Should have mentioned that both the Gibson J45 and the Martin D15 are 1947 models with obvious repaired cracks and reset necks. One is almost twice the price of the other.

Here's a recording of me fingerpicking my Dell'Arte dreadnaught. Sounds fine to me.

Bert Jansch was more original and musical than most anyone. Most of his stuff was on a dread of some kind, usually a Yamaha.
Not that it matters. He was equally fantastic on a 000-28. Or any guitar he touched. |

This guy does OK on a jumbo ... and it's a 12-string!

John Fahey wasn't bad on a dread either!

James Taylor's early recordings were finger-picked on a late-50's Gibson J-50.

Decision made and guitar bought!! Both superb guitars.The Martin D18 1947 had the brighter sound but the Gibson J45 1947 had the looks, a bluesy sound, the vive and was really cool. Almost 25% cheaper than the Martin as well (always a help).
A great partner for my Froggy H12. Thanks guys for your comments. Daf |
