Y'all may notice, I'm infatuated with the Martin D18

Hand made... doesn't look to be much, if any, different than any other guitar manufacturing process

and just about the time you think you're getting pretty good

Could he have played that without the capo? Why not? Playability that bad eh? lol.

Garland,TonyKgull,

The Martin D18 and D25 way overpriced.

Billy Strings is an excellent player in the style he plays.

The 2 main reasons for the use of the capo in the video, to play that tune in that particular key, or to increase the equivalent of the nut width for ease of playing.

Faith Mercury, Parlour Guitar.
Tanglewood TW40 Sundance Historic, 12 freter. Solid Spruce top, Mahogany back and sides.
Takamine GY93E-Nat, Parlour Guitar, solid Spruce top.
Epiphone ES339, semi acoustic Electric guitar,
Fender Mex Stratocaster, White with Maple neck.
PRS se Custom, 24 fret, Mahogany back with Maple cap.
Tanglewood TW 45 Re Sundance Reserve, All solid wood, Cedar Top,Mahogany back and sides.

Derick, most popular name brand guitars are over-priced, IMO- as I've said, multiple times, I won't pay multiple 1000's of dollars for any guitar... apparently the market allows over pricing since they do keep selling them...however, as we all know, the price on the tag is negotiable...

Your last point is what I was eluding to. The key would be irrelevant mostly if no one is singing the tune. Usually a key is only important to accommodate the vocalist so they can sing the song in the key that they can best perform the song in.
