My Mother-in-Law passed away recently and she had given me a monetary gift in appreciation for the work I'll be doing as executor for her estate. I didn't want it to go into the general family pot; rather, I wanted to use it to purchase a gift that would be special and could be passed down to my sons. Given her love of music, I thought a new guitar might be in order.

I had played a few guitars every time I was in Elderly over the past few months, and today when I went they had the Graham Nash model out. As soon as I picked it up I loved it. I played it awhile, played a few others, played the GN again, and went home.

After an hour, I knew that this guitar was the one. I went back, played it some more, and bought it.

It's a beautiful instrument, and I love the playability and tone. It isn't the loudest guitar I've ever... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (Dick in MI) http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26210 Fri, 21 Nov 2003 19:23:03 PST <![CDATA[ non-original pickguard on a vintage Martin ]]> http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26204/t/non-original-pickguard-on-a-vintage-Martin.html
Do most Martins of this era even generally have the original pickguard ?

Also, does having the original case count for much for a guitar of this vintage ? Does anyone really care about the case ?

Would a more modern case actually be more desirable if the original case was ragged out ? ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (torch9999) http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26204 Fri, 21 Nov 2003 18:52:48 PST <![CDATA[ Newbe questions ]]> http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26203/t/Newbe-questions.html
I just stumbled onto UMGF last week, and I have learned a lot just pa-rousing the boards, but I do have some questions that were raised while looking at other posts.

My wife got me an early Christmas present, a D-16RGT. We purchased it from Appalachian Bluegrass in Catonsville, MD. I tried about 8 guitars in my price range, but the D-16RGT sounded the best to my ears. For what it's worth, my wife thought it sounded the best too, even thought she liked the look of the Taylor guitars better. The only other one I was considering was the DC-16GTE, but the dead strings kind of turned me off. Howard, the salesman who was helping me, changed the strings, but the combination of the cut away, and the lack of rosewood made a difference in the sound, I still liked the D-16RGT better.

Now to my questions:

Its amazing to me that there have heard of so many bridge lift problems from people on this forum. I think that forum memebers should get the cream of the crop and leave the others for the general population. feeds@kickapps.com (shardy53) http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26213 Fri, 21 Nov 2003 11:21:20 PST <![CDATA[ D18 GE vs CW ]]> http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26207/t/D18-GE-vs-CW.html
I am thinking either a GE or a CW - or perhaps to save $$$$, a V.

Unfortunately, here in Florida, it is difficult to get close to a shop that might have both in stock to compare side-by-side.

I would appreciate comments from owners of either of these.

Thanks for taking the time to offer your thoughts.

I certainly don’t need another guitar but fantasies are free and they don’t take up any space in the house.

I think the OM-35 looks like an awesome guitar so I got to thinking how cool would it be to see a short scale 1 11/16 inch at the nut 000-35.

Does anyone else think this would be a winner?

Nationwide Cybercrime Sweep Nets 125 Arrests
By Andy Sullivan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Attorney General John Ashcroft said Thursday that law-enforcement agents had arrested 125 suspects in a crackdown on Internet crimes ranging from hacking to fraud to selling stolen goods.

The seven-week cybercrime sweep involved police from Ghana to Southern California and uncovered 125,000 victims who had lost more than $100 million, he told a news conference.

"The information superhighway should be a conduit for communication, information and commerce, not an expressway for crime," Ashcroft said.

Those arrested stand charged with a variety of crimes that highlight the innumerable scams and criminal acts that now take place online.

Lost? ]]> http://theunofficialmartinguitarforum.yuku.com/topic/26227/t/Buying-a-used-Martin-and-the-extended-warranty-Lost-.html Hello,
Im currently looking for a used DM/D1 and Im pretty sure that by purchasing a Martin used I dont get the warranty correct? This is something only the original owner gets to take advantage of by sending in the proper info upon purchase. Ive found a few nice ones used that can save me some bucks, but Im curious as to what the warraty buys me. If I drop the guitar and punch a hole in it, does the warranty get this fixed for me for free, minus shipping to Penn? Is the warranty more about flaws from the factory or what?

Thanks for any input on this, Ive read Martins site and the only specifics I can find is send in your warranty card within 30 days of purchase.
