As two of the most dedicated students of guitar, Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge chat about the gear they use on tour and to record. Specifically, how the pairing of a 1937 Martin D-18 with a 1939 Martin 000-18 allow their tone and style to compliment each other.

Love it!! That was a fantastic video. So much talent

[@brianj4090]

2 of the best do ever do it. Julian is in a world of his own imo and imo Chris’ touch is only 2nd to Mollys. I love them all. Great to hear them talk about their instruments.

[@mbsnyderc]

When does Julian Lage ever play just okay.

[@pinsk94]

mbsnyderc To play like his okay is my dream lol!!!!!

[@manifestgtr]

When you get to that level, I think it’s more about minor, personal details which you feel. It doesn’t mean much to the listener. 95% of it is in the player’s mind.

[@onixtheone]

When he’s tuning

[@andorrasrevenge1683]

That’s such a good point!

[@JPM-NM]

And now Chris DOES have a dreadnaught that behaves like Julian's Collings. In fact it was built by Collings. Saw him playing it in September of this year.

[@dangreenwood]

James Macklin Yes! I saw this as a big hint.

[@G_Demolished]

That’s his slumming guitar so he can leave the D28 at home.

[@tonyarcuri8969]

Love my om Collings guitars

[@larryadams1873]

Sounds like Chris need to got Austin and have them build you a modern copy of your fave dread. Julian seems pretty happy with his Collings.

[@jimmythefish]

Just an FYI, at 0:23 that's a D28, not the D18 he's referring to.

[@brianjudd2801]

True that. It has herringbone trim.

[@adriannasanchez468]

Wrong picture, I'm sure he uses an 18

[@JohnDuncanfiddler]

I'm pretty sure in that picture he is holding Charles Sawtelle's 1937 D-28

[@dawsontummins3909]

He’s holding a D-28 in that picture at 0:23, but he does play an 18 on the record. I’m sure.

[@mauimikey2491]

I love my Collings👍

[@captainkangaroo4301]

Yes I have two Collings. D2HA-SB and an OM2HAC-SB. Both with rosewood and Adirondack. Best sounding and playing guitars I’ve ever owned.

[@drummerboy1390]

Me too. OM1AV.

[@alanoffer]

M’y old 50 dollar Yamaha just couldn’t be in the same room as those guitars .

[@nellatrab]

The dread overpowers the OM in these sessions.

[@writereducator]

Just for fun, look up how much a Collings costs!

[@justinray9895]

I've played a few Collings over the years and I'd take my HD-28 over everyone of them!

[@tten8192]

how the FUCK did he afford that thing in college???

[@Danilo8208SS]

When you can play like he does, people are happy to sell you an instrument.
