Salfromchatham Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Martin released their new models today... There is a 000 17m 12fret slothead with a spruce shaded top that has piqued my interest for sure. Not that I can actually buy it... Any news of some Gibson acoustic offerings?

JuanCarlosVejar Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 The project I've been working on has been postponed until summer NAMM in Nashville. I wonder if it's to be able to compete with the Martin autentic guitars : http://www.martinguitar.com/guitars/guitars/itemlist/category/189-limited-editions-and-new-models.html D-45S Authentic 1936 (with Brazilian RW) D-28 Authentic 1941 D-28 Authentic 1931 D-18 Authentic 1939 OM-18 Authentic 1933 JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given what a "real" D-45 or D-28 of that vintage would cost, these two are relative bargains. I see they've also got one of those sweet little mahogany sunburst critters as well. Seems like Martin is catching the "authentic" fever, which is nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponty Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 How many different ways can Martin present the D-18 and D-28? It seems endless. The 000-17 looks nice, other than that, no GAS for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as many ways as Gibson presents the J45, only Martin does it better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jt Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Did you make it to Anaheim this year? Keith, No, without the unveiling of the new guitars it didn't make much sense. So, we'll do that in July. I'll do book tour gigs starting February 10 in Springfield, MA, then Seattle, etc., and head to Nashville in July. The timing should work well fro both the guitars and the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modoc_333 Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 There is a J35 that will cost LESS than a standard J45! I don't have the specs on it yet, but I will by next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madagascar Rosewood is that Authentic Dear Martin..? Rediculous. Originally they were doing it Authentic..hand carved neck..original wood..Tbar..in the D45 it was no bar it was an ebony insert to keep neck straight..ect JC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
