Not that any of us looked at the guitar, but does that look like a 99 Collector's? It does to me. I think I'll quiz my wife about that one. |

There had been no sex in weeks, and she was furious. One day before he got home from work, she got an idea. She would get his attention away from the guitar. Oh, yes. She would get his attention." |

slightly more appealing to the eye than black plastique.
or did you mean head to toe flipped, like a real 69? |

now, for my picture caption...

However, it is a little known piece of KISSTORY that one of the founding members of the band, BOZO THE CLOWN (later replaced by Ace) was not invited to rejoin the band. Gene Simmons had cited musical and artistic differences, as well as BOZO's inability to focus seriously on the band's image as the reasons for his termination. Paul Stanley added "he just goofs off too much".
Earlier today, during a recent promotional performance for his revealing new book "Gene can KISS my clown white ass", BOZO lead all 3 die hard fans through the streets of New York with unplugged renditions of such KISS classics as "Rock and Rhomper Room All Night", "Calling Dr. Bozo" and of course, "Psycho Circus". (See photo above).
BOZO was arrested shortly thereafter for disturbing the peace, but was later offered an endorsement deal from Taylor guitars." |

actually, you're wrong...most dreds started in 69, but the two i own are brazillian- made in 1969. other models of martin guitars started using indian after that, but used brazillian up untill 1970-1971.

get your facts straight. Welcome back 69D28. Glad to see you again.
Could you, perhaps, take another shot at the above statements? This time you might strive for clarity and intelligibility. Let me help. In the first quoted statement are you trying to state something to the effect of: Most dreadnaught style guitar manufacturers (perhaps you meant to single out Martin Guitars specifically but the wording suggests a broader interpretation) began substituting East Indian rosewood as the construction material for backs and sides around the year 1969. Your guitars from this same period, however, are somewhat unique in that they were manufactured from the, presumably, more desirable Brazillian rosewood.
I'm afraid the second statement is a little too confused for me to find any parsing that seems to make sense. But follow the above sample you might take a second stab at editting your post so that it makes sense.
All in all, I suppose the whole post begs the question, does any of this make you a better player, or are you possibly another poser that, lacking any notable skill or talent, attempt to purchase credibility. In any event, wecome back. Don't be a stranger. |

Now that's an intelligent response to logic. Try to stay focused on the subject, 69D28. If your only purpose here is to be distainful, annoying, sarcastic, insulting and offensive... you're way out of your league. |

I've sold several hundred, since you ask. No big deal, but not bad for something I recorded in my home in my spare time as a hobby.
I have no desire to break into the music business, I have a family, and a life. I don't need to "play out 3-4 times a week, pulling $300-$500 a gig". I "pull" twice that much going to work 4 days a week.
If you like what you do, and are successful at it, as you say, then good for you.
This is the Ovation fan club. If you want to talk about your Martins, fine. There are many Martin owners on this board as well, who would love to talk about them. But if you are only here for juvenile rhetoric and to talk trash about other members and their instruments, then you'll do it alone...
and by the way...

Location: 6 String Ranch | Hey 69D28, Welcome back and thanks for straightening out my misconception on the Brazilian stuff. I always thought it was the late 60's was when everyone switched but WTF do I know, it must have been the jet fuel fumes got my memory.
To be truthful I never gave any of the Martins from the 60's, 70's and 80's much attention. When I have I found them to be very average, with few exceptions. I'm sure you'll point out that yours are in the exception category and I'll accept that. I like the openness of the older ones, I've got a 34 that is absolutely wonderful and a 65 that would finish last in the bow-wow 500.
Since you seem the expert here were the D35s always Indian or did they start out Brazilian? |

So you do it for the love of music. How do you reconcile this with childishly bragging about how many gigs you play and how much you 'pull down'? |

my original post in this thread, was that people waste so much cyber-space on this website by highjacking threads that it's rediculous. guys who think they're witty and funny...just sounds like wittless banter to me.
hows about discussing the guitar. if you don't have something useful to say, say nothing.
i enjoy a good pissing contest though...but did not start this one.

