Thread Name: Martin guitars with synthetic bodies?
Subject: RE: Martin guitars with synthetic bodies?
I have a DX1 which I bought in Canada (sort of souvenier) I also have a Fylde Orsino (28years old) both excellent guitars in their own way. I tried 2/3 DX1 guitars and thought there was little difference in sound or playability and I guess that is one of the strengths/weaknesses of such a guitar-they tend to be samey but it's not a bad sameyness tho. I played a modern Orsino a couple of years ago and thought, at the time that if anything happened to my original Orsino, I didn't have another 28 years playing to find out if it was going to mature the way my original Orsino did.
