12 or 14

Sorry Stud Muffin,, on my browser at least, Derick, did!    Sorry! 

Derick, as far as I know, which ain't much, Martin has a few parlor guitars that come in 12 and 14.  I don't know who else does, but I'm sure there's probably lots out there like that.  With a model that comes in 12 or 14 that is.

I did not know, and thanks Derick, for mentioning it, that 12 fretters came on dreads and so forth.  I thought it was just a parlor guitar thing.

I would love to hear ya'll's opinion on this review though.  I liked it, except for one thing he said.  When he said it "outperforms" a 14 fretter because is gives more warmth.  What do you guys think of that statement?

For me, warmth is great if that's what I want, but if I want crispness, brightness, punchyness etc., then a warm guitar would not be outperforming a 14 fretter.  But I get what he's saying.  Just kinda felt like his wording seemed a bit bias.

But, now I'd also like to know if you guys know....I've never come across a 12 fret anything other than a parlor.  Do you guys know any models of any guitars from say Martin, Taylor, Larivee, Yamaha etc. that come in a 12 fret in a dread or GA size? 

Cuz this vid makes me think I'd love to try one just to see and hear the difference.  Maybe I'd love it! 

Totally understand. 

In all honesty, I'd have preferred less talking and (far) more demonstrating the difference in sound (ideally with a smaller-bodied 14 fret model as a counter example). He gives his explanation re. bridge placement making the difference early in the video, then keeps yammering on and repeating himself. I eventually stopped listening and tried to find a place where he actually played the guitar to let us hear the sound, but he doesn't.

Meh. While I can appreciate his reasoning re. bridge placement, the proof of the hypothesis (for me, anyway) would be in hearing the difference using two relatively similar guitars, one 12 and one 14.

LOL!  thanks Derick ,!   This not helping my GAS much! 

Re: the Martin video:

I have to say though, some of these guys who do A/B type videos drive me crazy when they do this one thing that these guys did.  Makes me want to pull my hair out.

So, he starts off playing the same chord progression on a few guitars ( House of the Rising Sun progression actually ).  All cowboy open chords.  Fine.  But then!  He grabs the 12 fretters and proceeds to play higher up on the neck; no cowboy chords!  Aaaaagh!!

So I don't really get to hear a side by side or A/B comparison.  Again, when people do this in A/B guitar vids, it drives me nuts.    Am I OCD about this?  Or is that a valid complaint?
