Jeremy, I can't thank you enough for this excellent video! Working with you and Nathan is always a pleasure! Please let me know if I can help with any other pickguards and hopefully we can meet up while your in Tennessee.

Taylor Mullins sent me a sheet of celluloid from which I cut a guard for my ‘43 000-18. Great customer service, I highly recommend Holter Pickguards.

My home base is now a 95 Martin D-18, got for a great deal because of what you are teaching! Thank you Jeremy

I'm happy to have worked with Nathan at one point. He needed some radius dishes, and we shipped them out to him. The world of lutherie is is so grand and small at the same time. Nathan does amazing work. One day I might own a guitar that he handmade.

Some great advice as always Jeremy. Having had my 12 fret Brook Taw guitar a year I am now obsessed with it. Have a nice stay in Nashville Jeremy

That’s such a rad guitar! Love the inlay work and the pickguard is absolutely the cherry on top.

Enjoying your videos. Those Wright guitars look nice. I’ve got a Taylor 324ce that I love. I bought it off an old-timer who couldn’t play anymore. Told him if he ever got the itch to try to play again he could drop by and pick it up. First American-made guitar I’ve owned.

Bill is quite the character. Used to comment on every Facebook group trying to sell this. Headstock is still a bit goofy to me but looks way better with the pick guard

Well, my guitar collection includes my old faithful, a Sigma GCS-6, the old made in Japan form. It's the first steel string guitar, in fact the first guitar I ever owned, and I still love it today, after learning the very basics on some closet classical guitars when I worked for a ministry in Wichita. That Sigma actually came from a Pawn shop there. My other absolute favorite is my mid-70's Guild Jumbo body 12 string. It's been gone through and it just plays and sounds so incredible. I put a K&K in it and it's the one I play most of the time at church. It's a Salvation Army Thrift store find. I've got one of the Martin High pressure laminate guitars. It's nice and sounds good. But I've never been quite there with it. I still like it, but it's one I would have no problem getting rid of, unlike the prior two. I've got an Ibanez AES-20, with a diamond shape sound hole. It plays incredible, and sounds great amplified. It's small bodied, so the acoustic sound isn't quite as good. I got it off Amazon used, and got a better model than I ordered, after my Charvel acoustic electric disappeared at church. It was a tight time financially, and that one came inexpensive and I've got a lot of good playing out of it. I've got a Schecter acoustic that I intend to find a new home, but it's been a bit of a rebuild project. I've got a cheap Rogue bass, and a very inexpensive Ibanez electric. Both OK, both could find new homes without a second thought. And I've got an Epiphone ES-350, which is nice, slight finish crack at the neck headstock, which is what made it cheaper. Then I've built a couple of kit guitars, and I built a body to copy an acoustasonic, and I'm currently working on another body now that kind of copies a Kiesel acoustic. It won't be the same, but I'm curious how it'll turn out, hopefully good. But the two I'll likely never let go of is the Sigma and the Guild. This guitar in your video is beautiful. I have a couple of Mandolins (Big Muddy/Mid-Missouri from around Columbia Missouri), and one of them is maple with spruce top. It projects incredibly well. The other is all mahogany, and it's got such a sublety to it's sound that it still just sings. So that's basically my collection.

I've been playing for most of my life but when I use the term "guitar collection" my wife gets this nervous twitch so I try not to talk of it. My main two guitars are a 2006 Larrivee OM-03R and a 2009 Martin D-16GT. The Larrivee was a crowd funded gift from online guitar addiction support group. I'm partly kidding here but Larrivee is what I'd call my "goldilocks" guitar because it felt and sounded "just right" when I first played one. The Martin I bought with money gifted from my wife for that very purpose and cost all of $950. I put a K&K Pure Western Mini in the Larrivee and a JJB-330 in the Martin. I used to play in church and plugged them into the only amp I own: a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Surprisingly I payed for a decade without being excommunicated by the congregation. Ironically, the K&K is "hotter" and the dread sounds better when mic'd, but I attribute that to different tone woods and bracing patterns. Each guitar has its own "voice" with the Larrivee liking to be capo'd and played with bare fingers, while the Martin likes to fill up the room when strummed with a pick.

Awesome video Jeremy!….. by the way that song that you’re singing at the end sounded so nice with that guitar! 👍 take care!

Gibson J-35 and L-00 are my fav models by them. That is a stunning guitar. Well done, great presentation!!’

