Tell your friend Rhett it is actually a 1973 Ford LTD, not a 1972. You can tell from the big chrome 5mph bumper on the front.

This was the best surprise ever. Thank you so much!! It was awesome to meet you Mary!

Never would have guessed that Rhett knows as much about waffles as he does about guitars. Great video Mary!

I was wondering about the southern hospitality void. If Mary and Rhett brought me a strat there would be a lobster clam bake dinner with whiskey and music son!!! Gloucester U.S.A.

That was an awesome video, such a generous gift. 1 week ago my 18yr old son who works in a pawn shop had a fender hwy one strat come in to his store from another of their stores but it was priced wrong. Knowing I'd always wanted an American strat my son purchased the guitar for the marked price plus staff discount for a whole $51, he then gifted me the guitar. I'm blessed to have a thoughtful son

Nice driving car! My dad had a Galaxy 500, that was great on vacation!

Mary, I was so glad to see this. I bought the exact same guitar (a Fender Stratocaster Player Plus HSS with Belair Blue finish) about a month ago and totally love it. The reason I became interested in it was because I saw your video that reviewed it and I loved it. I did not know from your video that you'd actually acquired this instrument for yourself and had taken it with you to Spain and elsewhere. I thought maybe Fender supplied you one and asked for a video review. I'm glad you liked having it, and I enjoyed your generous surprise of leaving it in a good home. I've never had a Strat. My only other electric guitar is a 1967 Gibson ES-335, in great condition (but needs work), which I've owned since 1969. (Yes, I'm an old guy.) I thought about this for a long time, read and watched other reviews and particularly read the specs on Fender's website, which impressed me (particularly the unusual pickup combination), then decided I'd like to buy one. I play it an hour or two every day. So thanks from one of your regular viewers for this kind gesture in giving away and for being the first to introduce me to it.

Seriously! U n Rhett doin' a tour together, just u n him, just the two of u on stage, winging it, I would relish in watching🤤

Great video, Mary. Laughed out loud at your shocked “What?” when you thought Rhett was going to pour ketchup on his waffle. I was initially shocked as well. ; ))

Wao!!! Mary that was so generous of you to give away a guitar. So proud of you, l salute you

Guitars, classic cars and food reviews ! That channel is taking an awsome turn ;-)

Love that ‘72 LTD! I had a ‘70 Galaxie 500 2 door hardtop. There is something about that age of car… Detroit Magic!

Great idea and love seeing the guitar channels giving back.

Great to have you in the states, Mary! By the way, you absolutely look beautiful and elegant in your winter clothes!

Loved the video. Rhett reminded me of my trip the a maple syrup farm/restaurant in Canada. In the restaurant in which they only spoke French and I only speak English, via my cousin who translated, I asked for the most traditional dish that they would eat at home. Unfortunately that was a pork dish and my brother and I are intolerant to pork. After explaining this the French chef came out and told us, because we had shown such interest in his culture and just for us, he would cook the dish with beef which was also traditional but not on the menu. It was, of course, cooked with fresh maple syrup. For a sweet we had traditional maple syrup/apple pie. Both dishes were wonderful but the chef and staff were extremely amused that I added extra maple syrup to both dishes so much so that I was presented with a bottle of their maple syrup when we left.

Mary, the essence of this video is why everyone loves you. We can be fans of your music, but really looking up to the person themself makes that artist/fan bond strong for us fans. Love your music, love your content, and the person you are. Thank you

I had a 1971 two door Ford Ltd, and you are right about the boat. When you drove on the highway it was like driving on air.

What a kind gesture. Hope you enjoyed your stay in America, and all that Georgia has to offer

Absolutely awesome on all subjects!! Interesting coincidence, growing up I learned to drive in a 1978 Ford LTD Country Squire station wagon.!! A bit newer and bigger than Rhett's and was a wagon but absolutely like driving a boat!! Congrats to Justin on the guitar!! Cool vid Mary!!

