I love the sound of that guitar wow nicely balanced sound on mids and bass ,Hoping your feeling better everyday Norm it was Great to see you back in your wonderful shop cheers man !!!
Great history lesson, Brandon. This is one of the many reasons I love watching your videos. Another reason is to hear Michael plays these amazing instruments. So happy Norm is back in the shop. Really missed his face!!
Wow that guitar sounds so good, just watching on my phone and it sounded like Lemmo was playing in my living room! Great job you guys, Brandon, Lemmo, and the awesome Jen! So glad to see Norm back! Just take it easy Norm. I beat esoph. Cancer back in 2014, only given 30% survival after aggressive treatments but 8 years later still living cancer free! My daily thoughts and prayers for you Norm…Blessings!
Professor Brandon on tech, Lemmo doing what he does best, One beautiful sounding instrument and Videographer extraordinaire Jen behind the scenes. Norms never disappoints! That made my Friday just that much better. Enjoy the weekend my friends.
I love being able to watch these videos everyday to see if this is going to be my next guitar I seek out. And I greatly greatly appreciate learning all of the specs about these wonderful guitars. Sending love to everyone 💕💖😊
That guitar aaked you to play the way you do, it came to life and the tone was huge! Also, both songs sounded like something Phoebe Bridgers could write
Brilliant and impressive presentation, made with passion. Thanks Dudes, and thanks to Norman to have made possible to introduce all the world some incredible instruments. So warms regards to you Norman, I wish you to get better sincerely from my heart. Thanks again. -- From France.
Like playing guitar in your kitchen - you hear all the dreadnought size bass, Shorter scale more open sounding very good for finger pickers a strong dynamic sound. Historic background is interesting and it sounds fantastic. Another great flat top Friday - your mics capture the guitars sound well, do justice to these fine instruments. Shout out to the unseen hero - Jen and all the norms crew (+ Norm) the Cat...plug etc
What a beautiful sounding guitar 🎸, leave it to Martin's Costom shop.It sounds loud,clean and crisp.Thank you for sharing. All the best to Norm's fast road to recovery 👍.
Beautiful sounds, big sound deep tone, a very good FTF. Hope Norm enjoys it as well. Brandon did a really good history lesson. Sure a build sheet could be found with the S/N reference. Take care. Stay safe.
theres the nerdy stuff I've been missing. not quite as good as good ole Mark but pretty dang close. i appreciate it either way. man did that thing sound amazing. incredible songs are in that guitar waiting to be transcribed.
To browse norman's rare guitars in 10 or 15 minutes sounds tough. Beautiful big sound. A blues standard (nobody knows you when you're down and out) played and song by your own Sarah Rogo on that guitar would be amazing. Great job with the explanation you guys make a great team not quite (edibles at night)maybe tea in the afternoon ahh well thanks guys. Awsome as always my shirt size is a large lol
Searched for one of these great guitars for 5 years. Lucky enough to find a 2001 HD28VS in Denmark St, London. They really are bit special,very deep and warm but if you like a narrow neck then these are not for you.
I heard on the video you have a competition on pics taken with Norms T-shirt in unusual places n there was a Internet address to send it too please post again 👍🏻
I' ve got a fast life and A slow cuttin' knife I've been drinkin' at a poisoned well No home Im a bag of bones And nothin' else left to sell I know why I'm in this hell I just don't wanna believe Past that line you just can't tell But right now There's someone lookin' out for me I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand I got one more shot at livin' I'm lucky that I can Cause I got a little roughed up Yeah I really got fucked up I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand I got a cold steel wound still there But there ain't much left to bleed A short fuse that I still use I'm my own worst enemy Stare at the faces I once knew lined up just to bury me There's a long black car that's waitin' to leave But right now There's someone looking out for me I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand I got one more shot at livin' I'm lucky that I can Cause I got a little roughed up Yeah I really got fucked up I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand Cause I got a little roughed up With a bullet in my hand Yeah I really got fucked up With a bullet in my hand Can you see the lie? Can you see the lie? Can you see the lie? I can see the lie I can see the lie There's someone looking out for me I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand I got one more shot at livin' I'm lucky that I can Cause I got a little roughed up Yeah I really got fucked up I came out of the darkness With a bullet in my hand
Hi Lemmo, I'm a scientist and doc. Just to let you guys know that having a higher turnover by limiting to 15 minutes for people can increase chances of infection. This promotes larger numbers of people which increases the statistical chance of someone being inflected knowingly or unknowingly being in the shop. You might think of having everyone do check with forehead temperature and wear mask would increase then would help increase the safety. The newest COVID viruses are over 100 times more infectious than the original one. That is hugely significant. These are just suggestions. I know you want the best for the man! Nice history lesson. Lemmo killing with it on that great sounding Martin. I wonder what year it was made.
I’m sorry I thought Mary was a spencer , and I just look at one of her vlogs and her last name is spender , nice thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen for Norman be thier , nice 👍 BigAl California
Bro really? What is it with you guys. I doubt they'll miss you btw 😂. I lost my god dam father and who was also my best friend to Covid. Stop making jokes about it. I never saw him again . And I took it lightly too. Idgaf if you think masks work, let it go. I'll never get over the loss. I'm not into vaccines either so don't start labeling me
Wow, what a beautiful sound....and playing!
I love the sound of that guitar wow nicely balanced sound on mids and bass ,Hoping your feeling better everyday Norm it was Great to see you back in your wonderful shop cheers man !!!
Flat-top Friday rules! Professor Soriano sharing all the knowledge, Michael getting those chords and notes out to our ears, Jen capturing it all. ✌🏼
Great history lesson, Brandon. This is one of the many reasons I love watching your videos. Another reason is to hear Michael plays these amazing instruments. So happy Norm is back in the shop. Really missed his face!!
Definitely one of the best martin sound i ever heard
The bass man… 🤩
Wow that guitar sounds so good, just watching on my phone and it sounded like Lemmo was playing in my living room! Great job you guys, Brandon, Lemmo, and the awesome Jen! So glad to see Norm back!

