Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Ahem... I have been looking at nylons from both Martin and Taylor but common, no.

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)
I'm on a bit of a nylon fix at the moment, courtesy of oleg's Godin. Never once thought of Martin or Taylor so far, definitely need to remedy that!
Anyway the combination of those three brands, and the mention of 70s D18, gave me the impression steel strings are involved. If Strummer is after a couch strummer nylon, he's a man after my own heart!

How are you enjoying the Godin? I PM'd Oleg to buy it and he said you'd beaten me to it.codedog wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 7:03 pmI'm on a bit of a nylon fix at the moment, courtesy of oleg's Godin. Never once thought of Martin or Taylor so far, definitely need to remedy that!

He also told me it wasn't the right guitar for me and in such matters, I've never known the man to be wrong.
What are you playing it through?

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)
I'm playing it through the Kemper, treating it like a bit of an interesting electric guitar. I also play it through my audio interface, running NAM as my "amp", and lashings of ambient plugins! I have also, once or twice, played it as a nylon string classical through the Kemper.Slowy wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 7:07 pmHow are you enjoying the Godin?

Kemper would do it. I played it at home through my AER but it was quite astonishing with the band through Optimus Prime. I called it my Nylon Telecaster and the thing had punch and presence for days. Made a really interesting contribution to a 3 guitar band.codedog wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 7:24 pmI'm playing it through the Kemper, treating it like a bit of an interesting electric guitar.

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)
Funnily enough I was playing with a 4 guitar band on Wednesday night: A revstar through an AC4, a Gibson Trini Lopez through another Vox, a Cole Clark angel through another valve amp (Artist ?), then me on the 00-28. Yeah they were all louder than me but the little Martin still cut through cleanly and really added another dimension to the sound.

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)
Tried a couple of Martin’s for comparison this weekend (still on no shores)
Martin d28 and the hd28
Both excellent both massively different tone wise
My take is the d28 is the more balanced of the two, and if you only had one acoustic it might be the better of the two. The hd28 has ridiculous bass

Oh have they changed the designation for the Martin John Mayer signature model? in all seriousness though if you see the OMJM can you play one and report back? Kisses!!

Re: acoustic search USA (san fran/santa cruz)
There's one I know well; it's been in the hands of a friend since new and works for its living. It's a lovely thing, getting better each year and that's from a man who never met a Clapton 000 that he could like.
