BluesKing777 Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Is there a Gibson version of the Barnwell Martin Information Page? If not, there should be!!! Go to the Spec Wizard section, put in say a 00-15e and 00-18v and the table shows the specs that are different in red... Look up a plain D18 and a D18 Authentic....etc. http://martinrep.com/index.html BluesKing777.
Fullmental Alpinist Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 Nicely done. Now I can see the difference in body shape between a 12 fret and a 14 fret. (Just click on the body shapes tab on the left, then select a 12 and a 14 fret.) Nice post BK 777.
j45nick Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 That is astonishingly useful. Did Tom Barnwell (tpbiii) put that together?
kelly campbell Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 You are right there should be thanks for posting it.
BluesKing777 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Posted September 24, 2015 That is astonishingly useful. Did Tom Barnwell (tpbiii) put that together? Hi Nick!!! Fish gone quiet for a bit? No Tom B involved that I know of, but the guy is a Martin rep/player - Warning: Madness could follow watching Tom play in the Music Villa video..... I hope someone puts a Gibson acoustic one together!!!!! BluesKing777.

I hope someone puts a Gibson acoustic one together!!!!! BluesKing777. Two great guitars, for sure, and a great way to compare them. Those would be way too rich for my blood, however. I would be curious to know if Larry and Tom are related. Barnwell is not a particularly common name, and the fact that two Barnwells could be so involved in vintage Martins seems to be too much of a coincidence, And yes, I am back home in Florida, with the boat put away in Maine for the long, cold winter.
Bozz Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Thanks for posting this link. It is a really an informative and interesting resource. I would love to see someone with the right connections do the same kind of thing with Gibson Acoustics.
Jesse_Dylan Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Hey, I remember that video! Watched it again. I wish they'd made it longer and done a bit o'strummin. Had been to that website before but never saw that spec wizard!! That's so cool! I'd love to be able to compare Gibson and Martin models on the same site...
