I just bought one a week ago. I would have to say that this is definitely a superior instrument compared to a lot of the options out for the same price. I would without hesitation say that you can easily compare this guitar to the quality and soun...
Well said Brother, very nice.

Hi Tom,
I've built several classical guitas that used Minwax Antique oil on. This is a varnish and one I still have after 15 years is great. Still very thin, but totally still protecting and looks good. I've also used Bartley's Gel Varnish. Same ...
Ron,
Really beautifull man. Did you arrange this yourself? Got the written music you'd want to share?

Hi Randy,
The $1K Martin's in my opinion are going to be a dissapointment to you if you've played the $2.5K models. They're making a $1K Martin so you can have a guitar that says "Martin" on it. For under 2K the Takamini would get my vote.

Thanks Allen!
I have spotted a few here also in the past year and every time I do, I notify Dan imediately. Good Job.

- Thanks! I basically arranged this by heart. I don't have tab or a written guitar arrangement, I have a lead sheet, but since I am a chordal jazz player, I can instantly arrange tunes. Let me know if you want the lead sheet. Thanks Ron

- Hi, Dave. Thank you for taking the time to read my post and especially to respond. I'm sorry if my plea for help offended you. In general, I've found my fellow flatpickers to be genial, thoughtful and quick to lend a hand. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but if you ever have the misfortune to lose a guitar (or even something more precious) and it's in my power to help you find it, I certainly will. Sincerely, Chuck Ervin

The nut is 1 3/4, it's reminiscent of the 37 marting necks.

I tabbed a flatpicking version of Blue Railroad Train but don't know yet how to send it to You.

- Hi Dave,
I listened to "Blue Railroad train" today on Doc Watson's Southbound album, then again I found it on youtube.com. (seek: Doc Watson - 1991 - Blue Railroad Train). The song on Southbound also seems to be fingerpicked by Doc, Merle Watson plays flatpick rhythm guitar along with it. The lyrics are not hard to obtain. I will try my hand on the fingerpicking today and after that try to elaborate flatpicking based on that. I will let You know about the results.