My daily thoughts and prayers for you Norm…Blessings!
This, this is exactly my style when it comes to guitars. Martin, mahogony, slotted headstock, 12-fret dreadnought. My absolute dream
That guitar has a Great Melodic sound. Michael does it Justice with Jenn filming, what a Powerhouse Duo, Whoooo!
Hooked from the first note!
You ain't kidding.
Same here. Full of tone.

Great demo. Listening with headphones on it’s like being at a concert!
That thing has its own reverb effect!
What a beautiful sounding guitar 🎸, leave it to Martin's Costom shop.It sounds loud,clean and crisp.Thank you for sharing. All the best to Norm's fast road to recovery 👍.
Oliver Ditson??!! Brandon just geeked me out. Great work by the three of you, as always. Oh yeah, the guitar sounds awesome.
When life gives you a Lemmo,give him a guitar and enjoy the music!
Very nice sounding guitar , thanks Lemmo great demo 🤪☮️ glad the store is ‘open’ again 🖖
Brandon is awesome. I could listen to him rattle off specs and knowledge for hours.
Yes! More history and deep info on specs, please! Sort of like how Mark used to do. Killer guitar and great playing as usual!
Dang this one sounds sweet!
Lemmo is such a class act and class player.
What a beautiful sound
Goodnite! That clarity from that Martin is great.
Beautiful sound! I’m jealous you guys get to play so many cool guitars. Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
i really liked the shirt that Branden was wearing. now i know what all be getting me and my son for Christmas.
Great guitar
Mike's look in the thumbnail: "you're going to like the way it sounds, I guarantee it".
Wow!, such a fat resonating sound!
What a sound
Beautiful sounds, big sound deep tone, a very good FTF. Hope Norm enjoys it as well. Brandon did a really good history lesson. Sure a build sheet could be found with the S/N reference. Take care. Stay safe.

Now if it isn't sold yet. Would be a really great addition to my others
Oh cool.
Wow! That is one amazing sounding guitar....but then what doesn’t sound great when Lemmo plays it.....
Nice bit o’ history, loved it.
Would have loved to hear Needle and the Damage done or Harvest Moon or Into the Mystic.. Guitar was a gooden
In my opinion Martin guitars is a classic
Great video! That Brandon is such a smarty pants! Wowowow.,

it's essentially a recreation of Norman Blakes D18H
I heard on the video you have a competition on pics taken with Norms T-shirt in unusual places n there was a Internet address to send it too please post again 👍🏻
What were those tunes please?
What was the first song he played? Sounds familiar as hell just can't place it
wow, amazing sound of this guitar. how can i earn this guitarM
Mister Michael lemmo your as good as your guitar but you SIR are just as good as that guitar great playing
Perfect Spaghetti Western guitar.
I' ve got a fast life and
A slow cuttin' knife
I've been drinkin' at a poisoned well
No home Im a bag of bones
And nothin' else left to sell
I know why I'm in this hell
I just don't wanna believe
Past that line you just can't tell
But right now
There's someone lookin' out for me
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin'
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
Yeah I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got a cold steel wound still there
But there ain't much left to bleed
A short fuse that I still use
I'm my own worst enemy
Stare at the faces I once knew lined up just to bury me
There's a long black car that's waitin' to leave
But right now
There's someone looking out for me
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin'
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
Yeah I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
Cause I got a little roughed up
With a bullet in my hand
Yeah I really got fucked up
With a bullet in my hand
Can you see the lie?
Can you see the lie?
Can you see the lie?
I can see the lie
I can see the lie
There's someone looking out for me
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin'
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
Yeah I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
Looks like a D18VS custom. Just call Martin with the serial number
was that X

Personally I think 12 fret guitars always sound better. If you don't need the dusty end they're glorious
I’m sorry I thought Mary was a spencer , and I just look at one of her vlogs and her last name is spender , nice thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Christ grace amen for Norman be thier , nice 👍 BigAl California
I am little disappointed we didn’t actually here Eruption.
😁🖐
❤🤡❤
dont need the this episode preview...is it just me?
masks?
Mask? No thanks
💯
HOWEVER, I think in this case the mask is for Norm -- who is fresh out of the hospital. As a courtesy to the man, I would consider.
Masks are proven to not work in any effective manner. Period. But for Norm, I'd oblige.
Sadly, they will miss the phat stack you were going to spend in the shop. 😂
Bro really? What is it with you guys. I doubt they'll miss you btw 😂. I lost my god dam father and who was also my best friend to Covid. Stop making jokes about it. I never saw him again .
