String gauge / Martin size 5 4 Replies
Hallo - I've recently started playing my ’35 Martin 5-17t again and I'm finding the string gauge annoyingly narrow. I use a 13 (gauge of the high e) on my dread and a 12 on both my 00 and size 2…Continue

David also owns a custom Yamamoto Talus he recently had built. David why don't you post a pic or two? And, maybe provide specs.

I had no idea this group existed! As owner of an old Martin 0-18 (24.65" scale length), I'm interested!

Congrats to your son and his fiancée! The gift of music is a great blessing indeed...
I'll probably end up with a 12 fret steel-string myself someday... :-)

Hello Gary
I just wanted everyone to know that two of my guitars are finding a new home with my son and his fiancee`. His birthday is Feb 7th and hers is in April. They are getting married soon and I want them to learn guitar together. I pray that this will be part of what will keep them together.
The Summit Parlor that I found is "The One" I have been looking for. It is my go-to guitar and I prefer it above all the others.
I am giving my son and my future daughter-in-law the Norman Protege Folk and the Campfire Parlor respectively. I know they will love them almost as much as they love me.
BTW FloridaGull, thanks for the list on inexpensive 12 frets, just in case I get a bad case of GAS. Acoustseltzer Plus does not always work.
Have a nice evening y'all.

25.4 mm per inch, for converting mm dimensions - 50 mm = 1.97 inches, for example...
