi, last year.
What brand are those F styles?
I have a LG-2 from 1942 that Denver Folklore setup for me a couple years ago, and as much as I think nothing could beat that tone, the L-4 you have there sounds like a dream
Old Gibsons are hard to beat!
👍🏻
This is so dope!!!😊
😍😍😍
This is a vibe
Can I order a "speed Neck" (like a Deering Calico) instead of a thick neck?
Thanks for asking! Being more of an old-time banjo, Pisgah does not offer a speed neck as one of their custom options. Check out their website, www.pisgahbanjos.com, to see all their custom options.
You forgot the third type - bowl-back or Neapolitan!
