Jud Hair replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"Gregory ... I've owned the DCPA4 for a couple of months now and really like it. It does have the Richlite fretboard which is small a compromise, I suppose, but it is just one of the factors that gets the DCPA4 down into the $1,200…"
gregory l ault replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"thanks alot fellas for the input. i've pretty much decided that i'm gonna sit down this guitar and a d-35 and play them both and see which one comes home with me."
Mark Baker replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"Sorry, my last reply contains a factual error. The top-end models in the performing artist series have ebony fretboards and bridges; the 3 and 4 models have Richlite.
Mark"
Mark Baker replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"I had never noticed it before, but the entire performing artist line uses Richlite for fingerboards and bridges. From the Richlite website:
Richlite® is made primarily of paper purchased from FSC-Certified sources and/or recycled paper.…"

gregory l ault replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"i'm confused...musicians friend says the fingerboard and bridge are ebony but the martin website says they're made of something called "black richlite"...what is that? i agree edward the on board electronics set-up is…"
Edward Sparks replied to gregory l ault's discussion martin dpca3?? in the group Martin Owners"Wow, lots of really great features including the gloss finish...Looks like a great deal for the $$$ too...But I like these two utilitarian featrues myself!

Antonio Cotichini replied to gregory l ault's discussion dv-6 in the group Guild Owners"Mmm... I'm afraid I'll go off-topic... Know nothing about DV6 and DV4. Just what I read on an old Guild catalog.
