Guitar Number One, Dred Not! Bethany P.

My first guitar is a Herringbone D-28 Dred Not, in kit form from Nazareth
Pennsylvania and the great Martin Guitar Company. Don't think a kit isn't really
building, it is. But by limiting the tools needed, it is a great way to get started
building quality guitars.
A brief description - Sitka Spruce soundboard, Indian Rosewood back and
sides, Ebony fretboard and bridge, standard celluloid bindings and purlings.
The top is inlaid with a herringbone marquetry bordering the top. The back
is inlaid with Zig-Zag marquetry. That's a quick look at my first guitar. It
sounds great.
One of my favorite clips is my son, Warren playing a little ditty on this guitar.
You sure miss 'em when they move off to college. Dreadnaughts are great
guitars especially one with scalloped braces like this model.
