What a treat! As part of the Martin series I was lucky enough to get to play some very cool guitars. I started out with the Signature series Jorma Kaukonen "M" size guitar with the enlarged sound hole. An awesome, big sound performers' guitar. This Tasty Riffs video also features two BareFoot MusicNews Exclusives. As far as we know, Dan Grigor was the only player at NAMM 2010 to play the museum piece double-neck and the hundred and ten thousand dollar D-100.

We had a great day with Martin seeing their entire line and talking with Chris and Jorma Kaukonen but the highlight of the day was playing these guitars.
How cool is that?

Listen to what the guy says about the guitar, he tells you why they are so expensive.

[ver2oso]

I don't care what it cost or what you think, I loved playing it. I wish I'd have had a quiet room and a few hours to play. This was a once in a lifetime chance and all I did was ask... hey, can I play that thing? what about that one? A great day for me.

@bounjune bless you my son {8->{D}>

[maxisawesome97]

whats the name and price of the last guitar he played???????

[ver2oso]

@maxisawesome97 that is the D-100 and it has a MSRP price tag at $109.999.00. You can see it just before he hands it to me hanging on the wall.

Anyone who would spend that much on a guitar needs shot.

[curbshoppin]

even over my crappy pc speakers it sounded great.........will they take a check? because if they want cash it will take me awhile......really a beauty

@MesoNefon explain

[MesoNefon]

Not a single guitar on this planet is worth this price. And certainly not when made by a company like Martin. In the end, each to their own and no offense meant to be taken.

[BTBHSOHBOY]

I love Martins. But I wouldn't spend $110,000 on a Martin if I had $110,000,000 to my name. I'd be afraid to play it.

man i wanna look like a gnome when im old too!

[rocketjunkie88]

I plan to steal it. I intend to use those wires and pulleys and things that were used in the pink panther film. I'll do it at night when the old fellow has fallen asleep. Through the window I'll stealthily climb, and steal rumplestilskins guitar. The shadow. Professional thief.

I enjoyed watching, thanks for showing us such beautiful guitars!
