Very, very nice. SMH, damn dude, I'm jealous. What an awesome guitar!

I've lusted after one for a long time, but settled for a nice Takamine. It sounds good, but I've ALWAYS wanted a Martin.

Thanks so much for posting the photos, brother. :thumbup:

Thanks guys, this guitar is really something special! Eddie Vedder often uses one too.

I went to a huge music store in Chicago and played Martins that were $3,000+ and something about this one really "struck a chord" with me. To my ear, it sounds as sweet as honey on the high-notes but it's as mellow as a Sunday whiskey on the low-end. True love!

And those Takamine are damn good too! There is a reason why you'll see so many on stage with some top performers. They sound great!
 
Martin Guitar is 30 minute by high way 20 by back roads from my house, I knew a few people who worked there when I was workin' for the county, got to see inside the shop/factory a few times and even went on the tour once. They are proud of their guitars and it's apparent in their employees. On a side note, my brother's in Anchorage and he's been there almost 30 years now but when he first got up there he did all kinds of jobs, playin' music and teachin' music were 2 ways he made extra money.

He used to teach in a music store where he also did repairs to musical instruments so he know his stuff and is able to play just about anything that makes a sound especially guitar. He's in his mid 50s and has had a guitar slung over his shoulder since he was 12 years old. Here he is at 15 or 16 livin' with me and the ol' lady when we had the farm back in the late 70s, early 80s,

Some older lady came into his music store because she wanted to know the best way to ship a mandolin back down to the lower 48 so she pulls it out and my my brother starts to clean it up and tune it for her because she'd never heard it played before and he thought she would like to hear it he played it for her while he told her a little about the mandolin because she knew it was old because it was her grandfather's but that was it.

Turns out it was a Martin Mandolin one of the first that were made and she was goin' to send it back to Martin for their museum. After hearing my brother play it that afternoon and how he lovingly took care of it not askin' her for money just an opportunity to play it she gave it to him under the agreement that he never sell it just enjoy it and play it but if on the off chance he didn't want it anymore to donate it to Martin in her name.

I gotta see if I can find a pic of it or get him to send me one on Facebook so I can post it up for ya BB.

Sorry for the long post, I thought you'd appreciate the story, I'm sure you'll appreciate it more if I can put up a pic or three. :) On with the game. ;)

How about a knife and a knice tbone steak?

BTW that was breakfast for the family a couple weeks ago, right before the shoulder surgery, probably the last meal I made.

oops I got the wrong pic, I'll be right back unless someone beats me to it.
 
I use a Yamaha YTR-431T as my main trumpet. Like you said Blues, something about it that connected with me.
Are their newer models that are better like the Selmer line or Bach Stradivarius?..sure.
But my baby is broken in with a nice warm inviting tone which I just love :)
 
It's my kitchen prep knife, it eats up peppers and onions and makes tissue paper thin slices of tomatoes.
 
When I pick up my ribeye I'll snap a pick with a t-bone if no one else has.. time to start contributing again.
 
Ted, that's an awesome story about the mandolin, I never even knew that they made them at some point! I'd love to see pics of it if you get a chance.

P.S. Hope you're recovering well after the surgery. My grandmother just had shoulder surgery about 2 weeks ago and she's recovering pretty well:thumbup:
 
Had Autocad class after work, damn 17 hour day. Completely forgot about the t-bone. My bad guys.
