Mark Barrett replied to Craig MC's discussion D-28 vs MMV vs D-16RGT explanation? in the group Martin Owners"I own an MMV and a D-16GT. I poured over the specs in my research, obviously the 28 is made by the "standard" specs, and with out a doubt better grade of wood (appearance wise). I wish I had the chance to play an RGT along side an MMV but…"
Mark Barrett replied to Craig MC's discussion Dilemma 2 (also): My Martin MMV obsession in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Craig, what I did was get the interest free financing. At the time it was 18 months, not sure if it is still offered. No reason to part with good money before its time.
I may be worth asking if there are any interest free options available."
Mark Barrett replied to Craig MC's discussion Dilemma 2 (also): My Martin MMV obsession in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"Love mine. Just picked up a used D 16 GT so I have the bookends now ( I look at the mmv as an upgraded D16rgt).
It would be great if you could play them side by side as Ralph suggested."
Mark Barrett commented on Jud Hair's group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I can see how there may not be any difference...there is a possibility the only diffence in a mahogany laminate to a rosewood laminate is the final layer of the veneer. There may not be any difference in material of the underlying layers.
I just…"
Mark Barrett replied to Jud Hair's discussion SURVEY: What is your favorite NON-GUITAR related pastime or hobby? in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"This time of years it's mostly work, my grandson, and I play goalie in a weekend hockey league.
I also have a nook and am an avid reader.
Spring to fall I tend to the family summer house on Prudence Island,RI and sail as much as possible -…"
Mark Barrett replied to Jud Hair's discussion Martin MMV models ... in the group Martin Owners"New years eve we have a bunch of friends over, this years I thought having a sing a long woud be cool. So at one point I broke out the MMV and made a bunch of copies of music and we had a great time.
The one point that made me happy for two reasons…"
Mark Barrett replied to Jud Hair's discussion Economical Room Humidifier Suggestion ... in the group "Seagull" Spoken Here ... (also fluent in "Godin" Gab)"I just started using a room humidifier myself last week, no matter what i used in the cases I struggled to get them to 35%, with the room humidity increase (case humidifiers still in place) the cases stay pretty close to…"

Mark Barrett replied to Jud Hair's discussion Martin MMV models ... in the group Martin Owners"Personally this is not an issue for me. Has anyone ever found out if there was only one production run? Is it possible to even know that. I know Elderly commissions their own Martin "customs", there are probably more. Who knows what the…"
Mark Barrett replied to Jud Hair's discussion Martin MMV models ... in the group Martin Owners"I bought an MMV a couple months back and am very happy with it. As you pointed out there are two main differences from the Standard. I agree that the bracing is probably the main difference where one could make a point that the sound may be…"
Mark Barrett commented on James Sennett's group Martin Owners"My first Martin arrived yesterday! An Mmv, I am an intermediate player and this is top of the line for my skill set. Love it! And it makes me like this crazy serious guitarist because now I own 2 haha! Three actually an S6 and an ibanez electric,…"
