  2. Here's the deal. Obama signed a bill that says they have to let you carry a musical instrument aboard if there is room for it when you board by law. I always get to the gate early and get an early boarding group. The gate agent is gonna try to bullshit you that you need to check, but tell her you want to wait until your on board to check with thenflught crew. Flight crew has always found space, sometimes in a closet, sometimes by being that dick who takes up a whole overhead section. I flew back last night and the agent told this guy he needed to check his guitar and he went along with it. Got on board and it was the emptiest flight I've been on on years. https://www.cabinzero.com/blogs/our-journey/guide-to-flying-with-musical-instruments#:~:text=Rules%20On%20Travelling%20With%20Musical%20Instruments&text=According%20to%20the%20Transportation%20Rules,carry%2Don%20or%20checked%20baggage.
  3. Rochester was awesome and House of Guitars is something else. Just piles and piles of new and vintage guitars in the front everywhere you look. You walk through a hall on one end and wind up in a big warehouse space full of records, CD's, t-shirts, etc.walk down another hall and you come into the amp room. Its like the place never ends. The whole thing is a complete mess, I have no idea how they inventory, but evidently they do. I look up and see a Martin D45 just leaning against some wood shelf like it was a cheap import. I guess 2 brothers opened it around 1980 and fuck if I know how they do it. One of them was there, nice guy. Looked like he hadn't been outdoors since they opened and he was cleaning dog shit from the carpet by pouring a bucket if soapy water on it. They have personalized signed memorabilia from when just about any musician you can think of visited.

  19. Funny you say that. Part of why I went to GC was that all the ones on Sweetwater had bright tops and I wanted to see if GC had a darker one - and in the store I thought it was darker than it is. Hope it darkens a little as well. On the other hand, the back and sides on the D are darker than the 000.
  20. Or a little one.
  21. Well, this happened quick. NGD! I said I would re-invest in a D-28 or HD-28 and it hit me while I slept that it should be a D-28 to match the 000-28. So I went to my local Guitar Center this afternoon itching to put my fingers on one. All I can say was it was meant to be. Walk in the Martin room and there were none to be found. Walk up to the counter to ask and its the same guy who gave me a killer deal on my Rickenbacker last year - standup guy. Looks in the computer, there's one in the back that just came in. While he's back there, I run into one of the punk kids i know from the neighborhood - I had no idea he worked there. We unpack the Martin, I play for a while, finally go to ask about price. Guy says, "I remember that you bought that Rick from me last year and you'er friends with Frankie, let me see how I can hook you up." He comes back w a price well below what Sweetwater had quoted, so I handed over the plastic. Even let me take the box to replace the one I sent the Hummingbird in! Side tale - as I'm playing the Martin this kid, maybe 9 or 10, asks me if I was playing a Robert Johnson tune. I was! Kid says he loves Robert Johnson. Next I see him across the room with his mom playing some pointy shredder guitar, and the kid could play. Warms my heart when I see kids taking it up like that.
  22. I think it's ebony w stripesyou're thinking of. As Celery mentioned, ebony is not scarce. Pure black ebony is scarce and that's what people expect to see on a high end instrument. There is no difference in striped ebony other than appearance. I did the Taylor tour years ago and they spoke a lot about it. Speaking of tours, I also saw this while on the sweetwater site. Throw in the army of sales engineers they employ and that's quite an operation they've built. I was only disappointed that they didnt show me when the candy gets thrown in.
  23. I'm pretty intrigued by this little Martin I discovered while looking at D-28's the other day. 000JR-10e Shawn Mendez All actual hardwood tonewoods, including an ebony fingerboard& spruce top. Slightly smaller 000 body style with 24" scale neck. Great looking, sturdy gig bag. They even throw in Fishman electronics. It's listed at $799, which is already an incredible price I think, but my Sweetwater rep quoted me $697 for one. Kinda annoying that they put his signature at the 3rd fret, but since my real name is Shawn anyway - sweet as. Every year I go to Croatia for a few weeks and I always wish I had a guitar there, so this looks like it would be a great little traveler, and at a price that I could live with it if it somehow did get damaged. Plus great for road trips, camping, etc. I'll give you guys a better review once i own one. @Celery Man - I think this one would be of interest to you as well. I know you are also a fan of the 000 bodies. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/000Jr10eSM--martin-000jr-10e-shawn-mendes-signature-acoustic-electric-guitar-natural
