Your "Guitar Town" album is what inspired me to take up guitar back in the eighties. I still suck, but nevertheless I have somehow over the years inspired a couple of younger friends to learn guitar, and they are now much better at it than I am. So, I at least have that going for me. lol .......... Thank you, and thanks for creating this channel. Looking forward to even more videos from you.
I saw a 'halo round the moon' last month. First time I remember seeing one, and I was thrilled! This song's been rambling through my head since then. This is a brilliant idea for an on-going video concept.I love seeing these old guitars! Please keep doing them, Steve...
I hope you are healthy and doing well . We need you so much in this world. I saw you in Nashville at Bluebird Cafe.....hVe loved you and your music for years. Jesus and I both love love you beyond what you can comprehend. Please take care of your health and your soul... Thank you for making my life much more interesting with your talent.
OMG Tipitina's was the first time I saw you. I was front row. Talking to some guy because I love to talk as much as you do. He points and says, "Steve Earle". I turned and you stopped almost in front of me. All I could say was, "Oh shit". Speechless. I was already in love with the young and middle-aged Steve Earle. That night I fell in love with this one. You are amazing. And I'm just getting started.
Hi Steve, hope you can come back to New Zealand again when the virus allows. I listen to you everyday and went to both of your last shows here! I'm a guitar fanatic too
Steve... I hope given the fact that you are going through some stuff that you are hanging in there. You are amazing and I have always been a supporting fan! RJB-
Steve, You are somewhat of an icon here in the UK - almost a god of country. So many of my friends play your songs at 'open mics.' My daughter won't let me play 'Goodbye' she finds it lovely but too sad?!
Hey Steve, My wife and I, as a hobby play guitar, and your music is some of what we like to play. we are from NC (Lenoir) and i'm from TN(Mountain City). As A Teen I played with a bunch of people at wataga lake. anyway my wife and I have wondered where exactly is the Hillbilly Highway ? We Love Your Videos and look forward to seeing more of them. Thanks
Just found this.....Damn, longtime fan Steve. Had hoped to see you again in Paso Robles Ca this July but, "Carona" has its impact on everyone. Please try and come back to the central coast as its been some years sceice I've seen the hardcore trubador. Also, great post. Now, going to your channel and binge your other posts. ✌ and thanks for the musical journey.
There is an 1886 model 2-24 for sale near me. So want it. Got that "Fancy herringbone inlay" as Steve says. Smaller headstock damage but that is History.
Greetings from VA and hope you have a great Father's day. This is a beautiful guitar and really love that old rosewood. I'm glad you are hitting on the history of Martin and as far as these old guitars go how do you keep them from drying and cracking? Damp sponge in a baggy? I heard it works good. Also, do you typically string all these guitars with 11's?
Be very careful how you humidify your guitars. Be sure that the 'sponge' in your baggie does not leak or you will have water in your guitar. I use Nomad brand exclusively after a very expensive lesson.
pre-1923 (I think) martins werent braced for modern steel strings. so you would use (today) nylon or very very light silk & steels. when this guitar was made they were using gut strings!
That baby Martin is so nice Steve. Would love to know if you have the pair of Copperhead Road Gibson both electric and acoustic that you talked about once on some show from back then?
I'd like to get buried in a coffin case. They might have to squidge me up some. Hell, a gig bag would do. A new set of strings would be good. Longlife ones. I might be dead a while...
Cool guitars. Pretty sound. The necks look pretty wide on those guitars or is it just me? I have short fingers so it isn't easy to reach around to play it, or maybe I am just not doing it right? Love the pearl buttons. The song, sometimes I think I am the ghost.
I'm curious, does a guitar collector detune them when they are stored and not used... how often would Steve be putting new strings on? ...to show and play or when he's recording?
I wonder if Steve Earle has ever made a bad song lol? I mean I’ve listened to loads of his stuff and every song is brilliant. How cool is the artwork on his album covers? They really knew what they were doing back then. Re Steve’s comments about Brazilian rosewood and what they used back then as oppose to the stuff with all the swirly patterns used now. I’ve noticed this type of thing before with the Victorians and them going for the practical and useful thing over beauty.
Great guitar and a song that seems perfect for the guitar. I think most of the buttons on the tuners from that time were bone, ivory reserved for a few very fancy machines. That one shows what I mentioned on the post for the 1-28, there was not the same attempt to fill the pores during the shellac application so you get a buildup of polish etc. over time. Not the same as the 1890's 1-28 Looking forward to more guitars and songs.
@@tonylittle2744 Jesus man I can hardly recognized him, what happened to him? How on Earth can you go from Madison Square Garden to TH-cam? I am sorry if I am mean but I remember him from that Copperhead Road album....great album.

