I found an amazing, all original Martin D-28. I told them to not sell it. It was being sold by a 14 year old(@joshualovesbluegrass). He was selling it so that he could buy his own D-35.

The real story here is Grandad selling his D 28 that he's owned for 53 years. And doing it to help his grandkids. Deep respect. He's also a fine player.
"Do I need to count this?" Damn. There are some good people in the world and these are a few of 'em.
“Perfect at the house when I’m by myself” 😂 I felt that
Connected on a spiritual level there
That kid is so respectful, talented and speaks like a grown man. I'm impressed. If I had the money I'd buy it and save it for him when he gets older so he could buy it back once paw paw is gone and hes an adult. I own all three of my grandfathers guitars so I know how important it is
YES, I HOPE HE KEPT IT! THE YEAR I WAS BORN ! ❤I REALLY HOPE HE KEEPS IT? IM NOT DONE WATCHING ....... Peace ✝️ love ❤️ and human 🌈 🌎 kindness! GOT A GRANDAUGHTER? LOL 😂 Kim-n-Carolina.
MUCH LOVE!

I was fully in the "he can't sell it" camp right up until I heard Joshua describe his pastor's D35. 14 or not, he's a real player and he knows what he wants to play. He clearly needed to own that 35. The memory of standing side by side with grandpa when he sold his D28 to help Joshua buy the 35 will live with him forever. Awesome story.
He's going to want that back years from now after his grandpa is gone
I think you're right.
He should've kept it. It's a memento for the grampa
FACT
Sure thing
He might, but I don't think so. He's having the guitar he wants and he'll be perfectly happy with it. When he's older he may think of the value of the D28, but his grandpa made it very clear that he has four grandchildren. The kid will understand. In fact, he will always share this moment with his granddad. A granddad with a lot of love for all of his guitar playing grandchildren. Is there a better way to remind him of his generosity than this? I don't think so.
A future Billy Strings right there. If he ever wants it back, let him buy it.
My thoughts exactly, gotta sell it back to him as an adult to complete the amazing tale.
Such genuine, honest people. Made me smile when grandpa said "I don't know no sheppards"...the beauty of small town living all of your life. Really, really enjoyed this, thanks!
This whole thing is so wholesome. Really shows how music can bring people together.
3 out of 4 grandkids playing is incredible. that grandfather must be so proud! what a charismatic and talented young man.
People that kept their guitar for the entire life knew what life is.This guitar tells a story.
So I should buy MORE guitars because I don’t know how many grand kids I’ll have. 👍
I need no less than 15 top tier guitars, for the grandkids. What am I a monster?!
When your wife gets pissed when she sees another guitar coming through the door, just say "I'm doing this for the grandkids!"
I’m gonna go with this plan!!
I think everyone needs a minimum 9 acoustic guitars. This would be 3 groups of 3 (each group sounds different) and you need 3 of each in case something happens to one and it needs to go in the shop. You must stay prepared for any type of guitar emergency.
Just don't buy any cell phones, Xboxes and PCs - they cost you a fortune today, tomorrow you pay even more...to somebody to take them away....
Joshua, if you ever read this, I would like to tell you one thing: enjoy your time with your grandfather. He sure seems like a really nice guy and hopefully this new guitar you got will stay with you 50+ years and will make you think of your grandpa. Cheers.
I sure will my grandads is the real deal and I know everyone thinks it's bad he sold his guitar for me but y'all don't know the other part of the story my grandad also sold it to get him a better guitar he told me it was worth to much to keep so I told him if he can get one that's more bluegrassy to go for it.
@@joshualovesbluegrass9422
Yeah, I was worried your granpa wouldn't have anything to play. What's he lookin at gettin?
Get some new stuff up on your channel!🤘😀
@@paulboden7850 Thank you so much He is looking at getting a D-28 herenbone
@@joshualovesbluegrass9422
Now that's exciting news!
I hope Jeremy will follow this. Anyway, I salute you and your grandpa for making fine bluegrass music and also your loyalty to Martin Guitars.
Absolutely sad to see a man departing with his first love but so happy to see how proud it makes his grandson. If only you could hold on to it for many many years and I bet his grandson would be calling you back and saying, “Do you still have that guitar that you bought off my grandpaw? “
My grandpa refused to speak to me as a child because my parents eloped. His first words to me were when i was 19: "Can you pass the butter?" I've had a great life, but I wish I had a grandpa in my life. That is an incredible blessing!
Wow, I’m sorry to hear that.
Ps My Dad sold his 1930s Martin cause he needed $$ before he married in 1947 but he always had a guitar or 2, but not like that Martin. He wanted a Gibson, we got him one & he played till age 98 1/4.
Came back to see this one after seeing the ending. Fantastic.
