Great job, fun to watch really fine playing---love the tone of the Martin maybe even more than the Collings.

[jifigz]

Nevermind. The description tells me. I guess I should have been more observant.

[tonedr]

I apologize for not fully answering your question - 000 -GE. I changed the tuners & did a few other mods to it.

[jifigz]

sounds very Good. And I am looking to buy a new acoustic guitar soon and I was thinking about a Martin. What model is the guitar you have there, if you don't mind me asking, sir?

[tonedr]

I've really enjoyed the guitar. Like the tones lot but the neck is a bit chunky for my hands. Martin guitars have a classic tone!!

Thanks for watching,

dale

First time I heard this in Drop-D tuning.

[tonedr]

thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind rating. All the best,

[van1976]

Super nice. Is that in the key of "E"--I just quessing. I have (the first half anyway) posted in the "original" key of "C"--I find it quite difficult. I love the "Ragtime" and I like the way you play Mr. Joplin's song.

--Van

[tonedr]

hello Van, thanks so much for your kind words! I do this in he key of D, and drop my low E string down to D. It s a great song - all the best,

[JustDom89]

i love the om guards too! i feel the same way about the 000 guards there just too big. so how did you change it? was it hard? i heard that sometimes you can see the old pickguard marks if you aren't carefull. not with yours, it looks perfect!

[tonedr]

i took it to a local trust luthier, she did a great job, no problem taking the old off, but you are 100% right, in the right light you can see where the old guard was, but it just doesn't bother me. Thanks for noticing - you are the first!

dale

[JustDom89]

it's a 000? the pickguard is om. what happened

[tonedr]

i changed guards, i like the OM guard much better, the other just looks too big for the guitar to me, this is a Collings guard, they get it right IMO! Also did a few other things I wish Martin did from the factory, but now I'm very pleased with the guitar. You are very observant! Thanks for watching,

dale

[bryanrobertson]
