Fellow players,
I've been in the market for a Martin D28. I found a left handed D2832 for $1000. I found out that the D2832 uses laminated back and side panels, which makes it a lesser quality guitar. But D28s can go for about $1800 to $2000. Is the laminated back/sides such a major feature that the sound quality is drastically reduced - especially $1000 worth?
I womder if theres anyway a guitar craftsman can reinforce the interior (maybe with an additional brace or two) to make up for the lack of solid wood.I assume the solid wood resonates more.Also,are there any short cuts to altering the bridge to make it a right handed guitar, other then totally replacing the bidge?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
DCO
