sounds amazing! and visually stunning
Congratulations Mary
I'm going to be in London later this year ... but in July, not September or October. Does anyone know if @MarySpender is performing anywhere then?
The OM 42 is been my dream guitar since I played a friends.
Very nice ma’am 👍
Yes. you're right. I would love to have an OM guitar.
What a gorgeous Martin. I work there and saw it go through the custom shop. Unfortunately, I didn't get to meet you but just thankful for your support of C.F. Martin. I'm sure you'll play the hell outta that acoustic! Cheers!
I know this is an OM but does anyone know how many OOO-42 makes a year?
mr taylor gave his company to his workers in 2019 a 15m a month company .,,bet you wish you worked for them
@@minstrelofMir Not really. That would mean having to live in the a-hole of Cali and I'm just not into living in a 3x cost of living state
It’s a beautiful instrument, Mary. You had the chance to make it your own before you first played it, and there’s just no way to understate how important the relationship between a performer and their instrument really is. I look forward to hearing more of the music you make together.
In addition to all the (well deserved) kudos to Mary for designing and sharing this guitar, let us tip our hat(s) to Martin for agreeing to work with Mary in crafting this beautiful instrument. Wishing Mary many years of joy making music!
The relationship with the people who build the instrument is such a privilege. Almost all of the objects we use are mass produced now but the process of working with a luthier is much like it must have been many generations ago. I've had a chance to do it with two different builders and I'm grateful for it.
Martin company told me that ny money would not purchase a custom shop guitar of my choosing. That i had to go through one of their dealers. That i could not buy it direct,or have it made with out going through a martin dealership. I just wonder did clapton,john mayer, all the great successful guitarst go through a dealership. No i dont think so. So i will spend my money with a different custom luthier. I have a 00 28 modern delux that just dosent perform the way it should. It never holds adequate tune to pitch,always 2 or 3 points flat or sharp. The break angle at the saddle almost flat lines . I think some one did a bad set up in the factory,or at sweetwater where i purchased it . A guitar at that price level if properly taken care of should be dependable and hold tune,and be a joy to play instead of a grueling ordeal to go on stage with.
It's probably the only guitar, ever, in the history of guitars to have a bicycle inlay!
Nope. I put one into a customers tele build about a decade ago. 'twas done on a budget so not as nice as Mary's tat copy though...
…and that’s a good thing 😂
Beautiful guitar
Just purchased a Martin 0012-28 Modern Deluxe. Everything I ever wanted since I held my first guitar in 1966.
Just a Few Short Days Ago. 🙂
Same… one year ago. I cycle through 6 guitars and pulled it out again yesterday. It’s sitting next to my D15 in my office because I like variety while I procrastinate 😂
Signature smignature.. that matching bicycle inlay is the real personal mark. What a beautiful detail 😍
I think anyone would like to own such a model, and this could be something new for Martin too. It's a guitar masterpiece.
Ah, you had me at slotted headstock. Incredible instrument. Congratulations!
FINALLY! I was wondering, when you would share the story of this guitar ever since I saw you play it for the first time. 😊
No one has ever held a guitar like this one. It's an exquisitely crafted instrument. Enjoy, and use it well.
A Martin with a slotted headstock and 14 frets: YAY! And it sounds seriously great, although much of that is the player.
Also, the bling comes off way more tastefull than the usual "42" and "45" models: the fingerboard and bridge inlays are perfect and keep the whole effect tasteful.
How about twisting Martin's arms to make an OM-21 with that headstock and an engleman top? It could be a Mary Spender Model for the rest of us, yet not impinge on the unique space of that instrument. PLEASE!!!!
You are a lucky woman to have that Martin. But then you worked hard for it and are so deserving. Congratulations.
Gorgeous guitar, lovely playing. As a cyclist I love the bicycle inlay!
A match made in heaven. I cannot think of a more worthy owner for this beautiful guitar.
I would be honored to have a “Mary Spender” Martin guitar!!😊
A beautiful instrument that really suits you. Your fingerstyle playing gets the best sound from it.
Congratulations, what a honor to have a personalized Martin
AN honour
What an experience. I got to tour the factory in around 1984. Played a D-35 and was hooked, but took me about 30 years to be able to afford one. Priceless experience you must have had customizing this instrument. Looks and sounds wonderful. You play so beautifully. Singing is so nice. My words don't really express it adequately. Congratulations. Great story, love it. Keep up the great work.
The elements of this guitar blow my mind. So well thought out. And yes, I love
how you thought about the lighting when picking the finish. You're such a TH-camr!
You earned that guitar, and it’s so beautiful to see it find you.
Oh my - when a guitar is an extension of the musician - in your case it would have to be a beautiful, stunning, impressive and unique instrument. This is incredible. Martin has delivered.
