Once he adds, of the Martin he's playing those days, "Hank Williams's guitar."
Whaaa? Hank William's acoustic guitar is yours? Wow! Talk about mojo and mystique in your guitar. Gosh.

From Wikipedia: Martin D-28. Nicknamed "Hank" after its previous owner, Hank Williams. Hank Williams, Jr., had traded it for some shotguns; it went through a succession of other owners until it was located by Young's longtime friend Grant Boatwright. The guitar was purchased by Young from Tut Taylor. Young has toured with it for over 30 years. A story about the guitar and the song it inspired, "This Old Guitar", can be seen about 50 minutes into the film Neil Young: Heart of Gold


My Whaaa? moment was when I learned that in '66 after a chance encounter in traffic on Sunset Boulevard, Buffalo Springfield was formed and it was Neil Young's memorable guitar on 'For what its worth'

There's something happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's going down
