rct Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Josh and Atlas Stands made me a stand early this summer for my new CFMartin 000-16GT. Can't say enough about these guys, the work they do, and their outstanding customer service. Lots of businesses could take some lessons from these guys. I owe Josh some pictures up here, and I think I'm in the mood to give some photography lessons, so be jealous of my madd camera obscura abilities. Two of the stand and two of the stand working. Thanks again Josh, beautiful job! rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 They look nice and very well made. I hope the cushions are nitro-safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Very nice, I take the stand folds? Every time I see a Martin 000 body I wonder why I bought a jumbo acoustic, I am only 5'7" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Very nice, I take the stand folds? Every time I see a Martin 000 body I wonder why I bought a jumbo acoustic, I am only 5'7" It does fold indeed! And every time I flog at a D35 or one of the Gibson Jumbos I remember why I've never bought one. That 000 fits like a glove and sounds massive. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 When I was looking for an acoustic I was set on a Martin 000 model but a friend talked me out of it. I bought a Guild Jumbo made in China and it is an incredible guitar with very nice action, neck and the sustain is crazy good, very well made but I would love a smaller bodied guitar. One thing, as a man that likes curves I do prefer the jumbo body over a dreadnought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yes. Gorgeous workmanship. Nice 12-string, rct. Seriously; if you want even better snaps of the stand - and the guitars - send them over to me and I'll see what I can do....... P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again Josh, beautiful job! rct Seriously, Rct, I think the camera shake problem has a lot to do with shutter lag. Compared to fully manual and purely mechanical cameras using film, autofocus and digital imaging will cause a significant delay. Perhaps you move the camera thinking the picture already has been taken, but it's not. Try holding your camera steadily a second longer, and I'm sure it will work for you as desired. Also use manual adding of flash if applicable. Being an amateur photographer using quality gear since the age of nine, I switched to digital one month ago. No basic problems, but there has been and still is a lot to learn for me. You will make it to a high-grade commercial photographer if you want to. I'm not joking.

I hate taking pictures, that pretty much sums it up. I did need more light for most of those pictures that day, it was overcast and pretty dim in there even with the front windows all open. So yes, shutter open long time and me moving on to the next picture in the middle of it all. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted November 5, 2014 Author Share Posted November 5, 2014 The second pic made me dizzy and I thought I had vertigo. Nice stand. Was it made only to hold you acoustic? Yes, they actually mocked up the Martin 000 body size and made the stand specifically to fit it. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
