I didn't realize that the slotted head made that much of a difference. I have two Martins, both solid headstocks with pegs vertical. Maybe this is a good enough excuse to buy a third. =D ♪
Nice. But as she implies, Martin only uses the slotted headstock on 12-fret models. I always thought that the larger influence on tone (and volume) was the shifted bridge placement, compared to a 14-fret. I get that it's both, but I wish she'd have mentioned that, and discussed which is the greater influence: bridge placement, or downward angle on the nut.
This woman in these videos gives to you what's most important, the pride to own a martin. Just love her

if the downward pressure makes such a difference, why don't they just increase the angle of the head stock similar to lutes?
Love this lady! Great story and info
--- Very great info ---
I wouldn't mind owning a few of those curly headstock guitars :-) Keep One and sell Two and retire in the Bahamas.
Really enjoyed this video, but is she saying that Martin invented the slotted headstock?
Cool video! But...anyone else find it strange that the headstock is satin on a gloss body? =/
