ALL STRINGED INSTRUMENTS SOLD BY THE WORLD OF STRINGS
ARE PROFESSIONALLY SET UP BEFORE SHIPPING
-please read-
The World of Strings is modern-day guild of highly skilled luthiers.
We precisely set up EVERY SINGLE instrument before it hits the sales floor.
This is true for our Martin guitars, vintage double basses,
student violins, electric guitars, and everything else we offer.
When we sell an instrument, WE SET IT UP AGAIN, making it just right for its proud new owner.
Whatever instrument that you choose to acquire from us is always going to be the best playing,
best sounding example of it's type that one can find, without exception.
When you purchase an instrument from us, please let us know how you would like it to play.
This can make shipping times just a bit longer,
but you know that your investment has already been respected.
Do your best to find another retailer who can match us; you will not find any.
We have a Martin Ditson III model guitar for sale!
This guitar is new and unsold from 2006.
It is pictured with one of our custom-made cejilla flamenca guitar capos (not included).
This is such an inspired and fantastic instrument.
It is a BIG guitar for BIG people that play BIG music with BIG notes and chords.
Howlin' Wolf would have loved it.
Wide string spacing to really dig in and get the most out of every note.
It has great volume and projection due to it's size but does not get soggy sounding or too bassy, even when played forcefully (try saying that about those vintage J acoustic guitars...)
Great dimension of tone from the guitar making it a great candidate for driving rhythm or acoustic slide guitar.
All it needs is the right player to inspire.
Additional pictures can be provided upon request.
