In the video, he’s playing what seems to be a (very exciting) standard Martin D-18 and the singer is playing a standard open-back 5-string banjo. The visual impression that these are long-necked or otherwise unusual is just due to the camera work.
A wide-angle lens up close will do that.
Look where the capo is and then listen to the guitar, it doesn't sound like it's got a capo. |

Not going to go back and look, but tuning down and capoing up is not unheard of.

Here's another song from them. He sings and enunciates better. This is the song about their neighbor Don who drank Lagavulin with Ian.
Don was 92 at the time. He had moved to Oregon for the medicinal marijuana. A while ago they tried to get in touch with Don and found he had moved on to his reward.

The music is great but I couldn't understand a single word she sang except "Pretty Polly". I turned on closed captions, but the captioning algorithm had no idea what she was singing. Other than an occasional random word, the captions just said "music."  |

It's a great song about 92 YO neighbor Don growing up in Kentucky and longing for the big city; Chicago. Then he got a job offer and went to Chicago. But eventually moved back to Kentucky where he and his wife could "live like Kings and Queens."

I posit that it's a garden-variety Martin D-18. Or maybe a D-18V.

The only baritone Martin makes, that I am aware of, is the Grand J-28 and that isn’t it.
Both the guitar and the banjo look like long necks due to camera distortion. Neither one is.
The guitar has a tortoise pickguard, open back tuners, and a long saddle so it is likely a D-18V.
