Mojorule Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Looks lovely, Jannus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Indeed lovely. What's the neck shape? How is this different from the standard 1.75 PA taper? I'll own an 000-18 with the neck I want one day. Just a perfect shape and spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Nice looking guitar! I recently had a custom L00 made and the luthier copied the neck of my favorite guitar. Wish I could do that on all my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll own an 000-18 with the neck I want one day. Just a perfect shape and spec. It's a bit like a shallow "C" to me. I've been through a few. Enough to know that the Mod V and I are not compatible. Had to move along a beautiful OM Marquis Madagascar and a couple of others because of that neck shape. This low profile oval is very comfortable to me. Plays very easily.

duluthdan Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Nice looking, and great specs. The more I age, the more I am addicted to that 1 3/4 width. I have a Martin with the modified v neck - seems a lot more like a shallow oval, but I rarely wander higher than the 5th fret. Butterbean Waverlies just scream classic goodness, love it.

Bozz Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 It's hard to beat a Martin 000-18. Very comfortable to play and great tone. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete'67 Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 What a beauty! Enjoy it! How is it different from the standard 000-18? It's the neckshape, amberburst and Waverlys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldCowboy Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Makes me hanker for a Martin, boys. A decent sunburst on a Martin is a beautiful thing - and makes it feel a little less like I'm cheating on Gibson😒 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidblast Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 very nice! I've never owned a martin but if I was in the market, THAT'S the body style I'd hunt down. enjoy the playing...

Trans Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Love the finish, a shade alike on my HB mapleburst. Martin has come a long way to start offering different shades and burst Gibson has been doing since it went big in the early 90's. Congrats and please do include more pictures/sound snippets. Keeper you say? You'll be the only one will know hehehe! But we believe yah! Trans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickthemiller Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Now that's the kind of guitar I could just sit and look at for hours. Beautiful, love the amber burst, very nice indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
