Want to ask about strings, maintenance, amps, mics, or comparisons of different guitars or any music equipment? This is for all threads related to music equipment.
Went into guitar center with my checkbook ready for an HD-28v...until I stumbled upon this gift from God. Absolutely KILLED the HD-28v in sound...so I thought, eh, has to be the new strings. Well, both guitars had them put on a week ago. I was in awe of this guitar. I tried the other D-28s and realized the one I picked out was special....a very special one. Picked it for $1500, not one flaw!
what do you do for a pickup then??? soundhole. i couldn't imagine going to an open mic or something and not using something that beautiful. well, guess you could just mic it.
To answer fatjack's comment, there is actually a hole there, I think there is in all new martins under the "35" line... I don't know why, maybe they expect you to put one in? Either way, maybe down the road I'll put one in, but for playing now, I think I'll just mic it.
martins are not my favorite guitars, but they are great nonetheless. congrats, im sure the pictures dont do it justice

you were wise, sir, going with the d-28 and not the hd-28. I played them both, new martin strings on them, and the d-28 is just so pure, and raw, it's just great. I am pissed you got one before me, though .

Correct.
Regarding the guitar, looks like a beaut. Congrats.
