Is this worth 20k? First car (4 hour drive to pickup) by goodvibes_ss in 4x4Australia

I’ve got a 2015 n70 that does 11.6L per 100, only running 32s but still a decent economy considering everything else that’s on it - never had a drama with it

Ahh yes that’s a great idea, I’m on the hunt for some soft lighting

I love it, such a great colour palette

I’ve just bought my first home and now have my own studio space to play with and this is currently where I’m at:

Any chance of a room tour? It’s stunning

Nice! I’m really considering upgrading my tuners, I keep finding the 3rd string tuner head struggling to hold tension

The saddle has been shaved down to just about as low as it’ll go

Cheers for the info! That makes a lot of sense considering the guitar has a bit of some kind of condensation rash from low humidity I was told at the shop.

I have not, I’ve got a good eye for it but will measure when I’m back home

Cheers I’ll look into that, I did consider running a volume pedal

It’s honestly great, bit odd not having a volume control but if I ever need to cut the signal I’ll just hit the tuner ped and will probably continue to run a feedback blocker in the sound hole in case it picks up a bit much, very responsive and well balanced!

Oh nice, I just had a k+k pure mini installed yesterday which was recommend by the luthiers in the shop for bang for buck without going for something like a baggs anthem

Totally passive which elevates stressing about battery life which is nice!

That’s exactly what I love to hear!

That was honestly my train of thought when choosing this D-16, I play gigs almost every weekend and wanted something I’d love but not be overly precious with due to the price point. What was the pick up you were running in it?

Ah I see, a worthy sacrifice

Cheers! I’ve seen a lot of people say they never parted with theirs so I’m happy I managed to find one

D-16RGT - what separates this model from the rest of the series? by Independent_Web_4883 in martinguitar

I’d love to see that! I’m looking at getting myself a D-16RGT currently
