<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 9492818, member: 55"]Yes, that's what I've always seen. But maybe the maker was trying to keep it very light. Lightness certainly is a virtue...the best-sounding guitar I own is a rosewood Henry Mason from around 1910, parlor-guitar size; it has an unusual bracing pattern that makes it lighter than a Martin of that vintage...and it is just incredibly resonant, and louder than most D-18s. If I'm holding it in a room where other guitars are being played, it picks up the vibrations and practically dances in my hands even before I touch the strings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
