"This whole guitar could have been an email" - I laughed for a solid ten minutes straight.
-
Somehow it was decided that the only acceptable trajectory for business is constant growth. This guitar is the outcome.
-
Guitar breakdown on this one would be sweeeeeeet. Can't wait for that. You guys are the best, straight up.
-
You guys just covered LITERALLY everything I was going to say about this guitar. Could have listened for another day.
-
I have learned more from you two than any other source. Thank you
-
Yes please! I would love to see that breakdown
-
Yes I would love to see a break down on this new Martin guitar!
-
Thank you, thank you, thank you for calling BS on the all the marketing crap they're dishing out. They're piling it high and deep. This looks like a repeat of what Talyor's marketing grease ball weasels did with their V-bracing.
-
You two remind me that this world is a beautiful place with amazing minds - Please keep doing what you do!
-
Liked and subscribed for the honesty.
-
Glad you see it the same way as I did as I have been shouted down in a few forums of Martin lovers. There is so much they could have done but as you say invented in the boardroom and somebody had the Honey comb sketch they did in their lunch break and said I have this.any good. Look forward to the full Driftwood treatment
-
Definitely want to see the breakdown on this. Also, hope I see you guys at NAMM! I would love to try a Driftwood acoustic if you'll have some demo instruments 😊 I am coming specifically to try boutique acoustics because that's my jam.
-
I feel like those braces are a bold move, would be interesting to see how well they do after 10 years of seasonal changes.
-
I just bought an HD35. Love the sound, love the neck, but heck yeah - plastic binding and plastic bridge pins on a $3,400.00 guitar??!! I loved your final comment on their finally using a wood binding. My $500 Seagull and $1600 Eastman both have wood bindings!
-
Nice to see your reaction so fast. 🎉
-
I couldn’t agree more with everything you both said. I’m ambivalent about two of the 3 elements, but the “Sonic channels” will keep repairers in work for decades….
-
i do enjoy those cut the guitar in half videos
-
Interesting analysis and some funny commentary! That 3 piece back feels like buying a new car but it only has 12k miles on it!
-
Very interested to see the results of the breakdown. Id agree that the standard models are over built so the skeletonised approach seems unnecessary when they could just brace the guitar with lighter bracing (a step beyond the scalloped bracing)
-
Thank you CM & TC.
