Hello TDPRIers,

A couple of questions:

Does anyone know who might make a slope shoulder steel string acoustic non-dread body style? Like more of an 000 or OM size body but with slope shoulders by any chance?

-and-

Would the use of a sound hole humidifier (like a Dampit) not be as necessary (or possibly at all) with a guitar that is made of all laminates? (This question is in regards to a Godin 5th Ave Kingpin hollowbody made with laminate cherry wood.)

-and-

Has anyone tried those new acoustic guitar strings made by Red Brand called "copper bronze"? I am curious what they might sound like.

As always any feedback or direction is appreciated. Thanks.

Regards,
fretcom

Martin Guitars with a designation "S" at the end, like OM-28VS or 00-18VS have slotted headstocks and 12th fret neck joints. The 12th fret joint means the body is longer and you could say they are slope shouldered, the OM moreso than the 00. They are pretty expensive guitars. You may look for a 000-15S, which has been discontinued for about a year.
