MorrisrownSal Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I cant do anything about it, but I find this very interesting. Martin has made a few CEO guitars based on a slope shoulder dread. I owned the CEO4-R years back. Anyway, those guitars were long scale with a M&T neck joint (as opposed to dovetail). Mine was really muddy. I sold it. I just saw this on UMGF. Short scale. Dovetail. Adi over hog. He is asking $2,999 on UMGF new with warranty (they are a Martin dealer). https://www.guitarho...guitar-2027455/ I am sorry.... this is one I would be buying if for nothing else than curiosity. I bet it is not muddy at all. Although, I would prefer natural finish or burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lars68 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 That is a very, very cool guitar! I'don't mind the white finish one bit. I think it is absolutely gorgeous! Would be interesting to hear it. Lars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 "That is a very cool looking guitar", indeed. The antique white should age to something really nice, too. However, I've been noticing something lately with the satin finish of the WM-45; Don't know if it's just a particularly good sounding guitar- it is very light, great string break, small pick guard, and no electronics… but it is just so opened up sounding, and I'm wondering if coating a guitar with paint enough to give a glossy, reflective finish effects/ hampers the sound some. The Guitar Hotline D-18 would be a good compare to see how Martin does a version of the J-45. Keep in mind there are a small number of D-18 SS's out there, which are also short scale.

kelly campbell Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I would buy that in a hurry..nice guitar, I would be curious as well to hear it and play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 I have been known to buy guitars simply out of curiosity. But snagging a 1930s Kay K-6 for $150 because I was curious about what sound a long scale ladder braced guitar put out (it is thunderous) is a far cry from a $3K experiment.

Jalex Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Not a fan of the albino look. Not my cup of tea personally. Of course I might my change my mind depending on how it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Give me the same guitar in black, or even natural, but that white doesn't go with my outfit! Or my house....car, dog? Yes, would suit owner of a super modern glass and cement full modern minimilist house in a dust free, dog hair free zone...somewhere! BluesKing777.

rbpicker Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 This conjures up some really bad memories for me. I once spray painted an old Gibson when I got into my first band, thinking it would look cool in white under stage lights. Well, it sucked the tone out of that old classic, but I didn't realize why at the time (15 years old). So, it was goodbye guitar and goodbye stage lights for me... alas! I'm sure this one sounds MUCH better, however. Rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once repaired a crack in the top of a 1930s Gibson L-00 by drilling holes on either end of it (figuring it would stop the crack from spreading) and then filling with Duco cement. I then attempted to mount a PAF pickup (purchased out of the standard parts box most small music stores used to have sitting in the corner) on a 1930s Martin archtop because I really wanted an electric guitar.