Awesome video Jeremy!! I dealt with Taylor from Holter pickguards years ago and he does incredible work. This video reminded me I should order some more pickguards from him 😊

Sounds good friend 👍👍. Have fun in Nashville!

Man, your playing is so beautyfull, please give us some vids of complete songs!😃 Like your videos so much informative but always these interrupped made me crazy!!! 🙃

Hey, Jeremy ~ really enjoyed your playing and your enthusiasm for this Wright guitar! it is a beauty, and quite unusual looking. And it sounds great! My story is that twenty years ago I decided that life was too short to not have a really good guitar, so I went to Guitar Resurrection here in Austin. I wasn't looking for any particular brand; I was just looking for the best guitar I could find, and I was willing to pay whatever it took. I tried out a bunch of different guitars, but then I got my hands on a brand new 2002 Santa Cruz D/PW (Indian rosewood). That SC was priced at $1995 (they're a good bit more expensive now) and I couldn't put it down. It still rings my bells every single time I pick it up. Since then I've sort of wound up with three more Santa Cruz guitars, and they keep me busy and interested! The second one that I ended up with was a 1995 12-fret dreadnought with a wide neck and a slot-headstock, Norman Blake style. That one I bought on eBay, which I know is maybe a little risky, but I just had a good feeling, and it worked out great. I got it for a great price, and it showed up well packed and just right. It kills. That guitar has just about the biggest, best tone I've ever heard. Then a few years later I saw that somebody here locally was selling a 2010 mahogany Santa Cruz D/PW in mint condition, with a deluxe Santa Cruz case, and it seemed like another good deal so I went for that one. Same exact model as the rosewood one; they're like siblings! The same, but different, you know? My latest addition to the herd is a 1997 Santa Cruz OM with a Brazilian overlay, a 1928 Style fingerboard inlay and a Dalmatian pickguard. Beautiful guitar, a real joy to play, and the OM body is a nice change of pace from the dreadnoughts and the big (big!) body of that 12-fret D. I got that one from a good friend on a trade for an absolutely terrific mahogany 1940 Martin 0-18, and I have no regrets. Obviously I'm a total fan of Richard Hoover's Santa Cruz guitars. They're light, super playable and they all have tone that won't quit. But I don't think there is such a thing as a "best" guitar brand; there are so many great luthiers. I'm sure I'm not the only guitar player who's just grateful as hell that they're out there doing what they do.

Jeremy- so true about a guitar collection. I realized recently I kept gravitating to a similar sound when buying different all mahogany guitars. I love the warmth. But why have 5 Martin all mahogany guitars. Which do I play? I have two I play all the time so, selling two others and focus on the other guitars, such as my Breedlove Oregon series or Legacy series which give amazing highs and midrange and fill the different needs you describe. Great video!!! Thank you

You have a beautiful voice.Mixes well with that guitar.

Cool Song Brotha🙏 Welcome to Guitar Town 😊

Nice look,nice sound!

I have a Martin DRS2. Based in South Africa. I don't have a big collection. Only my one acoustic guitar. I enjoy your channel immensely. All of the best. Greetings Nathan

I recently acquired a beautiful one of a kind, hand built acoustic based on a Martin 00 with a slotted headstock. Totally awesome. Built by a maker named John Bliven in St. Simon’s island, Ga. It like a some gentle flat picking but finger style blues is where this guitar lives which is perfect

Soy luthier, vivo en Uruguay y seria un honor que tocaras una de mis guitarras. Se nota el amor y conocimiento que tenes por el instrumento. Animo !!

What a small world. Blue Like Jazz is one of the most amazing and life-changing books I have ever read. I also loved To Own a Dragon and have shared it with some young men that truly need its message. Pass that along to your brother-in-law!

I had a curly maple Ibanez years ago I wish I would have kept, sounded great.

Holter pickguards are the best. I’ve had 4 made so far and each one is a work of art.

I’m currentl😢 the owner of gib J45, J50, L00, Martin d28. But recently got two Eastman, and I’m blown away. Just as much gtr for ALOT less money. I find myself reaching for the Eastman more often. Thank you for the channel!

