Changes in Martin Production Methods - Martins & More with Spoon Phillips S5 E1

Changes in Production Methods - Martins & More with Spoon Phillips S5 E1. We're back with a new season & some great topics: many of which were suggested by YOU! Today's topic: Changes in Martin production methods over the years - suggested by our pal Marshall Fleisher (of Martin VS Martin fame). 🙂 We're mostly speaking of the D-28 as an example, and we'll stroll through the years to learn how the D-28 changed from 1931 to 1934, into the 50's & 60's, and eventually all the way up to present day. Is the 2024 D-28 anything like the 1950's version? Did D-28s always have a sitka spruce top? Was the nut width always 1 3/4"? Those answers and so many more - on this maiden voyage episode of Martins & More: Season 5.
This podcast features the conversation and opinions of musician T Spoon Phillips. A writer by trade, Spoon's longtime association with professional musicians, luthiers, and music historians affords him a richly unique perspective on all things acoustic guitar. This includes decades of close friendship with executives and employee at C. F. Martin & Company, past and present, and the host of this podcast, Maury Rutch of Maury’s Music.

Great topic, thanks to Marshall's suggestion. The D-28 is my favorite guitar from Martin ❤ I can't wait for part 2.

[@MaurysMusic]

Thanks Rosslyn! Yeah Marshall picked a good one.

[@slpc30]

You all are awesome!!!

[@MaurysMusic]

Thank you so much!!

This was so interesting that I listened again. At about 31:46 TSP mentioned "some repair guy in southern Ohio." Was he ever a repair guy, or does he just know everything? (OH, and 17 was my answer to the number of changes in the D-28. It was probably way more)

[@MaurysMusic]

17 is probably close! TSP was never a repair guy and he does know everything. :)

Guess I need to find a new hobby until I can get another guitar. Had to sell my 2023 Martin D28. Awesome guitar. Was forced to sell for financial reasons. Now hoping I can get a cheap guitar, such as a Yamaha FG830. I love Martin Standard guitars, and I will get another in the future.

[@MaurysMusic]

Oh no! Hope you get back to playin’ asap

[@lilycat1694]

@@MaurysMusic thanks, me too. It was an amazing guitar.

Hey guys it would be awesome if you filmed yourselves in these - Alamo music also does a great pod where they stick the video up on KZbin which is great for a visual demonstration sometimes!

[@MaurysMusic]

Hi Dom. We do film ourselves. The first 2 minutes of the KZbin version is just that. To watch the video version of the entire episode, we ask that you become a Patreon member for just $1 an episode. Now that we’re closing the store, we rely 100% on the support of our Patrons. 👍

@@MaurysMusic thanks for letting me know guys! (Apologies you probably repeat that 100s of times over and I hadn’t taken note 😂)

[@johnwashburn3793]

I saw the tease and I did the math, 17 is my answer (but 17 is always my answer).

[@MaurysMusic]

You might be right!
