I usually play electric guitar, and I did not trust my own ears. Was this guitar really as special as I thought? Your review helped convince me to make the purchase. Many thanks! I do hope you held on to yours. I plan on playing mine for the rest of my life.Scott MacPheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239377268695489971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10228523619340384.post-60388151510379319222016-04-14T18:00:29.756-07:002016-04-14T18:00:29.756-07:00I thought your review might be over the top until ...I thought your review might be over the top until I bought my own D18 GE. No, spot on. I swapped out the plastic bridge pins for ebony. Highly recommended. Warmth, resonance, sustain, and clarity all improved. I wish I hadn't gotten the ones with abalone inlay (it doesn't fit the simplicity of the guitar). But they will stay right where they are for fear of harming the tonal improvements even slightly. Best $20 I ever spent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10228523619340384.post-61735421789743831752014-04-01T11:16:37.680-07:002014-04-01T11:16:37.680-07:00I have a D18 Golden Era, too and I can only say,

Nice...Heh. Told you about the mahogany, did I not?<br /><br />Nice review. It is rather unusual for a fresh adirondack red spruce top to feel played in right off the bat- they are often notably stiffer at first than other types of spruce, and usually take about twice as long to realize they are in fact a guitar.<br /><br />Play it in good health, Rex.Corey Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15381826721030941179noreply@blogger.com