1972 Ford Battle Wagon. Awesome! Nothing More American than that rolling beast... Great video!

I thought the best part as the surprise at the end - it looked like Rhett had actually backed that boat into a parking space!

This is *SUPER* awesome!!! You were right down the street from my house!!! (I'm in Peachtree City) Wow...this was fantastic to be able to surprise him like that! To have you and Rhett show up at his door?! Awesome! Plus....I'm glad we got the story of Rhett's car!!!

I learned to drive in a 72 LTD country Squire wagon we called the Land Yahat. Indeed a Boat.

It's so nice to see a "surprise someone at their house" bit that's actually totally genuine. Also that LTD looks cool as hell.

I have even more respect for Rhett after seeing he even rocks a vintage whip. Love you guys working together. Always a pleasure watching your channel.

Very fun video Mary! Thanks for taping and sharing it! Hope you're over in the states for awhile and are able to make the time to see a lot of the sites.

This video was so well done, I love the videos that show some back story on our favorite youtubers.

Greetings from Michigan. Great video! To see two of my favorite youtubers in my home state driving around talking old cars, guitars and waffle house does my heart good. And giving away a Strat as well! Hope Mary liked the grits. Go Dawgs

Awesome! So cool knowing you are just right up the road. Hope you enjoy your visit to my home state. Keep on making music and making people smile. ✌️

I'd have been in tears of joy and gratefulness for such a visit and such a generous gift. Would have been the surprise of a lifetime seeing both you and Rhett at my doorstep. I'm certain I'd have been somewhat starstruck and absolutely delighted to see both of you in-person, after having watched seemingly countless videos of both of your channels. Happy subscriber to both. The Waffle House trip looked amazing, as well. Thanks for posting this, Mary (and to Rhett for providing the ride in that classic, as well as for filming - not to mention the trip to Waffle House). My mouth was watering, just imagining how killer that food must have been)!

I love it that Rhett drives a LTD Brougham sedan with OPERA WINDOWS! Awesome.

Your generosity of spirit is so wonderful. Great story.

love watching these vloggy videos keep them coming

What an awesome gift! Wish I had known you were in Atlanta. I live here & would have loved to meet you & get a pic & autograph. Very cool Mary!

Mary…… you are such a sweetheart! Incredibly generous of you to hand deliver half way around the world from home, a guitar of your own collection. Such a beautiful gesture from a just as beautiful soul! Keep being you, for the sake of us all!

I'm loving that you were just as excited to just give the guitar as he wants to get it.

dude…. if I got the miracle to have Mary Spender visiting at home with a guitar, the least that I would do is inviting her in my house, prepare something with a nice cup of tea, and PLAY WITH HER AND RECORD A VIDEO ON THE SPOT!!, Mary, you Rock! I would love to meet you and play 1 song. if you ever come to Charlotte, NC please, please, please…..let’s play 1 song….. Cheers.

Awesome video! And what an honor to receive a signed guitar from Mary! And personally delivered. I also enjoyed the Ford and Waffle House. Excellent video!!!

That's so awesome of a gift... a cool Fender Strat and to meet Mary in person! You are awesome Mary :)

Delightful - thanks for sharing. You guys are awesome.

Mary good to see you giving a guitar, Love your channel and your energy, Ive started playing guitar since i was about 45 ,late starter,but have learnt so much,I can now play and sing on stage nothing great, (i like getting and good sound out of my guitars) but can get the crowd up!I have a few guitars, and sometimes if i feel someone deserves it,will give them a guitar, it is a good feeling ! (better to give than recieve)One was maton cuttaway . All Best Mike

that was SO nice of you. I dream of being able to do this for someone in need some day. God bless you.