It's really good that there are other brands of guitars. I wouldn't want to play what you play. If you told the truth which is unlikely, you're in your late 60's. Making $500 in steady gigs. Nice. But monopoly money from the old ladies at the nursing home where you live doesn't count as a paying gig.
It's been quite some time since we've seen a butthead like you, but not long enough. Fuck you and the Martin you rode in on, both of them. |

I'm with Lightfoot on this thread, however, I have to respectfully disagree on one point. A gig is a gig, whether it's for blue haired ladies, tattooed teenyboppers, or lonely lawyers. IMHO, it's not who you play for, but how you perform, that counts. If you satisfy your audience, and yourself, you've done your job.
A thread is only a place to start conversations. If we strictly adhere to a subject, the dullness would be overwhelming. I enjoy the free associative nature of the forum, for the information it provides, and also for the humor it generates. Angry discontent is generally just not very entertaining. Well, maybe sometimes... |

For the last time Bill, if you are asking the question you obviously already know the answer. How hard is that to understand? But in case you forgot what you already know I'll spell it out for you - I Don't Have A Friggin Clue! Actually, and I may be totally wrong, I thought the 35 was always Indian and the big difference between the 35 and 45 in addition to the trim was 35=Indian, 45=Brazil. I could be wrong, but that's what I seem to have read somewhere. Certainly there were 35s built with Brazilian, but those were few and far between. I could post the question on the Martin board for you. My username is "Convex". How funny is THAT? I don't think a single person over there has a clue what I mean by that name. Dave |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I like that Dave. Yes I realize that I am breaking the rule by axing a question I don't know the answer to, but maybe I do and just forgot it? I think that they were always Indian. But then again it could be that they started as Brazilian which at that time was getting real hard to get so the pieces were smaller, hence the 3 piece back. I also thought that they switched to Indian in 68 to 69 but evidently I am incorrect on this information. I don't know when the D-35 was introduced, I'm not a Martin homo. I do know that when the D-45 was reintroduced it was Indian for a while. Now it seems that you can get anything in Brazilian, all you got to do is pay. I posted the question over on the Acoustic Tutt-Butt site so we'll see what they come back with. |

From the Martin website:
When did East Indian Rosewood enter the picture?
In the 1960’s Brazil placed an embargo on Brazilian rosewood logs that Martin required. Their purpose was to attract industry to Brazil by demanding that the logs be sawn in Brazilian mills. This was unsatisfactory, and Martin changed to similar product, East Indian rosewood from India. In addition to the embargo, there was another basic problem in acquiring Brazilian rosewood. The available supply of large rosewood trees, in which the processed wood is wide enough for two-piece Dreadnought backs, was depleted. The shortage of wide pieces led to the introduction of the D-35 with a 3-piece back, in 1965. We ceased using Brazilian rosewood in standard production for complete sets of back and sides in 1969.
Then in June of 1992, CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) which is an international treaty signed by 115 countries, adopted a new amendment that went into effect which affects international shipments of Brazilian rosewood no matter how large or small. In order to export a guitar made with Brazilian rosewood, the C. F. Martin & Co. must first have a ‘General Permit’ from the U. S. Department of Agriculture, and secondly we must have a ‘Pre-Convention Certificate’ documenting that the Brazilian rosewood was harvested before June 11, 1992.
This would seem to indicate that early D35's were made with smaller pieces of Brazilian rosewood. Eventually production migrated to East Indian in the late sixties.
Here\'s a link to the Martin FAQ page which includes a couple of other mentions of Brazilian rosewood. Probably as good a source as you'll easily find. Probably no better than any net resource. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | Thanks, That's the same info I got from Acoustic Guitar's site. I guess whistle-dick had the wrong dates when he was talking about the 70's. It does raise an interesting question about 69 Brazilian. It is hard to tell the difference, all those wood grain lines and all that. |

but what that quote doesn't say, is that it wasn't jan. 1st 1969 that they stopped using brazzy. it was phased out over that year. so there were hundreds of guitars made with the highest quality wood for back and sides in the world...besides plastique.

Location: 6 String Ranch | Mitchrx, It's OK. Hal can say whatever he wants. It looks like he's from the same town as Mr Martin anyway, and there's a ton of places I could go with that but won't. Occasionally I do get a case of Eyerectus as we all do. Life would be pretty boring if your friends didn't loudly point it out to you, wouldn't it?
Yes it does look like from what's printed here that a 69 Martin could be either Brazilian or Indian. Changes like this can take up to a year to implement, sometimes longer.
I guess the bigger question is the sound and general quality of the guitars. I have found that Martins from the 60's 70's and 80's are not as good as those from the 50's 40's and 30's, both in sound and workmanship. In the 90's they got much better. Of course there are exceptions but this has been my experience from 39 years in the guitar business and having bought/sold/traded/played/sound tested thousands of guitars.
Yes, I'm younger than you Hal and Mr 69Martin so there are probably gaps in my education. Feel free to point them out if you feel the need.
See you all in a couple of days, I'm southbound. |

