Dear Sounding Board Readers

Rosewood ebony mahogany and spruce My ancestors and I have been very fortunate that these traditional guitar woods have been available in sufficientquantities to allow us to craft the best guitar we can As demand grows andsupplies shrink Irsquom becoming more and more concerned that we have done

too good a job convincing you that these are the only optionsThe recent dialog around the Lacey Act and illegal logging has actually been beneficial to all of us who make guitars The politicizing of certainaspects of it have been disappointing to me personally My understanding isthat the law was never intended to entrap the player but it was designed tohelp eliminate the indiscriminate harvesting of timber through illegal logging by holding all of us in the supply chain accountable for the provenance ofthe wood we use This is a good thing We have been able to comply with thelaw despite the fact that it is tedious and has added extra layers of scrutiny and paperwork

More importantly it has helped elevate the discussion around alternative woods engineered wood products and synthetic materials so that we can feelmore comfortable using them today and in the future I believe that there are

tremendous opportunities with alternatives As you may know we have beencommitted to this during my tenure as CEO and now I believe there will bemore guitar builders joining me in this fascinating quest to continue to try and build the perfect guitar

On a lighter note we have acquired some very cool vintage guitars for ourmuseum recently including the very first D-28 (see above) Please stop by and check them out

Bill played Bluegrass music professionally throughout the1970s and part time ever since Now playing Bluegrass toCountry and Country Rock full time professionally again sinceretiring he has found the freedom to perform

He says of his D-35 ldquoOnce in tune it stays there and almostplays itself I also fingerpick as early in my life I took classicalguitar lessons and this guitar works wonderfully in that style Itappears these instruments will long outlast me but I will cherishthem till the day I dierdquo He saved his money and every weekend

would find himself at the music store playing the guitars ldquoIplayed every D-28 that ever passed through their doorrdquo Whenthe day arrived when he was ready to buy the sales personbrought out the D-35 just off the truck and it was love at firstsight ldquoIt has been a great relationship You make great guitarsand I am so glad to own two of themrdquo

They did an excellent job of managing and educating our factory visitors on the building process Inaddition by covering the tours theygave their co-workers time to focuson making great guitars

Joplin Tornados

The town of Joplin Missouri was hit by an EF-5 tornadothat wiped out a third of the city and took over a hundred lives

Geoffrey Pollock (pictured above) was at a friendrsquoshouse a little out of town when it happened He wrote into give us an update ldquoWe were listening to the weatherreports on the radio while we were taking cover in theirbasement and heard the news of some places that hadbeen hit in town They were pretty close to where I live soI jumped in the car and headed for home The 15 miledrive took about an hour and a half due to backed uptraffic but I somehow managed to get within a mile of my house before I abandoned my car and started running through total devastation

I hoped that my house had been spared but when I gotthere it was all but destroyed I still had 4 walls (betterthan most) but the whole roof had been ripped off at theceiling I entered the house not knowing what Irsquod find butlooking for one thing - my D18 that I bought while I wasin college in 1979 After moving some roof and furniture

around I found it under a recliner As I moved the reclinerI expected to find it all smashed up but it was still in onepiece It had a small crack in the top and somehow the pick guard had come off but after all it had been through it wasin great shape

I found the case hiked back to my car and startedhelping neighbors who didnrsquot fare as well I did

I was much luckier than most people I still have the onething that I owned that I couldnrsquot have replaced Some

folks were left with nothingIt will be many years until Joplin gets back to normal

but little things like finding that guitar gave me hope for a great future

ldquoIrsquom calling the guitar my Martin D18 EF-5 editionnow I cleaned it up put on new strings and it sounds asperfect as it always hasrdquo

A Silent Servant With No Name We recently received an interesting and compelling messagefrom a lifelong Christian minister who along with his obviousspiritual connection is also a musician and lover of Martinguitars In his own arsenal of Martins he cherishes threeDreadnoughts a D-28 Marquis a D-35 and a D-42 Thestory as he relayed it to us is that three years ago he was toldldquoby Godrdquo to acquire five Martin guitars and gift them to five

special and specific people At the time the minister who inhis humility has suggested to us that his name is notimportant only had enough money for one D-35 Martinguitar which he promptly gifted as instructed He waited formore money to appear and it seemed like it wasnrsquot going tocome He was facing a serious operation and asked his wife if she would finish his mission in the event that he didnrsquot makeit through

