What does D-18 or D-28 mean on guitar?

D28 and D18 are likely references to two models of dreadnought guitars the CF Martin company has put out. D18 being the less expensive of the two...and D28 being a step up with significantly more exotic woods used for the back and sides. the HD28 takes both models a step further by using herringbone purfling around the edge of the guitar.

What type of harmonica does Neil Young play in his songs?

During the Buffalo Springfield days he regularly used a Gretsch White Falcon which he sporadically used throughout his career. His most famous guitar is heavily modified Gibson Les Paul which is named Ol' Black (he has an array of other Les Pauls too). During the Time Fades Away tour he used a Gibson Flying V. Throughout the 'Ditch Trilogy' albums he used a Fender Telecaster. His main acoustic guitars are a Martin D45 and a Martin D28.


How much is a Martin Shenandoah acoustic guitar from 1984 worth?

In US dollars 600-1000 depending on condition, and model. Maybe even $1200 for some. This would have been one of the first years for the Shenandoah. There is a lot of different speculation as to what these are and why they were made. Some say a top of the line Sigma was the prototype for this guitar. More than likely Martin's Japanese builder had extra parts left over from when Martin moved production of Sigma to Korea, and Martin's stable of luthiers was aging, and new younger guys were not into using draw knives, and rasps, but power tools. Martin, from what I heard, bought a lot of the tools used to make the Shenandoah, and now uses it to make Martins period. Let's face it I'd rather have a Shenandoah than a DX1, or other modern laminate back and sides Martin. For a Shenandoah in good condition I would say $800-$900 is a fair price. In superb condition maybe more. I like mine, except for the pick up under the saddle. I don't care for most of those anyway. If you find someone who really wants one $1200 is about top dollar the last I checked. Mine has some laminate plate on the neck block saying model D28-32. Martin also used a truss rod in these, and finally started using them in Martins in 1989.


What are the major guitar brands?

It depends on what style of music you want to play. What brands do your favorite player play? Eric Clapton plays Fender Stratocasters, James Taylor uses Martin or Taylor (expensive brands he can afford to play). Gibson is a favorite of many players. There are many fine makers of guitars, and not all of them are familiar brands. Small guitar manufacturers exist and make exceptional instruments. For example, Michael Kelly Guitars, Minarik Guitars, and Reverend Guitars among many others. For a first guitar pay a little extra to make it easier to learn on, though expect to pay anywhere from $199 to $499 for a decent first guitar. If it becomes a hobby it will last you a life time. If it becomes more than a hobby then you can spend big money on a top of the line instrument (although a $500 instrument can sound just as good as one costing thousands of dollars). One more thing if your left-handed, learn to play on a right-handed guitar. There are few advantages to learning to play on an oddball instrument.

What kind of guitar does glen hansard play in the movie once?

I may be wrong but it certainly looks exacty like a Takamine F-360s, 's' standing for solid top (spruce). I have the same guitar 1987 model. Made in Japan. I was told these are the "lawsuit model" guitars because Takamine made a exact copy of a Martin D28 (primo guitars but big $$) and Martin filed a lawsuit to protect their baby. These particular Takamine guitars are greatly under-valued, IMOA. The sound is nothing short of amazing how it projects and fills the room your playing in.


What brand of guitar did george Harrison prefer?

George played a wide variety of makes and models during his career. Looking at pictures of him playing I've seen a Gibson SG, a Fender Telecaster and Stratacaster and he also played a Rickenbacker 12 string which became highly popular following his use of it. I've also seen him playing a Martin D28 (Acoustic). He would have played many more guitars than these ones I've named.

How Much for a 1971 Martin D28 12 string?

That depends on the condition - both visually and aurally - of the instrument. Mid 70s Martins were spotty in build quality. Some were done nicely and stand up very well to other years but most had problems either in appearance, sound quality or both. That being said, I've seen good condition Martins from that period go for $1500 - $2500. Great sounding rarities (like Stephen Bruton's shaded top model) could fetch much more. It really does depend on the sound.