well, seeing as how martin's from the 60's go for tens of thousands of dollars, you may want to rethink your idea of "don't sound as good". a few million other guitarists seem to think they sound pretty good...as good as a 1941 model? maybe not. but in all your experience, surely you know that guitars are like fine wine- especially those made of high quality tonewoods. and most people wouldn't categorize a 60's era martin with those from the 70's and 80's. very few large companies made decent guitars respectively in the 70's and 80's. i said companies, not individual luthiers. so that argument is kinda silly. and please all the hammer lovers and other crap-ass guitar companies chime in and tell me about the great ovation solidbody and other hunks of junk you bought new in the 70's/80's. |

perhaps YOU should do some investigation into whom you are questioning, who is questioning who has their head up their asshole(i said asshole, not ass)...seeing as yours is the in same place. |

I would not recommend going to one of their forums and start bragging on roundies, that would be in bad taste. The value placed on those old wooden axes does not mean anything, musically. A napkin signed by Picasso may be worth five thousand dollars, but it's not art! I've played Martins that sounded wonderful, but some were otherwise. Many guitar players on this forum tend to like Ovations, duh! |

They both share the same bithday-Jan 1st(what a coincident!)they both are from toneville(wherever THAT is...probably should be spelled "trollville")they both just recently joined the board(Aug & Oct '05)and they both like to use the "quote" button.(unable to think for themselves and have to use other's post to keep things stirred up)
One would think that by the time you reach the ages of 70 and 79 years old(If they're REALLY that old)they would be offering up sage advice and interesting anecdotes(like Bailey :) ) instead of senile ramblings and thoughtless babbling......I'd be willing to bet(dollar to a donuthole) that "they" don't even OWN or have ever HELD a Martin guitar!!(probably have a Hondo that they taped a C.F.Martin decal to the peghead...Posers)

Guys, if the troll bothers you it's easy to get rid of him, don't respond to him or his posts, at all. He only enjoys stirring up shit. Just ignore him. He'll get bored and bother somebody else.
This guy sounds more like 16 than 70. When a guy has to tell you how good he is, it's often hard to find somebody who shares his opinion. How often does a 70 year old brag about how much he's gigging? And there are plenty of hacks with gigs.
And I believe both our "friends" from toneville are the same guy too. |

Reading the trolls' posts reminds me of a couple sayings my old man would trot out from time to time:
He couldn't find his a$$ with both hands, a mirror and a copy of Gray's Anatomy.
-and-
He's so ignorant that he doesn't know if he's been punched, bored or reamed.
Throw these two back, they're too small.

Anyone who creates two identies, brags about the money he makes (or so he says) playing music and not willing to admit he was had with the string tube joke is psychotic and precisely the type of egomaniacal miscreant we'd all like to send an envelope of anal mites so, he’s too busy scratching his ass to type.

Unless Hal really meant 'feind' short for 'Feindschaft' which roughly translates to 'enmity.' Comment approprié? Or, should I say, wie passend?
:D
Maybe we should call for 'Ende einer Feinschaft' with our new friend Hal? |

If he was a successful guitarist and performer, he certainly wouldn't feel a need to be such an "ass" around here or any where else for that matter. I really don't understand what people like this get out of all of their antics, other than reducing their own poor self esteem. |

Location: toneville USA | i never said thank you to any of your comments. you should thank me for the above link...you know, to help with your playing??
and my rants are an attempt to minimize the humorless hijacks you a-holes always seem to do...this should be an informative site. not a place for so many idiots to chime in with some stupid joke. my rant here is to bring this to your attention- SO YOU ALL WILL SHUT THE F*#K UP AND STOP RUINING DECENT THREADS...i hate doing it, but feel it necessary.
so no, you should not go back to your reg. scheduled wit...even though you have none.

Location: Phoenix AZ | Sir,
With all due respect, and you are entitled to your opinion, yes you may find it objectionable that many here do indeed hijack threads with what you refer to as humorless wit. So be it. I'm guilty. The fact that you are the first member in almost 4 years to take it as a personal crusade to slap us all back in line leads me to believe that you are in the minority. But, as I said you are just as entitled to your opinions as any other member around here. I would just like to ask you personally to please do it without vulgarity and obsenity.
Thank you,
Dave |

Location: Vermont USA | I am only going to say this one time so listen very carefully. I love my Ovation, and I enjoy the people here I like the humor, and the information I have received. So sit back and enjoy, no name calling is needed most know we are crazy. It's all about the music.
