Re: The Acoustic Thread
Interestingly the 1&3/4 thing seems to be for fingerstyle but John Mayer's OM has 1&11/16 as he wants it to be more like a strat neck... I definitely want to learn fingerstyle tho' so the wider seems better.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Thanks for that. Much appreciated.olegmcnoleg wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 11:24 amAll solid wood construction. Indian Rosewood B&S, spruce top. Grand Auditorium shape & size. 1&3/4 string spacing at the nut, 25&1/2" scale. Rosewood fretboard. Gloss finish (but its is water-based I think). Walden use good quality woods for their top models (such as this) and their construction is usually excellent too.
Coincidentally, a colleague asked today if I was selling an acoustic. Taking it in for her to try tomorrow.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
From what I remember from my last research into it the OMJM is the only one of that size or similar in spruce/rosewood that they make with a 1 and 9/16 nut width now, all the others being 1 and 3/4. Not a fan of 1 and 3/4 at all.1 and 9/16 is OK as in my Ovation and PRS acoustics but my preference id for the old 1 and 5/8 nut width.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I feel like the whole 1.75 is for fingerstyle thing is the acoustic guitar equivalent of 7.25 radius is for 'chord work'.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Took my Walden in for a colleague to try. Then she lowballed me.... FFS. This is someone that wouldn't know a guitar from a shoe. People just offer less than is being asked out of habit I swear. Fuck it. I'll put it on TradeMe.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Should have asked for double, after she'd made the offer....
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Good idea, nobody will try to lowball you on there.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
I put my Walden on TM.

If it doesn't go that's fine. Just a bit more shipping to pay. I would like a Martin at some point though. I was pretty disappointed with my Taylor (was surprisingly difficult to play - really stiff) so not in a rush to go there again, but I've never owned a Martin.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
If you think a Taylor was stiff, you're gonna hate a Martin that's less than a decade old.Molly wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 10:05 pm I put my Walden on TM.
