gitnoob, I think you've posted that in the past. Tell me the story about again? Pleeze!

 

~1900 Bohmann Grand Concert. Possibly the first guitar made that could really handle steel strings (double-X braced). Martin started making their guitars beefy enough to handle steel strings around 1920.

 

Sounds fantastic -- very responsive and has a surround-sound quality to it. I admire Bohmann for his innovation and humility. :)

Thanks gitnoob!

the 'Et voila' bit I'm fine with, 'cos that's a language.

Once my eyes hit the -grab- code-radio button - something in my little monkey brain screams "Argh! tech speak!Run away! Run away"

Really must try and do something about it before it becomes a permanent part of my burgeoning old fartness :facepalm:
