I’m often reminded how well Bryan explains things that even I can understand them.

An excellent video with lots of great information. We youtubers are fortunate to be able to access such great stuff. I am amazed how beautifully clean the bridge plate area was and how little damage there was to the insides. That takes skill and probably a lot of a lot of hard work to get that result.

Watching this video is what I characterize as the male version of Grey’s Anatomy. Once again- I learned a lot.

Always enjoy these videos. They’re exciting even. Btw, I never meant your mods were bad by saying that the ‘37 D-28 was the gold standard. Even Martin has kept changing things around. The hot rosewood bridgeplates are brilliant.

Naw... wasn't you. I don't think '30's D's necessarily are. I loved that '34 but I've played plenty that were just "really good". There's another vintage I personally like better. Keep your eyes posted here in the next few weeks. ;)

IMO, the black locust would be what I'd want for my D-35. To my ears it had the brightest sound of the three plates. There has never been a problem getting bass out of the D-35. :)

Yeah, but when I put a rosewood bridge and open the soundhole on a D-35, that adds a LOT of treble and I like to put that RW plate in to balance things out again. If you stick with ebony bridge and standard soundhole, then I'm totally with you on the black locust. In addition to the pitch, I hear/feel a more "solid" sound with black locust over maple. I use black locust in almost every D-18. But... you can definitely hear a difference, yeah?

Another great video sir. I just got my own Martin and am loving it. I got the HD-28V (used 22 years old) but in excellent condition. Keep up the great content.

Fish glue will be just fine. I love feeler gauges if you haven't guessed by now. So useful for a $10 item

Great video! It's amazing how you can see the braces with the light in the guitar body. My 77, D-35 had an issue with the original bridge plate being chewed up by the string balls over the years. The tech I took it to glued a small, thin strip of rosewood over the bridge plate as a repair. I'm not sure if this compromised the sound of the top.., but it was, at least, a temporary repair. Your thoughts?

Bridgeplate caps are okay IF they are SUPER thin, like... .010" or less. Your better solution is to slot the bridge and use non-slotted pins.