I'm impressed with the kid. He knows his stuff and is a good player.
I love everything about this whole experience. Hearing them talk about Jesus watching them and the stories. This is special!
Lucky find. I have a 1976 D-28 that I bought brand new. My youngest son is playing it now. My brother still owns the D-35 that he bought a week after I bought my D-28.
There is so much to love about this video...Grandad realised that Joshua would get more out of a guitar he really loved & wanted to share its value with his other grandkids. You were an absolute gent with the deal once you’d established they DID want to sell it (thank whatever you believe in that the first guy didn’t show up!). Great to see that Joshua got his prized Martin shortly after - what a player he is! There should be more dealers like you dude.
What a great kid , obviously raised well. Great story .
well I came back to this video as you said on the third one. Im not done yet but wanted to thank you for not editing out Jesus. man that made my day.
Subscribed as soon as I watched this video. Pulls on the heart strings...So much love in a mans heart when he is willing to give up a treasure for his grandkids.
What I love and appreciate about you, Jeremy, is the integrity you showed. Obviously, as a trader you need to make money but you did not rip them off. Everyone was happy. Great job!
I got my 1966 d 28 when I was 14 in 1974, still play it at least once a week, my son can’t wait to get it from me and I can’t wait to pass it on 😎
I wish my grandfather had a Martin.
Me too! My grandkids will have a grandpa with several.
I wish I had a grandfather
I’ve got a ‘77 and when I go(not soon I hope)somebody finds a great player
@@Foe1971 I had one years ago! Now I are one myself! Time does that to you!😎
@@JeremySheppard
Don't count your chickens before they hatch , life can change at any moment.
Jeremy, I enjoy watching your videos for the guitars but also for the life lessons and warm presentation. You treated them very well. Amazing story all around everyone involved. 👍🏾
Jeremy, you're a good guy. Nice to know there are still honest and considerate people like you around. All the best.
wonderful.....everybody's happy..........God bless America, from UK
Wow mate,I instantly fell in love with that family.Just good honest hard working people.That young man has been brought up well and he’s a heck of a player.Big respect for you too Jeremy,their is something in the water down there.👍🏼👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really glad I found this channel. Great fascinating video. The kid is awesome and his grandpa is a very kind guy
Just finished watching the “returning” video. It’s nice to know someone is doing the same thing and feeling the same way I do about these situations. Thank you for sharing this story and spreading love in the world ! ☮️
Give the guitar back to the kid when he is a little bit older.
My bride and I have two college-age girls. I'm 53 now and just received my new Martin D41 last week. It is by far the nicest guitar I've played in 30+ years of gigging and is my heirloom guitar for my girls. Watching this guy with his grandson, and the thought of sharing this guitar with my future grandchildren had me bawling like an overly-emotional old guy. Thanks for taking the time and for sharing a wonderful story. ✌👉
Man what an amazing story and experience! Thanks for sharing it for us all to enjoy!
I didn’t find a vintage Martin, but I found a 2015 Gpcpa4, which has been discontinued. I’m 72 any I’ve been playing on inexpensive guitars for a long long time. Now I have a real quality Martin. Now I better live to 100 and enjoy my fine instrument.
Awesome Video! I live in the same town you do, we are lucky to have so many good people in our valley. Thanks for sharing!
I feel sad watching this video.
I did the same thing with my first ever guitar, for financial reasons (and it wasn’t a martin), 10 years apart, and I was so happy that I could find it again and buy it back.
I have a feeling that this young man will regret real bad the selling of this instrument.
I discovered you when you only had about 700 subs. I see you are moving on up! I love your content and I hope you get to 1,000,000 soon!
It has that sound. All acoustic players know it. It's just called that sound.
Kids first strum put me in a tingled state. That right there proved its authenticity. It sounds so good!
amazing story. amazing Guitar. you handled this deal with such integrity. literally, tears welling in my eyes.
Watch the next videos! We fix it up and give it back.
@@JeremySheppard oh man, that did not disappoint. I went to Joshua's channel and sub'd. looks like he hasn't been active in a while. I hope they are all doing well. Thanks again for sharing that amazing story
I would encourage you to keep in touch with the family so that if you ever wanted to sell the guitar, you could give him first shot at it. I don't play bluegrass either. I'm pretty much a finger style player. I love my D-28, even though I know I'm supposed to play a different model.
What makes me tear up a bit, is the win win of this story creating another chapter in an organic life of the guitars life journey.
That is one of the most attractive acoustic guitars I've ever seen! Great sounding too! No surprise there!
I have already subscribed to Joshua's Channel. So, I won't have enough time to watch yours! Well, I'll squeeze you in!
Thanks Jeremy. As always, the human story is best shared to all.
