So, in an effort to break in the new guitar with red spruce top, I left the mediums on for six months on both. But these Pre-Wars are so powerful, I think I like the heavier strings more, so trying the med-lights. Plus, I usually have a few guitars out at a time, so each one is not being  played everyday. statistics: Posted by theLastD18ss — 59 minutes ago ..read more

Maybe the rep told you a fact but misled you nonetheless. D-16s might be built these days w 000 depth, but for years and years they had full dreadnaught depth.  I would venture that the overwhelming majority of D-16s on the planet are full dreadnaught depth. i’d even bet the majority of style 16 Martins ever made are full depth dreadnaughts. The guitar in question however is a 000 and not a dreadnaught.  Lefty’s equation is correct. They aren’t the same regardless of style (not series).  I think he was reacting to your comment that it “looks like a D28,” which it does not since ..read more

I think it's reasonable that Martin would help the dealers with some type of cost credit.  It's certainly unusual for them to introduce a new model for $4,999, then discontinue the model, then, a couple months later introduce it back at $3,999.   statistics: Posted by HD28 Player — 23 minutes ago ..read more

One of my favorite things to make is salad dressing - I don’t buy salad dressing any longer, I just make it from scratch, usually with my stick blender, and it takes just a few minutes, and so much better-tasting than that store-bought stuff. statistics: Posted by Rucker — 58 minutes ago ..read more
