Funny thing, Jim. It doesn't seem to resonate here in the study like it did at Hill Country Guitars... :shock:
So now you have to remodel your kitchen again???? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Just joshing, Carl. Truth is, I've had five Martins and none sounded like that. That particular guitar is special. If it wasn't a dread, I'd probably consider it.
I think it is Folk or small body gits from here out. Might be forced to go the short scale route... Graham handed me a nice used short scale Taylor (did I say nice Taylor? Aaaaaargh!) that sounded very nice indeed. I think it might have had a cedar top on it...
The Collings were very nice; the Froggy Bottoms were unreal and so were the associated price tags...
Had a nice discussion with the (new) owner and asked if he considered stocking guitars under 3K. He said he considered Martin and Guild to fill the void, but in each case they were unreasonable in required stocking levels. As I recall, he said Fender demands that he keep at least 15 on hand. As result, he's adding composites to his lineup.
