The second most expensive guitar I've ever bought... sounds amazing. Better than any new acoustic or Martin I played at guitar center. This thing is beast. and the action is VERY low.

Very accurate martin d-28 copy.

Very nice, I've never see those before with the Martin copy headstocks.

Rosewood back/sides? Solid top?

Old acoustics always outdo new ones in store comparisons. Old wood just sounds better.

Old Takamine's are awesome. When I bought my Larrivee it was a toss up between an early 70s Takamine a Yamaha and the Larrivee all three were lovely guitars. That Takamine had a neck like a baseball bat though which is why I didn't go for it, sounded ace though.

+1

The ones I've stumbled upon have been solid, really full-sounding guitars. Congrats on a very good acquisition!

I had a friend at church that had one of those TakaMartin guitars and they are ace. I believe his guitar got stolen but they are really cool when you find them.

I'll do a video demo sometime when school calms down... should be doing work right now. FUCK.

Played a radioshow tonight with thing and it sounded great. Haven't needed to tune it since I bought it -- solid.
