Chiliwailer Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 (edited) Get some wood. Kicking off with a Martin from circa 1840 with original hard case, but a dodgy newer bridge... which will soon replaced with an original looking one when I get some cash!

GuyR Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Looks great. What does it play & sound like? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiliwailer Posted August 18, 2018 Author Share Posted August 18, 2018 Soft, sweet and magic. Has Brazilian rosewood back and sides so is very warm and mellow, not at all ‘boxy’ like many parlours can be. It has nylon strings and I tune it to E flat as it needs some tlc one day, but plays great Had it 11 or 12 years, it’s a real keeper.

leftybassman392 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 That'll be worth a few bob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuyR Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Lovely, good to have the original case too, which I guess that is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as much as we’d think, it’s had a bridge and tuner change and many repairs. The 30’s ones with metal strings and X bracing are the ones that demand serious coin.
