Tone Master on a Tone Monster

There is an aphorism that says "it's not the arrow, it's the Indian". I think it wouldn't matter exactly what artifact you put into Tommy's hands. The guitar he holds is wonderful, but his hands are even more so. A great person and a unique musician.

Tommy,what ever you touch turns to magic!!!

Tommy slays, and that 0000 has an unreal sound and projection. Great job, guys!

Soooooo great to hear Tommy playing a Martin! Greetings from San Francisco California

Hello Tommy, Seen you few months back in Buffalo , ny . Your show was awesome, can't wait to see you again please come back soon. This Martin guitar model is one of my all time favorites, with a little hope I will own one .

There was one negative comment but as the saying goes well “somebody has no taste.” My favorite guitars are Martín, but Maton, Taylor, Gibson, Santa Cruz all have Gems. There are handmade guitars here in Mexico that are wonderful. Tommy could tie one string to a log and come up with something great.

Best acoustic guitar player I’ve ever seen. Tommy is amazing 👍👍

Beautiful.

That was my favorite video of yours.

Brilliant!!!

I think so many times a guitar with the body at the 12th fret sounds so much better than one with the body at the 14th.

Very cool to hear Tommy on a Martin - he can make anything sound beautiful I'm sure, but this was awesome. I've been to Gruhn's and I'd trip if I saw Tommy in there! Probably had the whole place to himself after hours.

Beautiful clarity 🎶 🎵 chimey

Uncle Tommy is a living legend

Hmmmm. It is good to hear a guitar that is so dramatically very different than anything I ever heard!

he is amazing, king of guitarist

very cool guitar , sounds huge man! and thats even on mcrappy phone

thank you Tommy

I must say that T.E’s wonderful touch is largely magnified by the Martin sound (with the boosted bass and treble, and hollow mids)

You want a rhythmic toe-rapper, you got it^. (And that's the reason he's tapping his toe.) This guy was so incredibly good 57 years ago (I think he's about 102 now), that the guitar stuff was just secondary. Their act in the beginning was loosely based around sort of a vaudevillian comedy shtick reminiscent of Victor Borge's act. His performances now are purely mind-defying talent and skill. He NEVER goofs up. He can go on live for 20 minutes straight and not be guilty of one glitch. At his age (actually 67), there's a lot of people who can do good just to remember what they did with their car keys. But he's knocking it out just like he's 20. What an inspiration and treasure. And yeah - that guitar deserves to be a signature TE Martin, if anything does. (But I do understand exclusive contracts.) But it's good to see an icon playing an icon.
