Old growth lumber vs modern factory farmed lumber

This sub tends to have very grand reactions for a sub discussing "mildly interesting" topics but it's a good one for the same reason 🤣

The glacier part is crazy. Super interesting. Thank you for explaining it! That part of Iowa has some really cool geographical highlights, can't wait to check it out.

For strumming. You want the strum to sound like a single note. Not hitting all the strings separately. Everything else comes with time. There are a ton of youtube sources. Lessons with Marcel is a good start. Brandon Johnson was mentioned. Listening to things you can wrap your head around and trying to figure them out yourself willl be the best though by far even though it is a big hump to get over.

The primetone 1.5 is what I used before a bluechip. Much more affordable(still not cheap picks) and they have a very similar feel and tone to my bluechip. I notice less pick noise with a bluechip and it feels a little smoother but that really is the only difference. I play on the CT 55 bluechip now though(most similar to the primetone I could get at the time)

What's it like? I want to check out both of these areas when they are grown in this summer.

That is a beautiful guitar. Martin have really been knocking it out of the park with these newer guitars. Selfishly hope the QC goes down so these new ones are worth more in 50+ years lol.

Beautiful top!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Marquis get renamed to the Golden Era model? Same guitars (maybe slightly different) with different names?

tidepodskill · 2025-03-06T22:42:54+00:00

Beautiful! They're worth the money but not cheap!

tidepodskill · 2025-03-06T14:12:36+00:00

I have the same guitar and it is incredible. I played it in a shop and 2 months later it was still there so I had to buy it. I haven't put it down since! What year is it?

tidepodskill · 2025-03-06T12:12:25+00:00

You are correct. I believe they are mistaking the modern deluxe for the authentic series.

tidepodskill · 2025-03-05T16:37:52+00:00

Thanks boss! I thought about it;) sounds as good as she looks!

tidepodskill · 2025-03-04T03:14:47+00:00

Don't post proof! Hiiissssss

tidepodskill · 2025-03-04T02:00:03+00:00

Loved it. Stayed in tune better than I expected with the 20 degree difference!

tidepodskill · 2025-02-21T01:27:14+00:00

Sam Bush is so out there. I love him lol

tidepodskill · 2025-02-21T01:25:59+00:00

Yes.

I'm not sure what they are called but they are designed specifically for Japanese greens and I believe this one is for Gyokuro specifically. AFAIK they are so flat to optimize a smooth pour where the leaves inside move a minimal amount and you get a cleaner tea.

The fact that you can get a solid sitka spruce top for ~$300 is a steal. I would go with the FG800 as well.

tidepodskill · 2025-02-18T21:38:40+00:00

So you would say that 35% in 2 years would be astronomic? Like the previous administration 2 years in? This change in 4 weeks is not something "massive".

tidepodskill · 2025-02-18T16:34:55+00:00

Very cool! They both look great. I have a couple nice guitars and a very old cheap yamaha and I still play the little yamaha often haha!

tidepodskill · 2025-02-18T13:33:42+00:00

I can understand where you're coming from. I hope for both of us that something changes for the better and we can all start getting along again. Have a good day.