He woke up a month later after extensive surgery and couldnot move or walk His daughters told him later that all he

talked aboutin his direstate was Godand Martinguitars butinside he wasdetermined

to get back to normal After a year transpired he was able to walk with a caneMiraculously the money began to come in and he

contacted a prominent Martin dealership eventually buying three more Martin D-35s and a D-16GT

His message thanked us for the beautiful works of art Inthe end five people experienced the ldquobest day of their livesrdquo

He is thankful for ldquobeing chosenrdquo to be the deliveryman forsuch treasures and he wanted us to know that ldquoGodrdquo isMartinrsquos best sales rep

Every good guitar like every good son and daughter

periodically goes home ndash or should go home ndash to the

place of its birth For Martin guitars thatrsquos Nazareth

Pennsylvania 18064 and Mother Martin is always gladto see the kids

Kidding aside there truly is a parental attitude at Martintowards every single Martin guitar ever made because nobody knows better than Martin the enormous skill patience andunrelenting adherence to quality standards that goes intobuilding a Martin guitar

Not surprisingly Martin cares as much about how you send yourguitar back to Nazareth as the reason why yoursquore sending it It isimportant to contact the Martin Customer Service Department inadvance to get a Return Authorization (RA) Number Simply call(610) 759-2837 and ask for a Customer Service representative

Irsquove shipped guitars to Martin for years and never damaged a one in the process Not even a scratch Herersquos how I do it

De-tune the strings with just enough tension to keep the bridgepins and saddle securely in their slots If there are electronicsremember to remove any batteries to make sure that they do notbecome loose during shipping Also and very importantly removethe endpin Some people remove strings bridge pins endpin andsaddle (if itrsquos a removable type) put them in an envelope and put theenvelope in the string pocket of the case Thatrsquos fine but make surethat the envelope is securely packed with wadded tissue paper on topof it so that it doesnrsquot shake itself or its contents out of the string pocket and wreak havoc on the guitar

Shipping Your Guitar

Home To Mother

BY BILL BUSH

Next buy a box of stringed paper tags Print your nameaddress telephone number and e-mail address on one side of the tag on the other side print the Martin model number andserial number Fill out two tags Attach one tag to one of the

tuning machines attach the second tag to the case handle Why If anything happens to the shipping labels in transit thereis a record of you as the owner in two places within the box

Also purchase a package (or two) of plain soft tissue papersheets used for gently wrapping gifts inside a gift box Itrsquos very soft paper and wonrsquot scratch delicate lacquer Do not stuff thecase interior with newspaper

You want to be sure that the guitar is snug in the caseespecially the headstock Wad up enough tissue paper to supportthe headstock ndash top bottom and sides The entire headstock

well of the case should be filled as well as the space above theheadstock (and front of the headstock) You can also tuck tissuepaper on the fretboard near the nut You want to prevent the

headstock from whiplashing forward and backward which ishow a lot of necks get cracked

You also want to gently stuff the sides and lower bout of the guitar(where the back strip is) and around the neck heel so that there is noshifting frontward or backward In short you want to make theguitar inert (motionless) within the case No movement whatsoeverin any direction About the case No guitar should be shipped inanything but a hard case Ever Martin offers a thermoplastic hardcase (which is tough as nails) as well as black vinyl covered plywoodand plush ldquoGeib-stylerdquo hard cases They come in various model sizesand fit quite snugly

Original Geib hard shell plush cases are still floating aroundout there from the 60s as are other vintage Martin hard casesalthough none are as snug as the present variety ndash and snugnessis critical when shipping a guitar

The best shipping box for Martin guitars is the same shippingbox Martin uses to ship their new guitars to dealers Just callyour local Martin dealer and ask if you can have a used Martinshipping box - and do it quickly before itrsquos thrown out or beforesomeone else gets it Theyrsquore good as gold

About packing the case in the shipping box UPS and officesupply stores sell bags of Polystyrene foam shipping ldquopeanutsrdquoSprinkle a layer of peanuts in the bottom of the shipping boxplace the packed guitar case in the box and carefully fill-in arouthe case to the top of the box Like the guitar in the case you

want the guitar case itself to be inert in the shipping box Tapethe top and bottom box flaps with lots of wide Scotch Strappingtape (the strongest) Then use clear Scotch packing tape to cover

handwritten ldquoTo amp Fromrdquo self-sticking label in the corner of thbox top UPS amp Fed Ex have their own self-sticking labels as we

You can cover the address with clear tape but NOT the bar codThe shorter shipping time the better UPS and Fed Ex offer

