Once again, Josh knocked it outta the park! And he had an old, beaten-up box to work with. Beautiful!

Best sounding 1947 28 I've ever heard. The red spruce makes all the difference in the world

Wow, a very sweet and complete , ripe sounding guitar. Great playing. I also love the Tennessee Waltz. Do you know the version from Norah Jones, daughter of Ravi Shankar. The master with a non toasted or torrefied sitar...😂

BEAUTIFUL sound AND look. He keeps saying it's a "Smokey Red Spruce" Top. Does that mean it's torrefied or something else??

@ShawnBrockMusic 3 ай бұрын

@@LenCat1 no, the top has not been baked. This top was harvested by John Arnold and Ted Davis in the smoky Mountains, thus the name.

@@ShawnBrockMusic Awesome! Do you happen to know if this is generally the same area that Martin is currently getting it's "red"?

@ShawnBrockMusic 3 ай бұрын

@@LenCat1 no, a lot of stuff they are using is coming out of West Virginia. Martin did use these on the earlier D-28 LSV guitars, which shot the price of them up on the used market by substantial margin. i’m not an expert on all of this, but I understand these trees can’t be logged, so the only time they can be used is when they fall naturally, and that’s what creates the rarity of these tops from the smoky mountains.

That’s an amazing sounding D-28 ,some of the very best you reviewed. But that’s no longer a ‘47 D-28,nowhere near it if you ask me. A ‘47 D-28 would sound stiff compared to it. Great work!

Maybe a Young Guitars '47/'37 conversion would be more appropriate. I agree it's not a true '47 now, though that doesnt make it any worse of an instrument

@greekflatpicker @Young-Guitars I have a 46 'bone that I just got re-topped from the Martin repair shop. They did an amazing job and it definitely sounds better than it did before. I did a VTS Adi with rear shifted scalloped braces that also got the VTS treatment. I had them do the long saddle and stage 1 aged toner so it would match the 78 yearold Brazilian. Looks good even has some finish checking. I kept the original top too. I have no idea what this would be valued at, but it is an amazing guitar.

How do you price something like that? It would make for an interesting video/conversation with a knowledgeable and seasoned collector like Dale Owen.

The top didn't sound like a rear-shifted brace with its more open bass response. Of the rear-shifted instruments I've heard, there is usually much more punch from mid/bass strings. I prefer a forward-shifted brace for my playing style. I appreciate instruments for what they are regardless of building decisions. This instrument sounds very nice and will be a fine instrument for the next owner.

@@uvp5000 i’m certainly with you on your statements; I appreciate different bracing styles, but forward shifted seems to also work best for me.
