That really has a rich sound, so much so that you can practically see the trees it was made from.

I’m thinking that collectors that are not celebrities never get a chance at these gems. Joe just happened to get this 39 000-42 and his 41 000-45 from two different Guitar Centers. He must always be at the right place at the right time. Would be nice to leave some of these rare instruments for normal non- celebrities who can never buy these from these musicians because money is not a motivating factor and have no way of contacting them to even ask. I saw the “coming soon” on this guitar in IG. Problem is, it never came. I would have purchased this.

I’m glad Joe decided to buy this 000-42 as a gift for me👍 I’ll be sure to gift him my standard series 000-42 in return

I’ve had Martin Dreadnoughts for over 45 years. I got my first 000 Martin 3 years ago and I am amazed at how much fun they are and how the slightly smaller size makes it easier and more comfortable to play

Love Joe, love his added info. It's always a pleasure to hear Joe talk gear

Amazing find..love vintage guitars…thanks Joe…

One of my favorite pure sounds of a guitar. Like this guitar was the sound of my childhood riding in my grandmothers Jaguar listening to the unplugged album of Claptons.

i did my graphics degree at kingston poly (now uni) graduating in 1984. our illustration lecturer told the story of how his predecessor at kingston school of art was renown for saying "you'll never get anywhere until you put down that guitar, clapton" (i've had four jags, a series III, three XJ6's and an X-type. oh the ex wife had an S-type).

Is Joe the new Clapton? I think so.

Love the guitar and Joe is the man. The guitar sounds amazing and was a great find.

That intro is amazing!!!

000 MAGIC!!!!!! Doesn't hurt to have Bonamassa's fingers doing the talking.

What find! Sounds amazing over the KZread compressed audio. I would love to hear the depth of that instrument in the room. Awesome guitar!

She's a beauty! 😎👍

sounds exactly like the clapton guitar. super cool!

One hundred years from now a hell of a lot of so-called modern acoustic guitars will have aged and the wood mellowed to the point where they have increased in value dramatically compared to their original list price.

Another beauty of a guitar, timeless quality, the tone? ah yes the tone. Bliss. This guy Joe is not a bad guitarist, maybe he should record some of his music.

There sits the dude that makes us all want to quit because we will never be close. Damn you, Joe.

Best thing about vintage guitars ....the smell !

I happen to have a few early black dot pins put back that will match the others if you would like to have one.

“I’m not much of an acoustic player”.. sure Joe, that clear 😀😀😀

First thing I thought of when hearing this guitar was Clapton's unplugged. Sounds duplicate. Gorgeous guitar

E un fuori classe❤

The triple O’s are the best. Go triple O!!

Sounds divine. What’s it cost?

You’re no Tommy Immanuel Joe, but you’ll do!😁🤘😎🇺🇸

Ha! $60,000 plus fire sale. We should all be this lucky!

And now, all together, slow down the video and learn, learn, learn...

"It's pretty much all original except for this particular string button (...) They took thousands and thousands of dollars off the price tag when I pointed it out." 😂 Not just a tremendous guitarist!

I OWN 10 MARTINS INCLUDING 000-42, BUT THE BEST SOUNDING MARTIN IN MY OPINION, IS THE M-36

The finish does not look right to me. Has it been oversprayed somewhere along the way?

Fantastic fingerstyle and bluegrass playing from Joe, who says he’s “not much of an acoustic player”. 😂

It's not a bad way to introduce Martin 000 guitars to the public. There's some history here, and a good professional demonstration involved when you do it this way. Obviously this one's out of my price range, but the intro models aren't, and you can find them used.

Not a great acoustic player, eh? I'd like to see you do more acoustic music.

Yeah Joe, you’re a lousy acoustic guitar player. 🥴 If I could play that guitar only half as well as you played it, I probably would just drop dead on the spot with a big smirk on my face, knowing I’m dying a happy man. 😋🧡

I was referring to the new GC CEO who in recent remarks said GC needs to go my super high end and cater to that demographic more so than the everyday player. Unless I'm mistaken, GC;s bread and butter is and always has been newbies to intermediate players, not the super high end crowd. FWIW, I know more about JB than most people. Joe's not your "average" GC customer.

I read an interview with the new CEO. He expressed basically that Guitar Center needs to focus more on premium guitars. Too many 300 dollar guitars on the shelves. Literally he said that.

Beautiful dark deep sound. ❤ Great awesome playing ❤ @joebonamassatv @guitarcenter

Joe is a liar. He's a great acoustic player. When you get to his level of musicianship the type of instrument is pretty much irrelevant.
