tpbiii Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 If I had no guitars, and wanted the best I could get in today's market. Early 30s L-00, L-0, or L-1 1950-1955 D-18 Pre 1965 D-21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
62burst Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm thinking I'll take a shot here and have 4K change. What's 'morado' again? https://reverb.com/i...itar-w-ohc-j-50 Morado, a totally acceptable, more sustainable close relative of rosewood. Works just fine. As far as the headstock repaired one in the Reverb link- the seller is a good bit optimistic; an original example would only hope to fetch as much. I do love the WM-45's, especially the satin-finished ones- they're light, have no electronics, UST, etc., with the understated simplicity of a D-18, with the J-45 sound and feel. I also am still gassed over the 12 fret J-45, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinder Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I have the close cousin of the NB, my 2002 Martin OM18V...same guitar and V neck but 14 frets...wonderful guitar and possibly more easy to find that the NB. My favourite Martin. Dearly wish I hadn’t let my 2004 go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 My favourite Martin. Dearly wish I hadn’t let my 2004 go. Note to staff! Change the strings on the OM18V! 80/20s don’t work. Maybe think about a K&K pickup.....? I haven’t done any of this because a couple of years back, I bought the super duper OM18 Authentic and assumed I would sell the V. But it stands on its own 2 feet if you know what I mean. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merciful-evans Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Likely this Marco Bortolozzo. Its a reproduction of the Segovia Hauser. I don't have a quality nylon model. http://www.kentguitarclassics.com/classical-guitars/marco-bortolozzo/marco-bortolozzo-2014-hauser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajay Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I personally would buy a 1935 ADVANCED JUMBO REISSUE, AND PUT THE OTHER $1300 in my wallet and buy lottery tickets if I had Your luck. I think that the '35 Reissue is a special piece, copied off of a beautiful 1935 Advanced Jumbo Prototype. I have a friend in Bozeman who has played tons of Bozeman Gibsons. He said, at least the one that they gave him to test, had a tone unlike any other Bozeman Acoustic he had ever tried. But, I'm a huge AJ fan. The friend that I speak of knows well what he's comparing it to. And that includes just about every model that Bozeman has made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldCowboy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If I had no guitars, and wanted the best I could get in today's market. Early 30s L-00, L-0, or L-1 1950-1955 D-18 Pre 1965 D-21 That pre '65 D-21 calls to me in a seductive manner, but - alas - the $5000 eludes me!

dhanners623 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 For five grand, I'd probably try out one of the offerings from Pre-War Guitars: https://www.pre-warguitars.com And, yeah, if you don't want it to look beat up, they make them look like new.

Versatile Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Likely this Marco Bortolozzo. Its a reproduction of the Segovia Hauser. I don't have a quality nylon model. http://www.kentguita...zzo-2014-hauser I've been re-appraising over the last year or so and have included more 'bare fingerstyle' playing in my set.... Resulting in the acquisition of IMO 2 superb Taylor nylon stringers.....a 200 and a 400 series V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
