Are the any former employees of Mars in Indy around here?
And yes, this has to do with studio design, so that's why I put it here. If I don't get any responses here, I'll try another forum, so please don't bitch at me for cross-posting. Anyway, to the point.
Does anyone know what the dimensions were of the what I called the 'Martin room' at Mars? They had a big acoustic guitar room, 'L' shaped, with the small 'L' leg divided into two sort of 'alcoves'. The first alcove you went into was where they kept the Taylors and Gibsons, then at the back (second alcove) was where they kept the Martins, along with a glass case in the wall that had the artist/collectible models. Here's why I ask: One time, there wasn't enough seating in the main room to try out a guitar ( a cheapie, of course - hey, it's ME ), so I took it back into the 'Martin room'. Guess what? After experimenting to verify my discovery, EVERY GUITAR, no matter how cheap a piece of crap it was, SOUNDED FANTASTIC IN THAT ROOM! Hell yeah, you're gonna see the big improvement in sound quality when you move from a Tak or a Yammie to a Martin. IT WAS THE ROOM! Now, I'm not saying that a Martin isn't a Martin for a reason, so don't flame me on that. I'm just saying I want to recreate that room in my basement. I was really pissed that I had to be out of town when they closed, or I was gonna go in and measure it myself, and even try to buy the cedar walls and glass case.
Anyone who can help me out will be GREATLY appreciated!