I learnt classical guitar & i play in church every sunday , but......i cnt afford to buy a guitar....i just dnt earn enough.... I look at all th you tube videos and wow ,like u guys hav loads of guitars.. wish i had a guitar of my own..well maybe someday

Sorry forgot to add... a couple of Yamahas - LS6 and LL16M are my mains in praise band. I also an old 1959 Martin 0-15 that was passed to me when my step-mom passed. She always played folk genre songs. I play a heavy strum style(growing up on bluegrass) so I'm out of my league doing some extremely simple finger style original tunes on the old mahogany. I love it cause it's a piece of family in really great condition. But ya, that's my wild card as it makes "my" music sound very different. Anyway, that's me... not very far into the wild but ya I wanted to share cause I really get a lot from your videos and appreciate you Jeremy.

I love jumbo guitar. I had the HUMMINGBIRD PRO and it sounded like a Gibson. It got stolen but it was the best acoustic guitar I've ever had. It had a kill switch so that turn it off and and play acoustically while plugged into the amp.

sounds pretty incredible

I love the sound of that Nathan Wright J35 Jeremy👌 As for my Collection, my live gigging guitar is a 2019 Gibson J15, which rewards the listener more than the player, if that makes sense. My go to guitar is a 1994 Gibson J100xtra, which I love. My Old faithful is a 1980 Daion 78 Heritage, that is precious to me. I have recently been loaned a 2017 Faith Neptune Blood Moon guitar, which is very much a wild card, warm toned with a lovely neck profile and nice medium jumbo frets. I also have a 2008 Stanford Performer PSOM 10CE, Cedar/Mahogany, which is very versatile and I should use a lot more.

That's a beautiful guitar

I´m sorry, haven´t seen the vid till it ends! Thanks a lot!!😍

My collection-. Started with a mahogany GS mini. Taylor Ad12eSB, Martin dred Jr. And a Composite Acoustic 8m-3e. If I could only keep one it would be the CA. Easiest to play biggest sound. Then the AD12.

nice guitar and great job as always would love to sit and talk shop ,ibeen watching your chanel for some time and always cool content o yea and thanks for trying the little guys i hope i can get people to play my guitars like that

Hey man - I'm in Williamsburg, Va and play out 3 - 4 times a week. My gigging guitars are a Gibson J45, Martin HD28, and a Gibson SJ200. I also have a nice Takemine, a nylon sting guitar (not sure the brand), and a Gibson Chet Atkins SST. Love your videos and your love for VA. My parents have a place in Luray and my son just applied to JMU and a few VA schools. Hoping to be out that way more ....maybe even pick up some gigs out that way. Keep rawkin!

Dude I love the avengers analogy. I’m going to start looking at it that way.

Ya Jeremy, that guitar is really beautiful. It sounds great on my headphones. I'm sure it is sweet live. Play that guitar Jeremy!

I don't have a hugely diverse collection yet, but I love what I have. I have a Martin Backpacker, (it was my first guitar) I have a Martin DJR-10e which is perfect for encouraging me to play at home. Then, I have a Martin D-10e as my go to. I also have a Seagull 12-String for when I need the extra volume and tone. I am very thankful for what I have.

Reminds me of a 1960s J50 Love the song at the end! My list of tone kings. Taylor 714 Martin H D28-V Gibson J45 (Kalamazoo) National C series resonator Gibson L7 archtop Fender American Telecaster ultra luxe

Thanks Jeremy

Thanks!

After playing guitar for 50 years I now have arthritis in my hands- especially the left thumb joint, which led me to trading for and purchasing some short scale guitars this year. I bought a new Gibson J45 cherry top, and a short scale Furch OM-SR sunburst, to go along with my 2011 Stonebridge G22-CR that I bought new in 2012. I also traded a 2001 Goodall Standard for a used 2021 Bourgeois 000 Country Boy a few months ago, and then bought another Bourgeois- a 00 Hogtop new. Yeah, I kinda went guitar crazy this year. :)

That is one beautiful guitar.. How does it compare against that Showalter Sycamore/Osage?, if you don't mind the question. I am torn between these two and the new Eastman E16 SS TC. The last is another slope with maple. There is a builder in Japan that makes guitars with Japanese Cherry Blossoms. They are called Headway, check them out one day. They also have a model made with coffee bk and sd. Take care and thks for the vids.

enjoyed this video ... if you were my neighbour i would have joined you in the playing and singing ... like this kind of making music so much ... did you write the song yourself?