Just by listening to you speak, it is so obvious how proud and blessed you are to have such an incredible instrument designed and crafted for you. You have an incredible talent and the guitar has beautiful, warm and rich tones that truly compliment your amazing voice. Congratulation.
That is a gorgeous guitar 🎸!!! It sounds wonderful!!!!
Slow and steady wins the race.
All your hard work is paying off. You definitely deserve this moment. Congratulations on everything. Keep up the great work...
This guitar has a perfectly clear, balanced sound. Kudos to the builders.
Well done on your achievement with Martin, Mary! I look forward to hearing you play it in Bristol in September 2024!
Mary Spender and CF Martin. 2 great things that happened to acoustic guitar history
Clean acoustics, smooth lines, true craftsmanship.. you deserve it Mary as you are an accomplished musician with a passion for creative scores.
Beautiful smooth sound. The inlay is awsome. Everything is amazing. A lot has gone into this guitar, including the bicycle. Love it, it sounds like a full orchestra complete with violins.
Gosh, what a beautiful guitar! You deserve it!
I’ve actually been to the Martin Guitar co. Back in the late 60’s they were using Ebony, mahogany, rosewood, etc. The scraps were in the dumpster, yes I went dumpster diving 😊. I still have some of the scrap ivory the threw away. Mary your guitar is wonderful but in your hands it’s heavenly..
Wow!!! Beautiful guitar. Love the top and satin finish. The bicycle is a great personal link. Congrats Mary.
Since I have been finishing Wood Products all my life I will say for a instrument practically no finish except for a satin sealer uniformly sprayed... definitely sounds richer.
There’s nothing like an axe that is a joy to play.
You’re an amazing talent - that’s one Lucky Guitar !
May you have many fulfilling years together.
You are so worth this guitar. I would buy this instantly if I could afford it. ❤
Beautiful instrument. Though unable play a guitar (though a childhood flautist and tuba player, my fingers never could never get the finger movements right), I loved going on a factory tour at C.F. Martin as part of a work teambuilding trip in 2018. Watching the builders practicing their craft was amazing. So was meeting Chris in the museum after our tour and hearing those who knew how to play making wonderful music in the demo room.
I grew up going to the park for family reunions just blocks away from the factory never knowing it was there until well into my 30s (which was many, many years ago).
Martin is a treasure. I hope you’ll pay the Lehigh’s Valley a visit again to perform (cough, cough, Musikfest).
Amazing!
I had a student show up for a first lesson with a 1940s family Martin Guitar. It played and sounded amazing. Thanks for the videos and music.
Difficult to think of someone more deserving.
Gosh, Mary, I got emotional watching this. That guitar is so you. May you go on making incredible music for years to come! Much love, and God's blessings to you! ❤
Congratulations on your bespoke Martin! What a beautiful instrument! ❤❤
It's gorgeous! And, most importantly, it sounds great!!
Congrats Mary, I been watching and being inspired by your videos and work for years now. You have inspired me on my journey so much, I'm still early but moments like this are not only pivotal for you but for supporters and like-minded musicians like me. Thank you for these videos and sharing these experiences with us.
Stunning guitar in the hands of great player. Lovely. Nothing sounds like a Martin. I live a short distance from the factory and they are beautiful people. You are a lucky lady.
Congratulations Mary. It’s a beautiful Martin. Wishing you both many years of happiness together.
Stunning instrument! Congratulations Mary! Looking forward to hearing much new music in the future! Be well. Cheers!
The bear claws are beautiful, as is the rest of your wonderful guitar.
That's so amazing... Congrats!
That is one of the best sounding Martins I have ever heard. Tastefully appointed, not over done. It will sound even better year after year. The aging toner brings out the beautiful grain. So cool that you were able to pick out the wood. New Martins smell great. I like your Spire song as well, it sounds wonderful on that guitar! Play on!
Gorgeous guitar... that top is divine
Working with a luthier/friend to put your idea into a true piece of art is an amazing experience. I did it between ‘94-‘96 with Michael Lewis, Grass Valley, California. We (I say we killed a bear, but Michael shot it) based it on a 1938 000-42, like Clapton’s in Unpluged. We used Brazilian and Engleman spruce. With a little bear claw, and 000-42 inlay patterns. It was shown at Heildsburg in ‘96, before I had even had the chance to play it since it was finished. I performed with it in honkytonks and dives for 15 years. It’s been back and forth coast to coast a few times and to the Redneck Riviera at least 3 or 4 times a year. It’s been through 2 fires, one at my house and one at Micheal’s shop.
I was admiring it soon after it was finished and noticed a very thin metal outline of some of the inlay, and I asked Michael exact what kind of metal this was, so fine and shiny around the orchid? He said, “beer can”
Not only is it a work of art but it has a sound quality that is exceptional! Much deserved Mary!
One of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen. You made fantastic choices.
Congratulations on the amazing guitar! It's beautiful and you make it sound phenomenal!!!
