I just started learning to play guitar last August a month before my 61st birthday and I hope one day I will to be able to play anywhere near as good as you are now. Awesome musical skills.
Watch alot of your videos, beautiful Martin, sounds amazing, there is nothing better than a vintage Martin, you play very well, my favorite of your videos is when you you played Over the Rainbow, really beautiful, thanks for sharing these beautiful guitars 🎸 and your great guitar skills.
On one hand it's amazing that the top has been able sustain the string pull for all these many years. It's a powerful tone machine! Great playing by the way!
That’s the Holy Grail of flat tops. A pre war Herringbone Dreadnought is a magical thing imo. Straight off the bat I can hear that awesome dry woody sound that I’ve not heard from any modern built guitar as good as they are? I’m pretty sure Keith Whitley had one that was given to him by Lester Flat
Hi Allan, You have owned many great dreadnoughts and have played just about every great dreadnought. What guitar brand/model/year sounds the best to your ear?
Two different guitars, for sure. Both were great. In fact, with three of us here playing them together one afternoon, it was hard to choose. But in the end, I preferred the '35, while my two friends preferred the '37.

If I had to pick the best sounding D-28 I ever heard, this might just be that guitar. Evro-thang!

Wow, superb!!! Loved hearing, “Dance With Me”.
Wow, some beautiful playing and an incredible guitar…I am blessed to own a ‘53 D-28 which also sounds amazing!!
Now…if I could only play like this! 😄
Good luck on that one.. I think we all would like to be able to play like Allen
You started playing and I was like wow... Better than I expected
A great sounding guitar! This is what a great guitar sounds like with a skilled and exceptional musician.
Great playing! Enjoyed your post! Greetings from Hollywood, California.
Thanks for playing.
As always you're the best!
Sounds real nice
Incredible guitar and playing, I really enjoyed the video
That's definitely a keeper!

Yes, sir, what a sweet sound that was great job man thanks for sharing altho that's out if my range, but wouldn't that be a nice haha
wow what a gorgeous , balanced sounding vintage D28...Great playing and presentation...What was this strung up with?
I honestly don't know, that would be a question for Dale.

I like several for different situations. So there is no "one is the best" for me.
A surprisingly modern sound. Id not be able to tell the difference from a 40 or this
Does anyone know the name of the song starting at 7:37??? Thank you!
Dance With Me
Thank you Allen! I really like the song and will attempt to learn it soon. @@AllenShadd
That guitar sounds amazing. I wondering, does a guitar that old still hold tune well? Is the intonation and action good?
Vintage guitars do require a little more expertise to be set up properly, but a good luthier can make them play and intonate as well as a new guitar.
Great guitar and playing! How does it compare to the '37, or are they beyond comparison? :)
Two different guitars, for sure. Both were great. In fact, with three of us here playing them together one afternoon, it was hard to choose. But in the end, I preferred the '35, while my two friends preferred the '37.
❤❤❤😮😮😮
Was this built before or after the famous Tony Rice D28 Martin #58957?
I believe after, but if you have questions you should send Dale (the owner) an email.
Jordan am a hard road to travel?
Sounds great but out of my price range☹️
I understand, believe me.
Ya notice any differences between some the prewar and post war dreadnoughts.
Great guitar, but thats all.
