    I was at the show and Lemmo blew the doors off the place. I am not exaggerating when I say there were four bands who went up before and they were all talented enough, and then Lemmo went up and in two seconds it was clear he was on another level. It was the difference between college football and the NFL. At one point Lemmo crushed a massive solo and the guitar player from one of the other bands who was standing nearby turned to his friend and said "oh fuck me, man, I suck."

    Chatoyant : One cause of chatoyance is the tree being under stress as it grows causing the grain to curl back on itself. This results in an effect that basically looks like waves within the wood. This is an amazing and beautiful 3D look that changes as you look at the wood from different angles. Great demo. Thanks. ✌️

  • @bobsimmons3466
    @bobsimmons3466 Před 2 lety +2

    Brandon...wish you would have pointed out that this model has 12 frets and a slotted headstock. Four such models were offered in the late '60s and early '70s: D12-20 (mahogany), D12-35, D12-41 and D12-45. The 20 and the 35 sold well, but changing all those strings on a slot head was a nightmare and folks began asking for 14-fret models with solid headstocks. As the newer D12-18 and D12-28 were introduced, the 12-fret models fell off the pricelist. How sad. Thanks for your spec-checking and for improving our chatoyant vocabulary!

    I love Brazilian Rosewood. I really hope that someday that Brazilian Rosewood will become more common again because for me as a guitar player and for others as well, I hope that companies will be able to get their hands on a couple of pre CITIES batches of Brazilian Rosewood for some of today's guitars.

    • @stevensnyder1133

  • @notthebannerboys
    @notthebannerboys Před 2 lety

    The reason for Martin shifting to Indian rosewood - 1969 was the last year for Brazilian - was Brazil's embargo on the export of logs. Martin operates it's own sawmill and mills its own wood. No longer being able t import logs of Brazilian was a deal breaker for Martin so they switched to Indian rosewood. I believe the whole CITES treaty stuff comes in way later.
