Shutins: Let's See Your Dreadnoughts

[Mark Stone]

The one on the right = my Taylor 110e. An entry level dread, nevertheless holds its own - especially after the Sitka has warmed up.

Love it Chris! That one was out on loan somewhere I think the last time I was over. Sunburst looks awesome too.

Lovely. I love the D-41. I don't think I've seen an Ambertone D-41 before.

Thank you sir. I look forward to you trying it out the next time we are able to get together and play guitars!

Thank you! It’s an absolute beast! Beautiful to look at and to listen to! Plays really great too! I don’t know why some people aren’t fans of the MLO/PA neck! I love it!!

You know there was a time when I would never have bought a guitar with a mod-v neck and 2 5/16" string spacing. Yet here I am, going on my 9th year of playing with 4 of 5 of my current guitars having exactly those specs. I grew to love the big rounded Authentic necks and don't need to squeeze nearly as hard with them. They just naturally fill the rounded v shape of the space between your thumb and forefinger. I wear a size L glove and have long skinny fingers. Depends on how you grip the neck too, but the MLO is simply not deep enough.

OK, I'm in.

Martin DSS-17



Taylor 150e w/walnut back and sides (the other guitar [a Blueridge BR162] I no longer have)

I come from owning nothing but Taylor guitars for over 10 years, so I’m used to the smaller neck. That’s probably why I don’t mind the MLO neck.

That sunburst HD-28 isn't too shabby looking either!
