Charles replied to Kevin G. Lougheed's discussion Just talking about my little 000-16 in the group Martin Owners"Slotted heads are notorious for being more difficult to change strings. However, I think any 12 fret neck design looks much more traditional with the slotted head. I wouldn't have it any other way!
By the way....see the D-16 thread above for…"

Edward Sparks said… - Thaks Kevin,
Though I never got to see him live, I am a big Cat Stevens fan and still some of his songs in my shows and with the band. I have a DVD of his last live concert (1976) called "Majikat" and if you haven't gotten it it is worth the price! It also contains some rare vintage performances on various TV shows as well as a two part interview with him now (well, "now" based on whn this DVD came out, which I think was only a couple of years ago) where he talks alot about his history and why he chose the path he did...interesting now that he is touring again and capitalising on his Cat Stevens" name and fame. I don't mean that in a bad way either, I think it's great. Anyway, thatnks for cheking out my website and if you've a mind to, please "sign" the Guestbook!
Thanks, Edward