Cool show and segment! I have my father's '70something Guild that he bought and played for my sisters and family and I growing up. He wrote most of his songs on it and for the last few years I've written the songs I've always dreamed of writing on it and love to play. It'll go when I go...and playing it for just a minute is the last thing I do before I go to bed every night. Sobriety and the Guild were key in saving and changing my life for the better. God bless you brother. You're a good man Charlie Brown. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
I like the way you do business, a true credit to yourself and your upbringing, thank you!
Jeremy, what a very special story and thank you for sharing it with us. And Josh, you are a great young player and you make all of us older guitar players proud to see your talent on display here. In the 70's I would buy what have now become expensive vintage electric and acoustic guitars from the 1950's and 60's which were frequently advertised in our local newspaper. Every once in awhile I would keep one of those guitars for 5-10 years but more often I would end up selling or trading them to friends who also played guitar. It was a constant carousel of guitars so seeing Grandpa here having bought a new Martin D28 for $400 in 1967 and having held on to it for all those years is just a wonderful story and reminds me of what I wish I'd done with some of the gems that passed through my hands. Maybe Josh will keep that D-35 for 53 years!
PS. Jeremy, call up Josh one day and take him to the Martin Guitar Factory in Nazareth PA, It will be the trip of a lifetime for you both.
This is real cool. This is a great series, guitar trades and the stories of their owners and the instruments themselves. Its a great was to tell a lot of untold stories about America.
That was a lovely trade, Jeremy - Grandparents are beautiful people.
Great video, it gives me hope to see young men like this being so respectful. I'll be subscribing to Joshua's channel for sure.
I’ll say it again… you meet some of the nicest people playing Bluegrass! Very best wishes to Josh! I first heard Bluegrass when I was a teenager. I’m now 66 and still playing avidly on a ‘64 D-18. This music is such a gift.
That was incredibly heartwarming story, and a heartbreaking decision, at the same time.
Hey man, what an great guitar. Thanks for introducing us to Joshua. So awesome to see such talent at that age. Sad to see his grandpa sell it but Joshua looks to be really happy with his new guitar and he sure looks and sounds super smooth on that 35! Great video.
Thank you so much
I love this video. As soon as I heard your montage at 18:50 I literally felt so emotional. That is the sound. I long for that sound and it's just nothing quite like Brazilian rosewood. Thank you for this video :)
Joshua doesn't want to let go that part of his grandpa. You can see it in his eyes. He looks real happy playing his new one though... LOL!
cjcar63 I also have a Martin D-28 from my grandpa. I think it’s a 1980 and it means the world to me
Great story and great video. Such good people. Amazing sounding guitar too.
That is a great tale. Really enjoyed the story and your read on it. Cheers Sir!
What a great kid and grandpa! Gives me hope for the world.
what a great grandpa, thinking of all his grandkids.
Jeremy, I really enjoyed this great guitar adventure !! What a legacy piece.
great story, thx man...keep up. I really love watching your vids
That was a sweet story the Grandpa told and the little boy was so cute. He could really play that thing. The Grandpa is close to my age. My first job paid $1.40 per hour until someone reported my boss to the state after working there a year and then he had to pay me back pay and a nice sized fine when he should have been paying me $1.50 per hour! Anyway, I bought an acoustic guitar over 40 years ago and it sat in the box. About 4 years ago, I was in a book store looking at a book about learning how to play guitar and a friend told me if I promised to learn how to play guitar, he would buy me the book. He did and I did. I learned how to play guitar just over 3 years ago. I sold that one, upgraded to a better one and then sold that one and upgraded to an even better one. Now I own 4 guitars (Two Acoustic Electrics and two electric guitars) and had to stop myself from buying more. My prized guitar is a nice Zager built by Mr. Zager himself (In the Year 2525) that's a bit over 3 years old now and sounds better each day. John
Lovely story Jeremy, what an adorable (and talented) young man -- your videos provide so much spiritual inspiration (and yes, lots of cool guitars) -- much love from a fellow Virginian
This is one of my favorite vids from you. So good.
The kid is a virtuoso compared to me at the same age.
He is a virtuoso compared to me at ANY age.
Well ; SOLD! 😢 MAN YOUR PLAYING IS AWESOME ! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SOUND ! WOW ❤ 54 yrs old ; i wish i had aged as well as that guitar 🎸......wow THAT BABY IS SWEET! GOT BETTER WITH AGE!!
Absolutely stunning guitar, man. Love the story too.
I love my 67 D28. Bought it new in Boston. This video touched my heart. Subscribed.
Great story. You have a beautiful soul. Keep up the amazing work.
I've got the feeling this great story will continue someday …
Great Video....Glad you got it and I appreciate you attempting to get them to keep it. Joshua will want it back one day I promise! Great young man and what a Grandpa! Really great story and I am going to check his channel out. God Bless
Not to worry. I’ve got Joshua’s back.
