Just enjoy playing & don't call it 'she'
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
The mahogany looks nicer, though!
Have now finalised setup on V300. Martin MM12. Phospher Bronze were a little nicer, but I think I will keep with Monels because of longer life. Martin white plastic bridge pins are fine so I've kept them on having swapped them in initially. Action considerably lowered to 2mm for 6th string at 12th fret and a (for me) really quite low 1.25mm for 1st string. The only unusual thing was that I needed to more or less completely loosen off the neck relief and the neck still has a good gentle bow with no buzzing. Observe. The neck is slightly narrow for me but the lower action has helped me to get my left hand fingers down without damping adjacent strings.
The action is now much better playability wise and I continue to be impressed with the tone of this lovely little instrument. Hopefully there is some more improvement to come as the top plays in. Do mahogany tops play in? Never had one before.
Lovely. Would recommend as long as you have access to adjust action, which was high. That's not a criticism. Many manufacturers ship high actions.
Well done Vintage. How do you do it at the price!