Jeremy, I’ve got a Blueridge BR-280A with an LR Baggs Lyric. It’s beautiful and very powerful… really blessed to be the one to open it up over the next few years. I definitely plan on having it until I’m old and grey! What’s your “must have” guitar for a crisp low-mid tone?

awsome bro, 🙂🙂🙂

I have several but the best guitars I own are my Martins. 000-18 and HD28 special Adi top. Those two are the ones I use every time. Martin is superior I feel.

What the cost factor for this guitar.

People ask me, “why you need so many guitars”… bruh I’m casting a movie! Duh 😅 love that explanation

My Taylor 712, 12-fret is my workhorse. A Breedlove Concertina is my couch partner.

To remove pickgaurds use lighter fuel, and patience. Works on all finishes including shellac, nitro etc. No need for heat/hairdryer. Just dribble some lighter fluid and slowly pare away

Wow Jeremy, you've really honed your voice in. Very Jason Isbellish.

Hope to meet you at the Phila. Guitar show.

Beautiful! I did the strangest thing ever and got rid of my most expensive guitars. I realized they are works of art, but there’s a pawn shop connection I have to cheap instruments. They can go with me anywhere and I don’t have reservations about it, and I bond with them that way :) Got me out of the bedroom.

You should check out Chris Bozung while in Nashville, tour his shop and play a couple of his flat tops. He's super nice and a great builder. Vince Gill played one of his cb supper's on cma years back.

a beautiful song at the end of the video! is it yours?

I made my own guitar and sound exactly like yours

The guitar is nice and all, but the real shout out should go to your barber for hooking up your beard with the extremely crisp edging job!!! Now I gotta step my beard game up!

Check out Whipple Guitars....Whipple Creek. They usually have one at Carters.

I have a j45 TV (soulful, old school strummer), and a V-class 314ce (new school, laser precise, smaller body with cutaway for lead).. what should be next? Thinking maybe 000-18 or 000-15m. Would give me a Gibson, Taylor and Martin

My guitar is the Taylor redwood 414ce not very many others

welcome to middle Tennessee!

Welcome to middle tennessee!

It looked very strange without a pickguard, it didn't look "Wright." I'll be here all day folks. Hoping to get my wildcard in an Emerald Amicus if all goes well.

I have a vintage Diastone that is a old Japanese knock off Martin D28 but Martin will not confirm. I have a Taylor travel guitar and just obtained a Luna

I’m liking that pick guard….

I have a 1970 D35 287xxx how do I identify BRW?

Taylor Mullins at Holter is a magician, no doubt about it

Is this room upstairs? I haven’t been granted access to this sacred space.

Pick guard looks great. I presume the guy that requested the remove and then backed out of the deal is on the no fly list now? Amazing how some people act.

Hitverdächtig!

Jeremy don’t you agree that a Boucher 42 is the guitar we all want but hardly anybody can afford???

Not a bad overall good guitar. However, I prefer the sound of a Taylor. There is a guitar that vibes with each person in a different way. Try many out & you will know when you find the right ones.

I’ll trade you. A 2017 Taylor builder’s edition K-24ce. Or at least trade to try out;) haha

I play often a martin d16 but then last weekend I played a guild..do not know the model. And I must say that I got pleasently surprised that this 1/3 the martin price guitar blew the martin out of the water...on all aspects. volume, playabillity, sound, built...finish details...Probably a fluke guitar...I was flabbergasted.

Hey everyone, that headstock my not be for everyone, I get it. Just so you know, it's a nod to the Legendary Wayne Henderson. If you know who that is, maybe you can appreciate that. If you don't know who that is, I'd invite you to look him up. He's awesome.

Wow. Attractive guitar. Nashville is great. Forget the bars on Broadway. Head the the basement and basement east for genuine music. That guitar sounds great. Very high gloss. Would that dampen the sound? That guitar has a great full sounding high end. Enjoy it. Try to not sell it if you can.

The Weight Brothers

Personally I don’t like that style of pick guard, and really would prefer not to have a pick guard they sound better with out those things, a thin clear pick guard would be best in my opinion like Larrivee used to do. I have yet to scar a top of bare guitar…

Your problem is you will never be satisfied with the guitars you currently have I have seen you sell guitars you said you would never get rid of It’s a disease you have

Holy moly what a motormouth. Why use 10 words when you can use 1,000? This video could have been 2mins not 12.

Love your content but please enough with the “freaking “ lol

I agree, that pickgaurd completes the guitar.