Kids a better guitar player than i was at 14 . Great story, great guitar. Really nice family.
How refreshing is this. What a polite teenager, seems rare these days.
Jeremy, Great video and story! The D28 sounds wonderful.
Oh, man! Americans just seem so darn friendly. This is just lovely to watch. Congratulations on the new guitar.
i'm crying right now as I'm about to buy a new guitar after not having one for a year (thinking I didn't need it). I've never missed a guitar as much as I do that first one I bought with my own money. Gave it to someone who I knew would play it and love it as much as I did. can't wait to have a Martin 000-15M in my possession and love that one forever. It's my dream guitar, since I'm still just an amateur. Thanks for the video. I remember when I was Josh and just trying to advance my skill with a good guitar
I felt like a fly on a wall and I loved every second of it!
Hope the kid can buy it back some day. Joshua hopefully makes it big and then gives you an offer you can’t refuse 😉
You should see how this story ends. It's even better than that. Check out the other videos in the playlist. I sold it then we go and play with Raymond (grandpa)
@@JeremySheppard how do I find video you are speaking of?
I cannot play one note (nor sing a note, hum a note, nada) but always loved hearing my husband play. I do not even know ___?____ age or kind, wood etc Martin he owns, given to him by his mother. He has an Epson he bought when he was in college
(Hubby is almost 71 and he has taken excellent care of both)
I want to do ALL the justice (my best) to his Martin & Epson possible. I want someone that will love them the way my husband did. Both our children have passed and our grands are not interested. I am searching for a way to honor husband, his guitars ... it would be nice to somehow help a rising & hardworking, upcoming star.
How do I begin to find out about each?
I have my grandfather’s 1958 Gibson LG-O and it is NOT for sale. 😀 All mahogany top, back, and sides. Great guitar. Sounds killer and is very loud. I play it every Sunday at church and throughout the week. This was a great story you shared here Jeremy and the kid could play a little. Grandpa was a nice gentleman as well and is encouraging the grandsons in music. Pretty cool. That Martin sounds like a cannon by the way and I feel you got a good deal on a great, old guitar. I liked your advice and attitude and you seem to be very respectful in your dealings with other people. Great video!
My grandfather left me a 1947 00-18. Wouldn’t sell it for anything
Jeremy You have my admiration & respect for your honesty in trying to convince them not to sell!!!!!!! The young man may indeed wish that he had that guitar back after his grandpa passes, but he will also have a great experience & memory of buying a new Martin with his grandpa & that's worth just as much. You did nothing wrong & the ppl condemning you in the comments are wrong in doing so. Congratulations on the find & if you keep it, I hope you thoroughly enjoy the many yrs of music left in it!!!!!!!
Thats one of my dream guitars right there! Awesome find and story.
For anyone who thinks Joshua is great here, you HAVE to go over and see his own videos at "Joshua loves bluegrass". He not only sings too, but you find out that guitar isn't even his best instrument. When you hear him play mandolin you know what a real star he is.
Great story and guitar! Thanks for sharing.
I was blessed today by this. Encouraging to see a young Christian man play like that, with a good grandpa to look up to.
That boy sure can play that guitar 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 He’s lucky to have a great grandpa like that God bless him👍🏻 It’s a beautiful guitar by the way That sound😍
What a beautiful sharing of getting this great legend. Grandpa bought it new. Grandson plays like a champ and now parting with it. Knowing what it is to share something special with a grandson, I can understand the significance here. Not to mention that Joshua is selling to move up to another level. This kid can play no doubt. Thank you for sharing this.
You should watch the other 3 videos. This story is amazing
Beautiful guitar and story, thank you!
Another great story.....beautiful guitar, real good people and man that kid can play !
You scored Very well there. That guitar is a cannon, so warm and sweet. That would kick the majority of $10,000 plus guitars out there.
It's Aug. 2020 now. I found a 2003 D-28 on Reverb in June I knew I just had to have. I knew this guitar was what I really was looking for. It took dozen's of other guitars, thousands of hours, & thousands of dollars for me to get that in the pocket feeling. The guitar had been factory refreshed & Plecked in 2016. It was at the price where it was worth getting. Why spend $2500 on a used when you can get new for $3 g's? This guitar was under $2 g's & I thought because of the work done on it at the time it was done, worth the price. I feel blessed, lucky, chosen, & happy playing my Martin D-28.
Your best video yet!! Such a standup, honest human being.
Thanks, Shawn.
Jeremy, you are the most honest guy I have ever seen in my life, why tell them your second offer from the get go, I know why you did it and I respect that. great man you are.....................
Really love this whole video!! Great content!!
I don’t know why I love this so much but man this was wonderful
Thanks for sharing that story.
Amazing Video.. good stuff Josh
