Cool shot from way back courtesy of Fretboard Journal. James seemed to know his way around a barre chord.
I want that guitar he's playing. :mrgreen:

:shock: Now that you say that, Yes, I can see it! Raised Pickguard, tailpiece, and all. Wow, what a beautiful guitar. No wonder you want one Sandy. Me too. For now, I'll just work on the bar chords.Ridgemont said:The Martin is a C-2 archtop. This one has a soundhole, but many have f-holes instead.

Interesting. Martin describes it as a C-2 in this (http://www.martinguitar.com/catalogs/OMJeffDaniels.pdf). It is an advertisement for their new OM Jeff Daniels. Jeff Daniels' original Martin was a 1934 C-2 conversion.twocorgis said:Ridgemont said:The Martin is a C-2 archtop. This one has a soundhole, but many have f-holes instead.
Not surprisingly, there's a thread over at UMGF from a while back. Turns out the guitar is '32 or '33 C-1, the difference being the the C-1 just said "Martin" on the headstock. Both models were all f holes by 1934.

Sandy, I still wouldn't put anything past those folks on the Martin forum. They know their stuff, just like we know our Guilds. 8)twocorgis said:Ridgemont said:Interesting.

Well, I guess that settles it Jonathan! Who would know better than the proverbial horse's mouth?
