Anne it does. It's early, but I have slowed down a lot. I fully anticipate this sticking around. If it ends up not being my favorite guitar (it never would have been), it will still then hang at the beach. I sold off a ton of gear and have three acoustics - my J45-TV, this "Bird", and a Martin 15 series. At one point I had 8 acoustics - 6 of them premium.
Right now I want to perfect a better way of having a good way to record. I was using an ApogeeMiC... bt maybe when I get a dedicated space in my house back to set up a "me place", I might want to set up a set two mic setup... one for the guitar one for vocals. We'll see. The last 5 or so recording I did were simply on a macbook with its internal mic.
The 000 Martin flew away too ? 😮🤯

I know nothing about running a guitar manufacturers
My guess is that the 'lower entry'guitars are a necessary by product from the quantity of materials needed to keep costs at a certain level ?
And of course as sal says , gets the headstock seen around the place...
A 5000 pound lowden , for an example ,isnt necessarily 5 times better than a 1000 guitar , hell theres a vapid argument that it's no better than a 100 pound one ..
Theres a lot more price perception goes on in guitars than people are willing to admit also

When was last time you washed your Jeans?

Anyone help me in my actual question ?
-
Oh , and I did say this another time ...
I'd like to know just what the hell guitar and what the hell player decides how the pole pieces leave the factory like they do !!!?
-
Yeah, I've messed around, eventually removing both the high E and the B completely...
The other poles are fairly low , seems an endless battle . Get one right and another needs adjusted ...
I also get a weird drone from the low E with certain capo placements ....
I spoke to a highly experienced musician a while ago about pickups and he says he gets the same one fitted every time , not necessarily because it's the possible best one available , but the one he knows how to work... as in playing, think I know what hes talking about
At certain times the M1A sounds great , would he great if I just played every song with the same attack .
But sometimes I'm using a pick , sometimes I'm gently strumming , sometimes I'm finger picking hard ....
Just dont think a sound hole one is what I should be working with...
-
Played first gig on saturday with my baggs m1a , didnt like it .
People said it sounded grand , but because of the way I play sometimes with a heavy right hand , string snapping etc it clicks on the poles ...
Spent the gig thinking too much about the pickup which isnt good ...
I have acquired a fishman aura 16 , and am thinking about a matrix infinty (which I had before in a little Martin with NO aura box and liked ) or will it matter if I just shove the old fishman pickup back into the guitar . It was the one that came with it , worst piezo pickup I've heard. But will the aura respond any different to a fancy piezo or just the same with any pickup ??
-
Yea, if the Martin fretboard is too 'tight' then you certainly dont want to make it 'tighter'with a short scale j45 or hummingbird....
And if the Martin is too 'dark' , perhaps a maple guitar or maybe not even a Gibson, but maybe a taylor I would consider quite a 'bright'guitar

The video is a little shite but everything about the song (maybe except for the lyrics) is great. I like the "big band" arrangements sprinkled in.
Look forward to yours Leonard

There is no need for a hairdryer , simply soak dental floss in Naptha and saw it back and forth under the guard
Apply some fresh 3M sticky

I just dont like black guitars , never seen one I liked
-
I'm with slim here , get it set up
You could also consider posting this video in the performance section , as I've heard worse attempts here
Hope you find the buzz
Is it only buzzing on that fret you are playing?

That's an interesting theory, but my guess is that the quality of the product you bought was just poor. Plenty of us have 50 or 60 year old guitars with the original plastic Kluson tuner buttons. And this is also a good reason to order parts from well-known reputable companies like StewMac, who will stand behind their products.
Yes , exactly
