    Been wanting one of these for years....

    Thanks. Small body slotted head guitars are so misunderstood. My D-28P will never be as loud as my 00-21, especially for finger picking because of the slotted head (besides being 42 years older). Plus the short scale makes action a dream. Sent using Hello Moto

    Great move, man-- and at what sounds like a bargain price too! I've played Martin's for 48 years -- nothing like 'em. Pictured is my 1973 00-21. Sent using Hello Moto

    Newbie (but not beginner)

    Thanks for all the greetings! I'm strictly a one acoustic guitar man. I play a '73 Martin 00-21: small body, wide 12 fret neck, slotted head - bought it new and it's my love. I play fingerstyle unless I'm doing a singalong in a large room & need more volume. I feel like I peaked in my skills...
