Re: How would a D35 sound with 5/16 bracing? (reply) Yes indeed. Now, of course, the D-18 bracing is forward shifted and scalloped. |

Re: How would a D35 sound with 5/16 bracing? (reply) True. His point was that the only difference between the D-18 and the D-28 was the back and sides wood, which used to be more true than it is now, I guess. |

Re: How would a D35 sound with 5/16 bracing? (reply) Intersting vid. Mr Caruso also says that D-18s and D-28s have the same grade tops, when in fact 18s get grade 1/2 and 28s grade 3/4. |

Re: Replacing Large Rosewood Bridgeplate with small maple? (reply) Have you considered a 00-21 from the sixties? Brazilian rosewood, 1 7/8" nut, short scale, small maple bridge plate, reasonable price. |

Re: "D size" pickguards on OM/000?? (reply) Right on. The point is that while Dreadnaught pickguards may to be the same shape as 000, they are not the same size. And as to whether that shape looks good on an OM, well it sure does to me. |

Re: New martins = great martins?? (reply) If I had the choice, I'd take a D-28GE over a 50s or 60s D-28 any day of the week. |

Re: "D size" pickguards on OM/000?? (reply) Right, same shape, but is it the same size as a Dreadnaught pickguard? Clearly the 0 pickguard is a different size: |

Re: New martins = great martins?? (reply) The instruments were just different, and better for that application.If the answer lies in the design rather than age, then there should be no reason why some contemporary Martins will not be just as good as the golden era pre-war... |

Re: Theory Question I ii iii IV V7 vi viidim (reply) Another good one to throw in is the bVII (equivalent to the dominant 7th note of a scale), often together with a Mixolydian scale (which sounds bluesy). For example, Grateful Dead's Deal is in A, the refrain (Don't you let that deal go... |

Re: New martins = great martins?? (reply) I think the most interesting element of this question relates to age. How much age is required to reach greatness? Was a 1930s Martin great in the sixties? If so, then eighties Martins should be knocking on the door today. Did a 1930s... |
