three years without an acoustic, a lifelong pining for one, and a recent payroll bonus all collided last night. i, hence, bought. . .

I know, right? I didn't even notice til I got home since I spent more time playing/feeling/listening/pantsjizzing at the guitar center.



Thanks, stew, the last few days I've felt like an extravagant bastard, but I have to keep telling myself I NEVER spend money on me... it's pretty nice after all these years.


Paul, I haven't even bothered with the electronics yet, other than the built-in tuner. The kids are up and out for a couple weeks now, though, so im fixnta do some exploring. Found my feedback buster (soundhole cover) the other day. We'll see hear what a martin through a jvm can do. :twisted:

nice choice dots and if you can't spoil yourself when you get a bonus when can you spoil yourself?

Nice guitar. Does it stay in tune? Every Martin I have ever played never seemed to stay in tune.

Everyone needs a good acoustic and expensive is okay if the guitar is a quality one.

Not an extravagance in my opinion to have one decent playable acoustic. And it's not like you bought a D-45 covered in Mother of Bling. Best money I ever spent on a guitar by a long shot was my first decent acoustic, which I'll probably have forever.

Beauty. I love a big cutaway dreadnought acoustic.

PHAT BASS.