Next Day Air but itrsquos expensive They also ship Ground but besure you know how many days it takes to arrive in Nazareth andship early in the week so that your guitar does not sit in a hotshipping container or parked truck over the weekend

Lastly make sure you insure your guitar Some shippers willonly insure guitars for a limited amount Others will insure onthe basis of declared value of the instrument Itrsquos not cheap but i

worth it if you love your guitar Mother will approve

C F Martin amp Co offers guitars to fit every preference and

budget but knows guitar dreams have no limits For

those whose guitar ideal canrsquot be found among the more

than 120 models Martin currently makes and who want toconceive their own unique perfect guitar Martin has

created a special place Itrsquos called the Custom Shop and it

is where guitar dreams come trueSituated on the production floor the Custom Shop is a dedicated

space with several workbenches assorted jigs and a range of racks andshelves for ldquoworks in progressrdquo Here just over a dozen of Martinrsquosmost experienced craftspeople build ndash one at a time and mostly oneof a kind ndash masterpiece acoustic guitars

ldquoThe Custom Shoprsquos goal is simply to build the best acousticguitars in the worldrdquo commented Fred Greene Martin Vice Presidentof Manufacturing ldquoWhether itrsquos an individualrsquos vision of a great

instrument a uniquely appointed model one of our dealers thinks will appeal to his or her clientele or a guitar wersquove conceived toshowcase artisan building each Custom Shop instrument is crafted asif we were making it for ourselvesrdquo

Custom guitars have been an element of Martin productionsince the company was founded in 1833 A number of Martinguitars from the 19th and early 20th century show customfeatures and custom Martins from the 1930s through the 1950shad an ldquoSrdquo suffix on the neck block model number to indicatetheir custom (or ldquospecialrdquo) status In the 1980s and 1990scustom Martinsrsquo neck blocks were simply stamped ldquocustomrdquo But

until recently all custom Martins were built on the main shopfloor alongside their non-custom siblings

The concept of a separate stand-alone Custom Shop began to gainmomentum approximately 10 years ago but didnrsquot come tofruition until 2005 ldquoWe had a custom administrator who handledand followed custom orders on the shop floor but knew we could

do morerdquo Greene recalled ldquoIn 2005 I proposed we create a separate custom area with a separate workforce with the capability to handcraft unique instruments using traditional techniques ndash likecarving necks by hand and hide glue construction - that didnrsquot lendthemselves to our standard production process We started theCustom Shop with a staff of five it began by building the Authenticline and slowly took on custom buildingrdquo Today the Custom Shophas a staff of eleven plus three design consultants who work withcustomers dealers and builders to assure Custom Shop instrumentsare everything they can be

ldquoThe number one challenge of the Custom Shop is timerdquoGreene noted ldquoIt takes time to build instruments of the quality Custom Shop customers demand to hand-carve the necks to cut

the pearl to shape the braces and all the rest In the Custom Shop we take whatever time is needed to make these instrumentsexceptional Judging by the number of orders theCustom Shop receives people recognize the value of

what we are crea tingrdquoldquoThe Custom Shop team includes several of

Martinrsquos most experienced builders The average tenure with Martin is 25 years and there are a few who areapproaching the 40-year markrdquo Custom Shop guitarsare built almost entirely by this small staff in theCustom Shop only operations requiring largespecialized equipment ndash like side bending andfinishing - are done on the main shop floor

While all orders for Custom Shop guitarsmust be made through authorized C F Martinamp Co dealers prospective Custom Shopcustomers now have a great tool they can utilizeto design their dream guitar the Custom GuitarConfigurator Accessible on-line at

wwwmartinguitarcom the Custom GuitarConfigurator lets the user ldquovirtuallyrdquo create a guitar from a range of Martinrsquos most popular options see their creation and get a suggestedretail price quote The information then can be printed out for useas a reference during the order process

The Custom Shop offers a remarkable range of options(actually more than shown in the Configurator) sizes body styles scale lengths tonewoods neck profiles appointments

inlays and more Are there limits to what the Custom Shop wibuild As they sometimes say in the Custom ShopldquoWe try to never say ‛norsquo we only say ‛how muchrsquordquo In truth

there are some projects Martin wonrsquot tackle among themreplicating a Martin Custom Artist model or SignatureEdition (to respect the artistrsquos vision for hisher guitar) and

building with customer-supplied wood (which may not matchMartin specifications or standards)The Custom Shop even allows customers to come by the factory

to select the specific tonewood set for his or her guitar from Martinextensive inventory ldquoAt first it was just Martin dealers but now weare seeing individuals stop byrdquo observed Greene ldquoThe opportunityto select the set of Madagascar rosewood or flamed mahogany oranother tonewood that will become a Custom Shop guitar makesthat guitar an even more personal statementrdquoDespite its limited production and brief history the Custom

