Thanks for the kind remarks.
Stan, I see now what you mean about the high crown on the Style 1. I hadn't noticed that before, really. I am not sure of the time period of that headstock change. From what I can find out, they started the decal in 1930, and stopped the stamp on the back of the headstock in '32, which I guess actually makes my Style 2 late '20s rather than early '30s. The tuners on my Style 1 apparently appeared in '52 (according to a thread I found on a Martin guitar forum, but I'm not sure how accurate ANY of this info is!), although they are on my friend's Style 3 which seems to date from '45 to '48 (dot markers, but still has the white doodad on the body). It does NOT have the "Made in U.S.A." under the "C.F. Martin Nazareth PA" hot stamp inside the sound hole. That didn't appear (on ANYTHING from what I understand) until '63. Soooo..... I guess it dates squarely between '45 and '63, based on those criteria. I wish I could narrow it down more! I've seen some Style 1s that had rosewood binding rather than tortoiseshell, and I believe the rosewood was earlier, but I don't know when.
Anyway! Thanks for the comments on my video! Whew! Sorry to hi-jack my own thread!
P.S. - I just discovered another Kinks song that I might have to have a go at, to amuse my wife, if nothing else. A hint... her grandmother was English and we carry on a daily tradition because of that fact...
