Always use Bob Colosi Saddles on ALL of my guitars….even had SCGC fit Colosi Fossilized Ivory saddle on the 34 Zorro as extra….switch out with OEM every few string changes just to enjoy difference.
Only Colosi on Martin HD-28 also Colosi Ivory Pins on this guitar.
Thanks to Richard and Tad….received a few picks in the mail today.
Dee and I have a food drive every Xmas for the Harry Chapin Food Bank here in S.W. Fl.
every year for the last 15 we have raised between 500 and 1500 Lbs. of canned goods.
of course I keep any good Rum that might finds its’ way into the collection bin…….well I would if it had ever happened.
I’m taking the picks to the bank in the morning and putting them in the vault for posterity.
I have owned 2 F models over the years.
A F of Ziricote/German (Sold) and a F cutaway of Maple/German that is currently part of the Ramuda
I don’t hear any difference in volume and as they both had German tops I could notice only tonal difference between the B/S woods with the Maple being a bit “Brighter”…..YMMV, etc.
Since I have had the cutaway it has inspired me to learn/play many more alternate voicing chord positions up the neck and to spend more time there.
I remember Y’all from the old Forum…..glad you have joined us again.
I don’t know about any “Meaning” to R.H. signing a particular instrument.
He signed my 1934 D and also the “Tree” OM of which I am the second owner .
I will look forward to an answer from SCGC.
Wood and six steel strings………Merry Christmas .
That’s beautiful Mate…. Glad to see you here……
I have 2 signed by the Maestro….. there both very special.
Tad….We would love to hear you on that FTC, not someone else. it’s your horse to ride. Besides I’ve heard you play and you need not make any apologies.
I think it is really special to receive a guitar personally from the shop and have Richard smile when he hands it to you.
Sort of like having Enzo Ferrari personally hand you the keys to one of his cars.
The 34 Zorro is now a bit over 2 years old and seems to have opened up quite a bit. But I remember The Maestro saying that with the woods in his inventory it won’t take forever for one of his instruments to achieve its full voice.
At my age I don’t have a couple of decades to wait……so I am happy that I have the voices around me now that make me content….both listening to Dee sing and playing my guitars.
Merry Christmas , Peace in the New Year and Fair Winds,
Hank
Tad,
That really is beautiful….Please let us hear a recording ASAP…….
I know how pleased you must be ???
