I was given the exact same guitar a couple of month back by someone who bought it fifty years ago and hadn't played it for forty nine years! It's a bit sitar-ey on the high E above fret 7, but nice and bassy.
These guitars are great, robustly constructed, and are so easy to play! Bought this one in 1968, in US Navy! facebook.com/100004175190834/videos/1799565653525924/
Hi Nathan,' Thanks for your message! I've done that on a couple 1260's I've restored and although not a profound improvement in volume and tone I think it makes a noticeable difference. Best, James

Nice forward, punchy tone. Ladder bracing I think?
@@PaisleyPatchouli Paisley! Thanks for listening ...and for your comment! Yep, ladder bracing. Best, James
Sounds like rosewood
Sounds just like mine!
Had one in about 1975
James, Thanks for your great demos. What's your opinion about adding a through-body pin bridge?

Did ya change the bracing? Is this the original ladder brace?
Some swear by getting them cross braced. I’m debating.
Id love to hear the comparison to one of these and a d18.
did you write this? It's real nice.
Dr. H- thank you- yes, I wrote it.
Best regards,
James
Strings?
What's the tuning sounds really good?
Hi, thanks for your message! The guitar is in standard tuning. Best, James
@@RoadtoastGuitars thanks for the response! love your videos you made with this guitar
Nice playing. People usually play such, droll, predictable shit on acoustic.
Thanks!
