    Only Gibson has the iconic fat bottom girls sound , big bottom end , but still bright and jangly enough for those twelvth fret chords , very nice , that maple does sound a bit different , sort of dark gothic moody , very cool , luv the color , very checked out vibey , great playing as always Michael , thanks.

    May I never go deaf. I know I’m day late and a probably many a dollar short. That is a keeper. It has the that ‘thang’ the Roy Smecks have...they bark in a particular way ...and it sounds so good up the fretboard . It would have been stellar with any wood though I have to wonder if someone tapped that top and said to themselves...you know that would sound awful good with this maple.....or in probably the case, the next B and S in the pile.Maybe I’m hearing too much into that sound but I do recognize that thunder you feel through your chest when play an em. The thickness of that lacquer seems to vary so much through these years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Martin with that heavy a check. It looks heavy handed but it’s obviously lessened some of its grip from its birth. I thought working at a record store was hell on my wallet.

    I have no doubt, these old guitars are worth a lot of money, simply because of their age and rarity.
    But, I laugh at these beard strokers, all dribbling over the sound, because most of them sound very average indeed. This one sounded flat, and boring. Most sound awful.
    A modern hand-built acoustic, from a good luthier, sounds a million times better.

      A modern hand built guitar is always going to be much better, because a luthier today has the previous 100+ years of knowledge to draw on, in order to make the best instrument possible.

      @@gregwilson2721 My go-to guitar is a Lowden.
      George Lowden has refined the whole process, and has designed his own methods which far exceed any pre-war Martin.
      His 5 piece neck is much stiffer, meaning alternate tunings do not affect the string height in any way, his unique bracing system produces a much longer sustain, and the way he builds makes his guitars the most balanced and with the most pleasing harmonics.
      He is not alone, and dozens of other modern luthier's have their own super-developed systems.
      I suggest you do YOUR research sir, and stop thinking guitar design hasn't evolved in 100+ years.
      I wouldn't own or play a 'chinese copy' of a guitar from 100 years ago lol, and if you think that is the ultimate in instrument design, I probably shouldn't be even trying to discuss this subject with you, because you don't understand the subject matter.