Steve Earle talking about guitars is exactly what I want and need.

Loving the history lesson. Can't wait to see and hear more!
Beautiful guitars. And Steve Earle had been an inspiring human being to me for many years.

Steve, I am loving this channel - love seeing your collection of guitars (and the books behind you too).

Jesus and I both love love you beyond what you can comprehend.

Incredible. We're so lucky to have Steve do these videos.

Great video! Thanks Steve!
Another great one. Halo round the moon is one of favs. Great show. I'm in Northern Ireland by the way. You reach far.
Looking good Steve! Thanks for the Video, very interesting. Martin should give you a stipend!

Unbelievable. 1870's. Did y'all hear that thing?
It's got that thing!!!

Your sound was better this time. Thanks for turning it up a bit.
Hi, Steve. This may be in ignorance, but what type of strings do you use on such an old and beautiful instrument?
Ones that dont mess up the frets and fretboard
Probably light to medium guage too
pre-1923 (I think) martins werent braced for modern steel strings. so you would use (today) nylon or very very light silk & steels. when this guitar was made they were using gut strings!
That baby Martin is so nice Steve. Would love to know if you have the pair of Copperhead Road Gibson both electric and acoustic that you talked about once on some show from back then?
Boost the sound please! Very interesting!
You like Professor Longhair? I do. Now i need to go look up Tipitinas Foundation
I'd like to get buried in a coffin case. They might have to squidge me up some. Hell, a gig bag would do. A new set of strings would be good. Longlife ones. I might be dead a while...
Wax that thang. She sings like a Diva. PEACE
Cool guitars. Pretty sound. The necks look pretty wide on those guitars or is it just me? I have short fingers so it isn't easy to reach around to play it, or maybe I am just not doing it right? Love the pearl buttons. The song, sometimes I think I am the ghost.
Nice, the sound was a lot better.
I'm curious, does a guitar collector detune them when they are stored and not used... how often would Steve be putting new strings on? ...to show and play or when he's recording?

The Boy Who Never Cried, Condi, Condi and Valentine Day. But 3 out of 200 Plus isn't a bad record.
Great guitar and a song that seems perfect for the guitar. I think most of the buttons on the tuners from that time

Not the same as the 1890's 1-28 Looking forward to more guitars and songs.
Svelte earle LOVE to play with Her daughter 🦃👑💄❤💞💗🐺💘⚾️🐘🎂👿
In the event you're reading this... I think it's time for Amerika V. 7.0
sorry Steve, it is too soft. I can't hear the first 6 minutes. Please turn up your volume and speak into the mic.
Is this THE Steve Earle from Copperhead Road?
Oh yes.
@@tonylittle2744 Jesus man I can hardly recognized him, what happened to him? How on Earth can you go from Madison Square Garden to TH-cam? I am sorry if I am mean but I remember him from that Copperhead Road album....great album.
Well 32 years, 15 studio albums and about 2000 gigs happened to him. You look the same like you did in 1988?
Steve...move the capo up one fret and it is more in our vocal range. I play it capoed at fret one using A, D E. I just can't sing forcefully that low.
