Martin D18GE. Seems to be the less easy one to find at local Martin dealers. Since I'm GAS free that might be a good thing actually. I would also like to play some of the Eastman, Stanford Furch and Stonebridge dreads. That's all!

I have yet to try anything by Steve Klein. I'm really looking forward to it.

Hi All:
Though I doubt I will ever be lucky enough...it sure would be awesome to play one of the 91 Pre-War Martin D-45's...just to see, feel, and hear what the legend is truly like...
Very Best Regards

Unfortunately, I'm 16 and I haz no moneez.
I have never heard a YouTube video with sound production that good. Not only is the story of the Tunnel 13 guitar wonderful, and not only is the guitar beautiful, but if it sounds that good on YouTube, imagine how good it must sound in person.

I had never heard of this guitar before, but now, I guess I'm glad I haven't got the money to pay for one.

You won't be disappointed. I'm just an old strummer, but he didn't care and let me play some of his guitars at the Miami Beach show a couple years ago. He was also one heck of a nice guy, just the kind you want to buy a guitar from.

I'd be really interested to check out the sound as to my mind Klein was one of the only guys to really run with the Kasha-Schneider idea in steel-strings. While much of that school of thinking has been abandoned (due to poor choices in development IMO) I'd be intrigued to see how they relate to my current reference for a really great guitar, the Somogyi Modified Dreadnought. I've always loved the look of Klein's guitars although they're probably just a bit too big for me to play comfortably.

I'd love to try a nice, pre-war D-28 and a Henderson to get things rolling. The list could get pretty long!

I'm sure these are awesome guitars (no argument), but I've heard a few Youtube videos that sound this good from cheaper import dreads. A lot of it boils down to the Youtube compatibility of the recording device, file type and audio type used in the uploaded file (sorry to sound way too technical ). Carry on.......

Well, my tastes are pretty simple. At the moment, I would like to try one of the SilverCreek's. Solid wood that cheap just gets my curiousity up, and I can't find any dealers locally - I've just seen them on line.

And any "graphite" or other synthetic guitar (Cargo's??). Just can't believe they can sound as good as wood. Never really cared for the sound of Ovations, so I doubt I would like them - but, you never know 'til you try!!

Really, I would like to try the Yamaha LL16, or the LLX26. I wish I could find one to try....
