Martin : JSO/JSO-12 "Sing Out" 60th Anniversary Pe
Publié : dim. 26 déc. 2010, 11:47
Martin a sorti un modèle plutôt "original" dans sa conception. Mais avant tout, quelques explications:
La mission de SING OUT est depuis 1950 de préserver de promouvoir la diversité culturelle de la musique folk (traditonnelle, contemporaine). Pour plus d'infos, consulter le site www.singout.org/60years.html . Martin s'est associé à cette démarche en proposant le modèle Signature Pete Seeger (personnage emblématique la musique folk, http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Seeger) une guitare assez originale. Elle se décline dans sa version 6 et 12 cordes. Elle a été conçue en se basant sur le cahier des charges fournis par Bruce Taylor (luthier du Connecticut).
Ce que l'on remarque au premier abord est la rosace inhabituelle "triangulaire" (Martin a déjà exploré ce type de rosace dans le passé sur quelques modèles). Ensuite, le diapason est plus long (27,5, équivalent au bariton). Le nombre de frettes hors manche est au nombre de 15! On connait 12,13, 14... et donc 15! Ensuite, 2 pickguards de part et d'autre de la rosace assymétriques en acétate noir.
Version 6:
Version 12: On remarqera comment les cordes sont doublées. Il faut un barrage costaud!
