NAMM 2010 Video Tour of the Martin Guitar Booth - Part One

While at NAMM 2010 I got lucky and set up a video tour of the whole Martin line of guitars. Chris Thomas, the Booth Host, shows us just about every guitar in the house and then is kind enough to sit down and talk about Martin: the man, the guitars, the company; it is a great interview.
In Part One we see some very special Martin guitars and ukuleles, including some amazing graphics and stunning inlay design by the great Tracy Cox.
We round the corner and see the new Performing Artist Series including the new body style of the Grand Performance Cutaway featuring the Fishman F1 Aura System. Steve Miller's signature model was beautiful, lacquered in vintage red, and we'll see the 15 series, now available in mahogany.
A peak at the acoustic basses with Fishman pickups then this part ends with a look at the Jorma Kaukonen Signature Series guitar and you get to hear him play it a little How cool is that?
Stay tuned. We're not done yet. This is Part One of a five-part series on Martin Guitars at http://www.barefootmusicnews.com. Check there for more or subscribe to make sure you don't miss a thing.
