  Une HS1266, dans son jus d'origine, rien n'a été changé, les pickguards ont été perdu suite à divers déménagements, mécaniques d'origine...
  Action très haute, difficilement jouable mais on s'y habitue.
  Je la joue dans un registre Blues plus que folk.
  Blues/Jazz quand j'y ajoute un stimmer, en son clair, bo son pour le Jazz,... avec un peu de crunch naturel ou suivant l'attaque, excellent pour le Blues, bo sustain...
  Pour les personnes intéressées à divers renseignements, Ntmtdf@aol.com... je répondrai sans problème...

  I've had one of these since roughly 1974-1975. I went out cash in hand to buy a new Martin D-35. I stumbled across this 1266, that was the end of the Martin. I still own this one & recently bought a used one in bad shape for way too much money just so I could have one for spare parts. Still my favorite guitar ever even though I need some minor work on it now. I've tried top of the line Taylors Martins & Gibsons. None come close to the beautiful clear deep bass sound. And nothing comes close to the sublime beauty of this guitar.

  I got one here I am sprucing up for my drummer. It's awesome. sn 5177H1266, with a smaller stamp R-72-15/made in usa which I believe is the date stamp indicating it was made in 1972. Looks amost exactly like the one in the pictures here, though it's missing the truss rod cover and the little triangular bit at the butt of the back of the neck. It plays and sounds wonderful and is holding up like a champ despite sitting around without a case for years.
