Greetings friends!

a guitar can be your best friend — when you’re down it turns you around and when you’re having the best day it celebrates with you like no other..

Here’s my dad’s Martin. A December 1970 D-28, fresh back from the luthier with a new pick guard and a saddle adjustment. Down the line, she’ll need a neck reset.



Original owner :) she grins when ya pick her :)

EDIT - pictures are from before the luthier work, Vanilla is having trouble accepting the new images
Large BGE and Medium BGE

    I thought this thread was going to be about obnoxious body spray. Pleasantly surprised. 

    That’s a really nice, vintage D-28. Bet she purrs when you fiddle with her G string. 

    Depends on the day. Currently, the Suhr and Lowden get the most attention, being the most recently acquired, but I often set up different guitars with various tunings for ease of playing different stuff without the hassle and risk of breaking strings during big changes in tuning. The gal on the right is a Tacoma baritone acoustic. A lot of fun, but challenging to play, between the massive body, huge neck and super heavy strings. 




    (Edit: I can’t recommend the above Journey OF660 enough for travel, or even for home play - even thought it’s Chinese-made, which I otherwise shun for guitars! It’s made from carbon fibre and the neck separates from the body and fits into a backpack for TSA-compliant overhead bin carry-on. The company owner seems like a good guy, to boot. Good fun if you like to play on the go. She has been with me on many trips and will join me on many more.)

    Lots of amps hiding in the basement and only a few kept upstairs. Sold one to a Grammy-winning musician a few years back (via his tech). 

    Standing by for @glennm, who has an amazing collection.

    Feel free to make fun of me.......Roland AX-7.

    I have several really nice guitars and suck at playing all of them.  My acoustic is a 25th anniversary Collector's Ovation (I bought it because Charles Kaman was also a aerodynamic engineer--built some pretty wild dual rotor system helicopters no one else ever got right.)  Then I have a early 80's Ibanez IceMan II, a black mid-90's Les Paul Standard, a metallic blue PRS S2 Standard 22, and Schechter diamond series in charcoal (of course).

    Hadn't seen that one yet.  I always wanted RainSong, but then they went belly up a few years ago and now I'm too worried it would get damaged.  Thanks for the heads up.

    Another option you may want to consider is the Composite Acoustics Cargo. It’s also a carbon fiber travel guitar. I recommended one to my friend years ago and he then got one. They both play nicely, but I really like the ability to snap the Journey in half. 

    Both at home and on the road, it’s nice that the carbon fibre isn’t subject to temp and humidity changes the way wood is.

    If you don’t need portability, look at Emerald Guitars. They are made in Ireland and have a wide variety of models.
