Very nice, dodger !!! It even has that herringbone trim Martins are known for Did you get a matching case or is that the one you already had for your CLD-41SCE? That's my originsl Thomann case marit. Not such a good fit as the other HB but does the job

What a groovy looking little baby, dodger. I do wish Thomann would pay someone to design a better couple of logos for their headstocks. I had a band T Shirt designed for a tenner. They could even push the boat out to €25. I agree DefJef - but lame considering how good the guitar looks - the should have it in gold even - especially as the rest is copied from Martin

Just used it playing at a farmer's market thid morning - sounded great through the small pa - but more treble than the CLD41SE but very nice. Sounds great acoustic too - not very loud but beautiful tone

Yeah, the headstock really isn't great. The odd thing is that the cheap-ass 12 string from HB does have the flat headstock like Martin, yet the other once have the "curve". I know your discussion was about the logo, BTW. Glad to hear you brought it with you already, dodger . How are the stock strings looking/sounding on your guitar?

Now you're playing at farmers' markets dodger? I seem to remember when you were nervous to perform live. Now you're a two-gig-a-day man. Actually a year since I did my first gig DefJef. Great to get out there at my age and I'll play anywhere now!

Stock strings are great marit - high quality exp16s again I think

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

I've had this little fella just over a week and I love it. Went back to the local shop to try a Taylor GS mini and the CLA-28VE is a much better guitar. Richer sounding and better looking. Did I mention it's also £400 less expensive?
Find myself reaching for it all the time. It has a really focused sound if that makes sense but not thin sonding like some 000 or parlour guitars