Shop has produced an impressive array of guitars Ordersoften include unusual tonewood combinations special

neck configurations or custom inlays A CustomShop guitar generally takes four to six months tobuild after details have been finalized dependingon the current workload and the complexity of theorder guitars featuring special design elements

andor custom pearlwork can take longer Whetherplain or fancy each completed Custom Shop guitar

is identified by the laser-etched Custom Shop logoon its neck block

In early 2011 the Custom Shop introducedtwo limited-production CS models the first

of a series of Custom Shop instruments that will be available for only one calendar year(or less if demand is overwhelming as wasthe case with the CS-21-11 model) ldquoThe CS

models express C F Martinrsquos spirit of adventurerdquo explained Fred Greene ldquoThese

short exclusive runs of g uitars allow us to introduceexciting new ideas that might eventually be looked upon asclassics At C F Martin amp Co heritage and creativity arenrsquotmutually exclusive and these CS guitars are the proofrdquo Readyto create your one-of-a-kind Martin guitar Good The CustomShop is ready for you

Adjusting the truss rod with a special long Martin Allen wrench

Guitars are made to be played and the easier they are to

play the more pleasure they bring their owners The

action ndash the distance between the strings and the

fingerboard ndash should be just right and thatrsquos the reason

every guitar deserves a good set-upFundamentally guitar set-up is simple geometry adjusting

the guitarrsquos neck nut saddle and (occasionally) frets to put theaction at an ideal level - not so high as to be difficult to fret and notso low as to cause string buzz

C F Martin amp Co sets up every guitar it builds before it leavesthe factory Most Martin guitars built in Nazareth are set up using a PLEKreg Pro machine which scans the nut fingerboard and saddle

with a sensor compares the scan with optimal values and thencuts the nut slots contours thesaddle and polishes the frets toan accuracy of 11000 of aninch If necessary minor saddleand nut touch-up and truss rodadjustment are done by hand

when the guitar is strung A fewMartin guitars - primarily Custom Shop instruments -continue to be set up by hand

Even an acoustic guitar with a

good factory set-up may need tobe set up again within a few years according to Lon WernerMartin Customer RepairManager ldquoThe wood in a guitarcan take up to five years to ‛settleinrsquo under string tension and a change in the action may necessitate a fresh set-uprdquo Theownerrsquos playing style and

technique also may dictate whether a fresh set-up isneeded ldquoA fingerstyle player

with a light touch might wantthe action lowered while a flatpicker may need the actionraisedrdquo Indeed an individualrsquosplaying style and technique are

information a repairperson will want to know to do the bestpossible set-up

So can you tell if your guitarneeds a set-up Begin with theobvious If your guitar hasbecome very hard to fret itprobably needs a set-up If thestrings buzz either open orfretted it probably needs a set-up If its intonation is way offit probably needs a set-up

In the early 1960s the four musicians whobecame The Mamas and Papas were a long way from pop music stardom though all wereinvolved in the East Coast folk music scene

John Phillips was a member of the JourneymenDenny Doherty and Cass Elliot sang with theMugwumps After the Journeymen broke up

John Phillips his wife Michelle Phillips andMarshall Brickman formed the New JourneymenMarshall eventually left the band but went on toco-write Oscar winning screenplays with Woody

Allen and he co-wrote the book that became therecord-breaking play ldquoThe Jersey Boysrdquo

Marshall Brickman was replaced by Denny Doherty and soon Doherty introduced hisbandmates to Elliot The four began harmonizingto the pop songs John was writing and perfectedtheir sound during a Caribbean vacation together

The starting point for The Mamas and the Papasrsquofresh pop sound was the folk music all fourmembers played before they got together as a group Songwriter and leader John Phillipsrsquo well-

worn Martin Dreadnought often provided thestrummed rhythmic underpinning on which TheMamas and Papasrsquo band instrumentation andvocals were layered The combination proved tobe genius and even today The Mamas and thePapas ldquosoundrdquo is instantly recognizable

To celebrate the group and its place in popmusic history C F Martin introduces a very

special D-28M Mamas and The Papas

Custom Artist Edition Limited to just100 instruments this new Custom Artist Edition features rare tonewoodshandsome appointments and aunique headstock inlay to honorthese musical trailblazers

