I never knew about the Engelmann tops. Interesting video and thanks for posting.

Those "mystery"1953 spruce tops have a more light pumpkin like color instead of those browish Sitka tops.Some say it's Adirondack.To my ears,it sounds like Adirondack.

I have the same guitar in Sitka from 1951.Both are very loud,but the '53 has a fuller tonal spectrum.

HI....any of these old gals for sale?

[greekflatpicker]

No,thanks.These are my personal guitars.I just like the way they sound.I'm more a player than a collector.

@rubbersole79,

Thanks alot.Yes,i have some really good guitars here,but not all of them are mine.Some of them belong to a good friend of mine who collects them too.

Martins after '46 had Sitka tops,but there were a batch of guitars back in '53 and in '57 that were made with very stiff Engelmann tops.They call them "mystery" topped Martins.The looks and sound are like Adirondack.Special guitars.
