Ulf: Nice stripes! There are some Vintage series photos and specs here: http://216.250.245.172/acoustic.html But none are the V290. There's a 300 and a 310. Let us know what you find out |

Cameron: Thanks! I was hoping you'd be out there lurking. (like the little Great White on the pickguard ) Two questions: 1. What's Nato? 2. Are you sure the bridge is maple? I've only seen rosewood and ebony on acoustics? |

Concerning "Nato" - for the interested (with some spare time) [:D] NATO - Used as a substitute for MAHOGANY on necks and sometimes bodies of less expensive guitars. It is less stable than MAHOGANY. Family: Leguminosa Other Common Names: Nato, Nato rojo (Colombia), Mora de Guyana (Venezuela), Marobukea, Mora (Guyana), Mora Moraboekea (Surinam), Pracuuba (Brazil). Distribution: M. excelsa: Widely distributed in the Guianas and less so in the Orinoco Delta of Venezuela; dominant on river levees and flood plains forming dense stands. M. gonggrijpii: Restricted to Guyana and Surinam, a dominant species best adapted to hillsides on heavy clay soils. The Tree Usually 100 to 120 ft high and 2 to 3 ft in diameter with clear boles 60 ft and more above very large buttresses that may extend 15 ft up the trunk. Trees of M. excelsa 160 to 200 ft high and 4 ft in diameter are reported. The Wood General Characteristics: Heartwood yellowish red brown, reddish brown or dark red with paler streaks; sapwood 2 to 6 in. wide, distinct, yellowish to pale brown. Texture moderately fine to rather coarse, rather harsh to the feel; luster medium to high; grain is straight to commonly interlocked, very variable; astringent taste and slightly sour odor. Weight: Basic specific gravity (oven-dry weight/green volume) 0.76 to 0.84; air-dry density 59 to 65 pcf. Mechanical Properties: (First set of data based on the 2 -in. standard, the second on the 2-cm standard.) |

Ulf: Thanks for the detailed information on Nato. This was interesting: "astringent taste and slightly sour odor". I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to eat my guitar, but the sour odor has always stopped me. |

Hi Johns, yes I own it. I´d say it is good but no top of the line guitar. It´s very beautiful though. Thanks for your help Ulf |