What a beautiful guitar. Sounds wonderful.
Beautiful and sounds warm !
Mary, every aspect of that guitar is entirely unique, and amazing, exactly like you!
Love your music, your content, and truly enjoy watching your development as an artist and a person.
Much love, and thank you for giving us so much of yourself.
This is beautiful. Your fingerpicking is better in this than I’ve seen. Wonderful!
You deserve every bit of it all. Thank you!!
it is gorgeous and original Mary!! and sounds fantastic. The only important thing is that YOU love it! congrats!!!!
Looks and sounds amazing Mary! Great work! Love your videos, your music, and your advice and teachings along the way! You are a huge inspiration to all of us!
I've had a Martin for over a decade now and its the only acoustic I'll ever need. And even though its not an expensive model, or an OM, theres something about them and the way they play and the way they record. They're superb instruments. Each to their own I guess, but I'm sticking with mine, its never ever let me down.
I love Martin's OM and auditorium guitars. They have such beautiful nuance to their sound that dreadnoughts rarely do.
I'm also a fan of Martin's satin finish. Aside from the hypothetical that it may let the wood breathe more, what I really like is that the top isn't fully sealed from your arm/hand oils and the guitar eventually shows just how loved it has been.
🎉Well deserved gift for all your hard earned work! Keep putting out more great songs with your new Martin guitar!👍
A special guitar for a special lady - well deserved!
haven't seen your video in a while. Such joy to see your playing got so much better. I love when content creators still pursue to be better after having made it
Martin, the guitar my father played creating so many memories of his music glory to the D 28
Beautiful guitar Mary! Love the selections you made! ❤
Well deserved Mary, awesome 😃
The tone on this guitar is so beautiful! Beautiful fingerpicking…💕💕
It's a beauty!! Love the headstock.I've owned Martin Guitars since 1970, my first being a D-18-S, also with the slotted headstock.
Damn. It really sounds great. Both for fingerpicking and strumming, it sings (projects) with a truly lovely voice.
Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship, beautiful sound, 20 frets nice 🎸🎸🎸
My first real good guitar was a Martin D37 that I bought at my local music store back in Chicago. I saw while getting string for my electric and having always wanted a Martin bought on the spot. I love it. And good for you Mary, having your own speced out Martin made for you!
Mary! Mary! What a gorgeous guitar you have created. The sound is already magical and the guitar is clearly happy to be in your hands. I loved it all!
Wow, Mary! The OM has always been my fave, beautiful projection right in the vocal range, and the perfect depth to get up close and personal for a finger player. Congrats on your new BFF! It’s a lifetime instrument.
Mary, you are an amazing person... You say such nice things about other people. A true ray of light!
A very nice looking guitar that's for sure. Sounds good too
Congratulations, Mary! Your new signature guitar is unique and fits your style and voice perfectly. Wonderful choices on the woods and appointments. A stunningly beautiful instrument both visually and sonically.
Good for you Mary, sounds and looks amazing!
and it sounds so pretty! It looks special and it must feel really good to get your own custom Martin. Glad for you
That is an outstandingly beautiful instrument. Congratulations, Mary!!
What a fabulous guitar! Congratulations 💜
I WANT A MARY SPENDER CUSTOM MARTIN!!! Beautiful guitar well done
I have also seen it suggested that a less laquered satin finish lets the top move and work more, thus giving it a bit bigger voice for its size. I do not know for certain if that is true, but it sounds logical.
Mary, am envious as usual, and will always be. Gracious me! Godspeed on your journeys.
That's so awesome to see a bit into how your custom guitar was made, it sounds absolutely beautiful congratulations Mary. ❤❤❤
Congratulations on your Beautiful new guitar! It looks and sounds amazing!
You have impeccable taste.
It is to your credit that Martin took on this project with you.
You have been recognized for your contribution to music and I am happy for you.
Wishing you many years of discovery and inspiration together.
Congrats.
Spectacular guitar! Thanks for the details that you and the Martin folks put into it. Beautiful looking and sounding!
Wonderful. I had a custom guitar built (a personalised D-42) at Martin in 2006 and went to Pennsylvania to pick it up at the factory together with my late younger brother. A wonderful experience, with wonderful memories, and I treasure that guitar. I hope this one will also give you all those types of wonderful memories Mary. I love the OM body shape, and very interesting to see you chose the slotted headstock.
Beautiful instrument, beautiful sound, beautiful playing. Congrats on your new ax, Mary!
You absolutely deserve this! Love the final song in the video.
Truly a beautiful guitar ! It looks and sounds lovely. You deserve it Mary , congratulations !
Gorgeous. Love the inlays
Congrats Mary!
It's truly beautiful! Congrats!
You make it ring out and sound so beautifully !
Cheers
Wonderful- I’m happy for you, Mary Spender!
