Not only is that guitar gonna be nice and clean, but it won't have any lack of humidity issues either. Would have been better if he washed Colbert's glasses by dunking his whole head though.

I doubt those were quality banjos or guitars - most likely props.

One was a Seagull! 😲😮
I hope we consider them quality guitars... 🤔
Now, both Martin and Colbert's show have the budget to ruin decent-quality things... 💸

I very definitely consider Seagulls quality guitars - I own 4 Godin products (2 Seagulls, a Simon and Patrick, and an Ami,) but you are correct - they DO have the budget to afford to ruin things. I was just thinking that maybe the instruments had cracks we couldn't see, loose bracing, obviously the guitar had no strings on it so maybe needed a new neck, etc. I was hoping anyway...

I hear that happens.. Steve plays in a bluegrass group that won group of the year a little while back. Google it.

While Steve plays clawhammer in this video, he is also a great bluegrass banjo player.