I loved this video because it makes me travel. And the car is really nice as well as the guitar. Thank you

What a wonderful video Mary! Delivering the guitar in person was fantastic, he was so pleased he was like a dog with two tails 🙂. Oh and I love that classic Ford. I remember my first visit to the states working back in 99 and will never forget driving the cars back then, in a country where a roundabout was something at a fun fair and few twisty roads the suspension was so soft they were so comfortable but drove like a mattress and no 'stick shifters'. My first foray into an American diner was also quite a shock, the size of the meal would have kept me fed for days.

A wonderful story! You are the best, Mary!

Such a cool vid, I'm new to this channel and blown away. Keep up the awesome-ness!

Always nice when two favourite YT channels get together (well, Three if we count Ricks cameo appearance) , very nice video!

Excellent surprise. Well done!

3 hours from my home, this was fun to watch, love the old ford, funny you can't get out, you are the sweetest. 🤗🤗😂😎

Mary - I believe you are an angel from heaven!

What a feel good video. Great car, greater guitar 🎸 nice family (he better play it lol) and topped with waffles. Mary you make a fabulous humanitarian. Love your vibe!!!

Glad you clarified because if you were at my home, we would insist you come in so we could spoil you with true American hospitality and a home cooked meal…so , when in Houston and you need some Texas size hospitality, our doors are always open… you don’t need to come bering gifts… I have to say, pretty cool what you did for your fan! Lon

Loved the video, Mary

That was nice..so cool to watch that

A few random thoughts: That was a generous gift. .... It's good to see two of my favorite KZreadrs in the same video .... Cool car .... Thanks for the video.

I love it that all my favourite musical youtubers are all legit friends in real life, even if they live on opposite sides of the world.

My Grandad had a bronze Mk3 Cortina estate which looked like the Brougham. It was SOOOOO COOL. Just like Rhett's. The Brougham also reminds me of Hutch's old beat up car. Ah memories...

You're a jolly good soul, Mary! 😁

I spent a lot of my childhood packed in the back seat of my moms 77 Thunderbird with about 8 other kids from her in home daycare. Man I miss the 80’s! Love how you combined guitars,under-appreciated cars and Waffle House in one video. I’d say you guys nailed it! Keep it up!

That LTD is awesome, although it looks like a '73 to me, I will defer to Rhett's family experience with the car. I had a '72 Gran Torino Sport with the 400 (small block) Windsor engine. Not much sport from the 168 HP engine, but it looked very fast 😂😂

1982, Gainesville, Florida, guitar store. They had a Blueburst Strat that I fell in love with. But as poor college kid the $900+ price tag was impossible. It was one of the last American made Strats and it was perfect. I can still feel how it played and looked.

Of course Rhett and Mary are friends. Love your vids Mary! New fan.

Wow, the Colour of that guitar Looks Like the Sky through the Cars windshield and that Justin is working for the weather Channel.

Great episode!!

Gracias por compartir este momento!🎸♥️

We have a classic Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme stationwagon (1990 with a 1977 Toronado motor) we always get looks. (Family truckster) driving is like playing with a delay pedal. You have to know when to start and when your notes will end and get the feel of it, to master it well.

That car triggers two thoughts in my brain. 1) Even though it's not a Chrysler, it looks like the car that's as big as a whale from the B-52's "Love Shack" and 2) before you got ib it would have been perfect if you said "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of smokes, and we're wearing sunglasses." from The Blues Brothers.

This went well! So nice that you give away a guitar!

I loved Rhett's car when it showed up in the opening sequence of Star Wars chasing Princess Leia's ship. JK Great video.

Mary, I'm definitely up for a visit from the amazing British singing goddess 😍.

So awesome! And meanwhile, Rhett has the most bad-assed bluesmobile I have seen.

I’ve seen that same Strat at my local store for several weeks. Even yesterday to check up on one of my pedals for repair!

So generous… wow😍

I can't believe he didn't immediately invite you guys in !!

Ah, so Rhett can afford all those nice guitars because he drives his grandfather's car! haha! :P Great video Mary, happy to subscribe!

If he would'nt want it signed he would'nt been the right dude to have it!
