I've never seen nor played one? Anybody out there who has? What was your experience? Roger in Baltimore |

I have a Martin DM12, which is the best 12 I've ever owned (and I've had a few - Framus, Washburn, Ovation, Yamaha, Takamine, Gibson B45-12 and Guild to name but some), but it is a bit too tuneful and civilised for Leadbelly songs, really. I'd like to try an old Stella, just for interest sake. Alan |
