Well, I have never understood the interest in all 'hog gits, but this video is making me reconsider. Seems that 'hog top give great separation and a clean sound compared to the resonant ringing spruce, right?

Great for blues etc?

Anyway, i am curious what he is playing in this vid. Martin000-15 polished up?

I think it's a 1930's Martin 00-17, been much discussed on UMGF over the years, he's been playing it for a long time now

That makes sense. I thought it looked bigger than a 00, but I don't know how big Vedder is! :roll
He has a really clean technique and I was wondering how much was the git...

   d, it does look like a OOO. But, according to you, much has been said about it, so the OO-17. Is definetly a -17 series. Might have had different dimensions & size designations back then? I know some had different letters before them. Madeleine Peyroux plays a '43 O-17. She's small, but it looks more like a OO. :?

14 frets to body, looks like no binding and appears to have a through saddle. Whatever that gives you.

Hey Jeff!

yea, i'm really no expert on 30's Martin's.. just re-telling what i saw over there ;-)

I also think the experts over there had mentioned that the sizes have not changed, although the new 000/OM's have a more square butt, and the very first one's were more rounded.. but this is the stuff for the guys who really study these things, and that's really not me ;-)

sounds good no matter what!

   The lower bout on the '37 0-17 looks smaller in the pic on Ebay. The one Eddie is playing looks more like a OO, the lower bout being a little larger? The newer ones look more like his, IMO.
   Anyone else know exactly what size it is? Just Googled it & says it's a '40s Martin OO-17. Will look further, but some are saying an -18 series that's darkened. Don't think that's the case? The '40s OO-17 sounds & looks right? Another says its' a OO-18 Koa top, which might be right also? 
   There's a pic in AG mag that has Madeleine Peyroux on it that shows here inside with her O-17. Looks smaller.
   Think the OO size is right, now what series?

   There is so much speculation on what the heck it is. Some say a "Size 5" with an aged or Koa top, Some a "Terz". Others say it's a model 194X O-18. Some help? Size 5-15? Back then, a cheaper version of the Terz, with either a Koa top or well aged one. I'm repeating myself. Rainman thing I have! From the Pearl Jam Forum. They have one of those? :humour:

   Got it from a good source that it looks like a OO-17, nothing smaller & definitely not a 5-15. Might have others he plays, but the one on the video is a OO size, -17 series.

Eddie Veddor plays guitar? Who knew?

   Duck, check out the video, if you haven't yet. Fingerpicks pretty well. And sings @ the same time! I never saw him play guitar before this, but I don't follow him. Like his voice though...

Okay I might even if I'm still not ready to forgive him for Last Kiss.  :winkin:
