Martin HD28 VS
Rivers:
Darn, that confuses things. I'd have to play both. Mahogany is good. But I reeeally need a herringbone rosewood guitar for a change.
Rivers:
Anyone laid their hands on the CEO-5 Martin slope shouldered 12 fretter? Looks just the thing for a CB dread.
waxwing:
Well, I'm gonna advise you to think more about that D-18VMS. I have a '67 D-18S which the new guitar is a replica of and it has a great blues sound. It was my HS graduation present in '69. Volume and depth across the range, doesn't overload and I'm told it will record well. But, people always tell you to buy what they have, right. Well, it'll be at PT if you can wait that long.
All for now.

That looks like an interesting guitar. I don't usually get too excited about signature models, but the Norman Blake model looks cool to me. A mahogany one would have me running out right now to try one!
It's not a dread, though... so prolly doesn't turn your crank at the moment <g>.

Cool! You can have a big honking Avatar and the software maintains its margins! okay... back to bidness.

OK Rivers, we're (meaning myself) are going to give you a hard time. ;D
To some a "dread" and "CB" is an oxymoron. To still more a Martin CEO-anything and "CB" is an oxymoron. What this suggests is that you have a limp "thumb" (sorry just got back from happy hour... heh).
One more smart-a remark for you to think about. Several years ago (I've forgotten which) Mary Flowers, on introductory night at PT(and the rest of the week) played her '36 Gibson L-00 and it blew everything else away (tone, volume, even across the range - much bigger sound than any guitar (including dreads) played all week. So, - why a Dread? ... which tend to be bass heavy (as waxwing suggests).
Been awhile since I've been on the Martin site - big improvement!
cheers,
slack
