Re: The Acoustic Thread
Do you think my Walden might tick your boxes? I was just in the shed making up a big box for my guitar cases but the large Walden case wouldn't fit. For a moment there I thought, oh fuck it. I'll just sell it.

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Ahhh I think you're right, for some reason I thought it had a rosewood top too!

Re: The Acoustic Thread
Another thing I was considering was the Martin OOO Jr, altho' this is a dread version vs a full size its interesting how good the Jr sounds to me...

Re: The Acoustic Thread
All 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.Molly wrote: ↑Wed Feb 23, 2022 10:57 amActually, I was going to ask you for a bit of info so I could list it and seem like I know what I'm talking about...?

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.
