I am the proud owner of a 1998 Tacoma Roadking DM8C acoustic guitar with solid mahogany back, sides and neck with a sictka spruce top, Indian rosewood fretboard and pinless bridge... I purchased this guitar for $300 and required some repairs... The neck was like a banana and with time and patience over 6 months I gradually reverse the bow out of the neck, admittedly I have to use extra lite strings, however this is one of the best guitars I've ever played and the sound is as sweet as a nut... Well done on your design George 🎶🎶🎶🎶👍
I am 33 and listen to the Carter family, Bluegrass boys, Chet Atkins. Good instrumental music is making a comeback with platforms like youtube and tv licenses expired. This should set up the market for a revival of banjos, resonators, mandolins and other country stringed instruments like fiddles and guitars. Proof is top brands like Fender recently target the customers with bluegrass line etc... much love from Paris. France
Question: What are your thoughts on the authentic series from Martin? If I’m a session musician, is it a bad idea for me to purchase one of these considering they have no truss rod? I love the sound and feel of the 000-28 (I played in your store actually), but is keeping it accurately intonated going to be a challenge (and expensive) in the years to come? Thanks!
