  I read Chris Martin and thought you were sitting down with the guy from Coldplay for a second 🤣. This is way cooler.

  I’m getting older now. I’m 55 years old. I’ve been playing music since I was a baby. I’m a multi-instrumentalist. I play bass drums, guitar, keyboard piano I do recording producing engineering. Lately I’ve been thinking about retiring so I traded in some of my equipment for three Martin guitars. A custom shop 1937D 18 authentic. A herringbone D 28. Lastly, a D 35. Winding things down this is the way that I wanna go. Just me and an acoustic guitar is all that I need. So I’m gonna eventually take all of my equipment and turn them into Martin guitars.<br><br>Thank you for your show. I love it. I watch it quite often. <br>Thank you for having Chris Martin on the show. He’s a wonderful person. <br><br>I’d like to thank the Martin company for these beautiful guitars <br>And thank you guys

  I&apos;ve been lucky to own a few Martins, but I adore my 00-15M the most. It feels intimate, sounds great and does it all.<br>Thanks Chris.

  So much gold in there. Didn&apos;t know Martin has a long standing ESOP, and that Chris&apos;s daughter is essentially guaranteed to maintain family ownership. I am glad for both of those things.

  Amazing man and amazing history. I Love that he gets out there and makes the History of Martin live &nbsp;on. I pray that his daughter at least has a presence in the company and industry and remains owner even if it is ran by someone else. It&apos;s just really important to the brand I think, that there is still family at least behind the scenes as the face of C.F. Martin. Love the story of the method used to name her and to keep a C.F. Martin in existence at least for another generation. Much luck in your retirement Chris. We really appreciate the spreading of the History of the Martin Legacy. It&apos;s an amazing story to say the least. I just turned 65 and finally decided that I wanted to learn how to play a guitar. Because of the history and your family history, as well as the legacy of the instruments themselves, I have now bought four Martin Guitars but I still don&apos;t play. I start my lessons next week. I started out with the Martin LX1RE Little Martin, and have since purchased a Road series special like the StreetMaster. Found it used for a price I could not pass up on. That was last month. This month I purchased the new for 2026 Refreshed Road Series D13E Walnut but Just this week, I sent it back and upgraded to the DE Retro Plus Granadillo because I was not aware of a Retro Plus when I bought the D13E. I also learned that the DE Plus series I ordered was modeled after the D-28 Which is amazing but I also have a compassion for the popularity of the D-18 so I Also ordered the DE Retro Plus Mahogany version. For the money, I could have almost been able to buy an actual D-18 but I also wanted a D-28 and could not afford both, so this solved that problem. However, An ACTUAL D-18E is on my bucket list. One day before I die, I&apos;ll own one. :-) Maybe I&apos;ll even know how to play when that happens. lol

  I have purchased many Martin Guitars since 1979. A great American company, guitar builder but most important Chris Martin a nice gentleman. I&apos;ve had the fortune to meet him at NAMM in Anaheim and talk to him. A living American legend for the whole world.
