  1. 1) I like the black pickguard on the D28.  It says "i'm not fucking around".
    1a) always think it's funny that they bevel the pickguard on the D41... but that's... that's the threshold you need to reach to get a pickguard with a beveled edge
    2)DMafia represent
    3) I want a D18 if anyone is shopping for presents (will also accept a d35)
    4) AUTF if you have the OOO available we need that too
     
     
    I'm recovering a sore back at my girl's place and only brought the D18 over. If I make a run home I'll get one of the 000.

    Also, you're making me think I'm gonna need a rosewood backed dreadnought to complete my Martin collection. Maybe a mahogany topped something or other too.
  2. I've learned this today that a friend I used to play music with in San Diego in the ICU and on a ventilator with the Corona.

    This is from 2011, he's on the Telecaster, my Gretsch Billy Bo was brand new back then.

    I just saw that my friend was taken off the ventilator today. They'de been trying to bring him out of a coma to remove it for a few days. I learned he was in with this on April 6, today's the 21st. That's a motherfucker, but I'm glad he made it.

    Just updating for the well wishers. Thank you.

  3. Had one year of pretty heavy touring, including Warped Tour.  And I guess it got put away wet, and then I kinda went off the deep end for a while (and played only acoustic for a long time as well) and when I opened the case back up it was fucked. Has been for a long time, I’m really excited about getting it back.

    I'm glad I got to see you guys play when you came through.

  4. I've had this D18 a little over a week now. I didn't think it was possible to have a guitar that sounds as good as my 000-28. Yesterday, I was playing a song on the 000 that I had been playing on the D18 that morning and just couldn't get an Em to sound big enough. I picked up the dreadnought and there it was. Man that guitar sounds good.

     

    Maybe it's just the Martin "Retro" strings that are currently on it because they were the only thing i had on hand a few weeks ago. Ordered a few different strings to try this morning. Martin and Pierce made.

     

    I do prefer the neck on the 000 by a touch. I think its gonna go into open D tuning so I can start working on that.

     

    They are very similar sounding. The small one a little more woody and the big one a little brighter, and louder of course. Both with that rich, resonant Martin tone. In wondering how Martin seems to own that tone. You'de think there would be cheap, Asia produced copies out there.

     

    Sadly my Hummingbird just sits in its case these days. It's an incredible guitar, it just doesnt do anything the Martin's can't.

  5. TV Jones Classics.

    The Powertrons in my Billy Bo are a little hotter, but the Classics are the ones you want. That's what I put in the Flying V. I'm thinking about building a Telecaster with one in the neck, but my Tele project is off for a while.

  6. From that "my favorite guitars" link you posted above hula. Maybe you should get a commission. Ended up talking to the guy on the phone and he offered an incredible deal that I couldnt pass up.

  7. So, one of the cleaning staff at my office tested positive. Best way to raffle off my gear to you assholes?

  8. Our band was talking about doing this.  Playing a show with "X"s on the floor six feet apart.  
    1 wanted to get my band to play for the street with every member in a different room / window of my apartment but one member wants nothing to with it unless we can be on the roof. I have no way of getting the gear to the roof.
  9. Well, the way he was playing at warp speed was pretty much like juggling.
    Watching the whole video, it made me wonder how many ridiculously good musicians have descended upon Nashville to be session musicians, but who aren't necessarily strictly "country music" musicians. I bet that half the people who bartend, work at Starbucks, and do construction in that town are better musicians than most people could ever dream of being.
    Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
    Guitar cases in Nashville
    And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play Twice as better than I will

  10. He quoted $1,889 all in on the D18. That's a smoking deal.

    Spoke to him on the phone, hell of a nice guy. He closed his shop in December and had visits by appointment only for several months prior to that. He says what he has left is brand new, set up, and otherwise unplayed. He called himself "the anti-Gutar Center".

    He spoke to Martin prior to retiring and they told him that he could sell what was left in his inventory and they'de honor the warranty.

    Pretty sure I'm doing it.
