I bought my first Martin D-28 in 1975. It belonged to a friend of mine who bought it new in 1969, unfortunately (from a resale perspective) just after Martin switched from Brazilian to East Indian rosewood. It was a good, solid and serviceable D-28 that served me well for quite a few years both on tour and in the studio. Many other Martin D’s have followed.
So here’s the thing. A couple folks who read this blog have noted in the last couple weeks that I regularly misspell the model name. And oh my, they are right! For years and years I’ve spelled it: dreadnaught. But alas, except for one reference on the Martin site with that spelling it should be spelled:
Dreadnought.
Bad on me!! To make matter worse, I spent quite a few years as the editor of a well known fishing magazine, so I should know better. Ugh!
So here it is, I officially apologize for misspelling the name of this most hallowed of Martin models. From now on it will be: dreadnought.
But damn it, being the lazy guy I am, I am NOT going to go back in all my previous posts and change it!
Big grin…..
Peace & good music,
Gene
