Default UMGF/AGF Dread pictures

A couple of months ago I made these 2 style 28 semi-Martins and I have been asked for pictures several times. I was slow to get this done, but I finally did rise to it. MInd you, I am not totally happy with the result, but I have made pages for each guitar on my site and maybe I'll get around to better images before they are shipped to new owners.

Here is the AGF Tribute.

And, here is the UMGF Tribute.

These guitars are surprisingly different from each other, and I'd be hard pressed to say which you'd like. The UMGF is far more powerful, almost certainly the strongest Dread I've made, and it is as balanced as a dread this strong can be, with VERY FAT trebles as well as the strong low end expected. The AGF is far more articulate however, and it the one I find myself reaching for. But let's face it, I am an OM kinda guy, and a variety of possibly expressions is my thing. And while the AGF will certainly stomp most any OM into the ground, if I were going to a shoot out, I'd be a fool not to grab the other one.
