Cracks in a 2024 guitar? 😮 I’m under the impression that it takes years for that to happen. I’m in the market for a Hummingbird, saw a few at Carter. I was about a few thousand $ short. If I could play like you, I would have found the loot.

I think the 35 sounds a little clearer, especially on the bass strings than the 28, at least when playing the regular non- capoed rhythm. Much of the time, they both sound very similar, almost to the point that if you weren't watching and only listening you wouldn't know when you switched guitars. I own an '86 D-35 myself that I bought new. From my own experience, the 28 is maybe a little easier to pick lead on because of the slightly narrower/thinner neck.

Cracks happen in Dry heat like the desert or during the heat of the winter months. You ABSOLUTELY MUST NOT leave this guitar out all night in winter. The dry heat from your house will shrink/crack it. Get a humidipak, play the guitar 3 hours tops, put it back in its case during winter months and you wont get cracks, dont be a fool and leave it out in dry weather.

I have a Hummingbird Original and A Southern Jumbo Original.. had both for 2 1/2 years. Hummingbird has 1 hour total strumming on it. Got the frets wore down on the Southern Jumbo.. 5 months ago, I purchased a Martin D18 Standard natural finish.. Southern Jumbo never leaves the case now. So, 2 weeks ago. I also bought an Ambertone finish D18.. found my forever guitar now. Listed the natural finish for sale. Don't want 2 D18s... I like them all. And the 2 Gibson have their place. The D18 is an all around great guitar..

I once went into a Brooks Brothers store to by some pants and I asked how much a particular pair was, and they guy literally said, "if you have to ask, you maybe shouldn't shop here". If I went into the Martin section of a music and shop and saw this guitar, I'd probably be in the same situation. At that price, I would definitely be calling it one of my favorites too, but kidding aside, it would be great to experience. I have a Martin GPC-16e, so a 'cheap?' Martin, but still a Nazareth-made Martin. I too am a sucker for unique guitars, but I wish I had the budget for them. I found this video to hear another D18, but sort of to gauge the overall sound as I am searching for the right 12-string. But - you can't go wrong with a D18, now can you. Is this the one up on Reverb at David's Shop?
