Hey everybody, I want to thank all of our April customers who made it a great month! I will be having some more guitars up for sale on the site including a Vintage Martin D19, 1977 first year! I have had many folks ask if I "re-voice" guitars, and the answer is yes I do, when I can find the time. The D28 I hae used for years is a 1976 model that sounds like a 1944 model, and I can make most sound like thy are from the 40's. Why pay a 40's price if you're not a collector? Martin guitars after 1944 wern't built with scalloped bracing, which opens up the sound, that's why most of these guitars sound tight and thin, really mid rangy. I have done a bunch of guitars and all have turned out to sound amazing, and I will be offering a few of these along the way. I do offer this service to your exhisting Martin fom 1985 back, D28, D18, D19. D35 Martins have the thinner braces from the factory and that's why they sound a little more open than D18's and D28's thru this period. I prefer to do Martin's made after 1969, as they don't hold as much collector value as Brazilian guitars from 1969 back.
I also have a new Yates RS Mahogany that is a tone MONSTER! Get it fast, it won't last and I rarely am able to get one from the shop.
I have more fiddles listed, check them out! Thanks again to everyone and I hope to see you out on the road this year with The Boxcars!
