a few unknown brands and a, , , , ,

 

Martin Custom HD-28 walnut back'n'sides (first encounter with that wood, not sure how to characterize it)

 

All of them better than good and great to have between the hands.

The 2 Birds both had it – in spite of the year-difference. Guess this '68 ex. was from before the big box-change, but I don't know.

It just sounded uninhibited and bold – better than my SJ from that same year.

 

Have to say the prize went to those 2 plus the J-50 (unfortunately with the narrow nut) and Mr. Walnut. A high-price instrument of towering quality and enigma.

 

Went home for a private kitchen-jam that rolled on a few hours after midnite. Extremely satisfied with the feel and soul of my own collection.

 

 

 

Btw. had a chat with the energic Wildwood-demonstrator, we know so well. Suddenly he stood in front and I went over and shook his hand. A nice fellow, , , , , , , , , , ,

but he isn't aware of our Board !?