John Phillipsrsquo vintage Martin D-28provides the inspiration for this Custom Artist Edition The tonewoods and top

bracing are a stellar combination thatapproximates those of MartinDreadnoughts from the early 1930sBack and sides are rare Madagascarrosewood similar in appearance andtone to the now endangered Brazilianrosewood The top is Carpathianspruce comparable in power andbrilliance to Adirondack spruce andequally responsive Advanced ldquoXrdquo

In the 1960s The Mamas and the Papas were at the epicenter of a musical earthquake

that began in Southern California and sent shockwaves across the country Combining

great songwriting unique arrangements and lush harmonies the group had six ldquoTop

10rdquo singles and four ldquoTop 5rdquo albums from 1965 through 1967 a feat that made them one

of the few groups to challenge the Beatles during that era While The Mamas and the

Papasrsquo original lineup of John Phillips Cass Elliot Denny Doherty and Michelle Phillips

lasted just four years several of the songs they created ndash including ldquoCalifornia Dreaminrsquordquo

ldquoMonday Mondayrdquo ldquoWords of Loverdquo and ldquoTwelve Thirtyrdquo ndash have stood the test of time

(This story should sound familiar they laterturned it into a hit single ldquoCreeque Alleyrdquo)Eventually the four traveled to Los Angeles

where they auditioned for Dunhill RecordsOwnerProducer Lou Adler Adler signed them tohis label immediately and two days later thegroup had a name The Mamas and the Papas

Released in 1965 The Mamas and The Papasrsquofirst single failed to garner much notice Howeverthe second single ldquoCalifornia Dreamingrdquo co-

written by John and Michelle Phillips reachedNo 4 on the charts The grouprsquos debut album If

You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears was releasedin early 1966 and rose to No 1 quickly followedby the single ldquoMonday Mondayrdquo which also hitNo 1 and later won a Grammy Award for ldquoBestContemporary Group Performancerdquo

While The Mamas and The Papasrsquo personallives became increasingly turbulent over the nexttwo years their music continued to flourish they recorded three additional albums ndash The Mamasand The Papas Deliver and The Papas and TheMamas ndash that went ldquoTop 20rdquo and in turn yieldedseveral ldquoTop 20rdquo singles

In 1968 bitter infighting between memberscaused the group to disband Due to contractualobligations they reunited briefly in 1971 to makethe People Like Us album and then went theirseparate ways Cass Eliot had a flourishing solocareer that was cut short by her death in 1974

John Phillips continued to write songs and bothhe and Denny Doherty performed and recordedas solo acts In the 1980s and 1990s they occasionally reunited to tour as members of the

New Mamas and Papas John Phillipsdied in 2001 Denny Doherty died in2007 Michelle Phillips enjoyed a successful acting career and today isthe last surviving original memberof the group

Despite the grouprsquos short history TheMamas and The Papasrsquo musical legacy remainsundiminished the group was inducted into theRock amp Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and received a

Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 2001 In 2003 If You Can Believe Your Eyes and Ears was ranked127 on Rolling Stone magazinersquos list of the 500greatest albums of all time

Dear Sounding Board Readers

Rosewood ebony mahogany and spruce My ancestors and I have been very fortunate that these traditional guitar woods have been available in sufficientquantities to allow us to craft the best guitar we can As demand grows andsupplies shrink Irsquom becoming more and more concerned that we have done

too good a job convincing you that these are the only optionsThe recent dialog around the Lacey Act and illegal logging has actually been beneficial to all of us who make guitars The politicizing of certainaspects of it have been disappointing to me personally My understanding isthat the law was never intended to entrap the player but it was designed tohelp eliminate the indiscriminate harvesting of timber through illegal logging by holding all of us in the supply chain accountable for the provenance ofthe wood we use This is a good thing We have been able to comply with thelaw despite the fact that it is tedious and has added extra layers of scrutiny and paperwork

More importantly it has helped elevate the discussion around alternative woods engineered wood products and synthetic materials so that we can feelmore comfortable using them today and in the future I believe that there are

tremendous opportunities with alternatives As you may know we have beencommitted to this during my tenure as CEO and now I believe there will bemore guitar builders joining me in this fascinating quest to continue to try and build the perfect guitar

On a lighter note we have acquired some very cool vintage guitars for ourmuseum recently including the very first D-28 (see above) Please stop by and check them out
