I would have bid, but the shipping charge was way out of line.

Happy New Year All.

This is my first post here at the UMGF. I've had my Martin D-28 since the Spring of 1997 whne I bought it new. It was made in 1993, according to the info on the Martin Website.

Truthfully, I've been playing my Rickenbackers and Teles so much more over the years, I've overlooked my expensive acoustic treasure. My father never was impressed with my guitar-playing and often remarked scornfully: "Ya oughta git a Martin, after all Willie uses one.." :\
After my father passed in 1997, I took his advice to heart and bought my D-28 over a D-18, preferring the warmth of Rosewood to Mahogany.
Over the last week I've been strumming my D-28 some 2+ hours per day and having a ball! I'm glad to have found this forum and it has helped me appreciate my wonderful D-28 even more.

But those matching Brazilian rosewood D-45s were gear fab to say the least. Brick red, perfectly straight grained sides, baby bottom smooth tops, less than a year old and the tv studio lights made the pearl inlay dance around like lit fuses. Chimey and brilliant and clear as bells.

The songs I saw were Teach Your Children, Right Between the Eyes, Lee Shore and (the then brand new) Traction in the Rain.

Those VOICES! Those D-45s! It was really great. I hope to catch again and tape it. If anyone can tape it and transfer it to DVD, I will be happy to pay for my copy.

1) A Behringer “Ultracoustic” ALX1000 (60x2) watt Guitar Amp (made specifically for acoustic guitars).
2) A Behringer Europower EP1500 (2x700) watt Stereo Power Amp.

Well, I used them both ONCE before I changed my mind and went a totally different way.

Here they sit, in virtually mint condition complete with manuals, etc. (I have the original box for the guitar amp, but not the stereo amp). The only change I made was to put four heavy duty rollers on the guitar amp for ease of moving.

I would put them on eBay, but they are both VERY heavy and the shipping costs alone would probably out way what I could ask for them. So, if anyone here is willing to JUST pay for the shipping (via your choice of carrier), they are both offered for FREE to the first person/people who see this.

I was just thinking back to the hectic pace of last week while playing "Blue", and realized how easy to deal with the staff at Willie's American Guitars were. I saw the 00C-16FMBUAE on their website, sent them an email asking if it was still available, and got a quickl reply that asked me to call for their price. When I called Roger gave me all the information I needed, and then I gave Roger all the information he needed to suck the $$ out of my bank account. Molly took care of getting the guitar set up and prepped for shipping, and even asked what strings I played so she'd get the setup right-on. I also got a great price on a little "onesie" for Bethany Anne. Great packing and fast delivery, too.

Add Willie's to one of my approved guitar stores - I'll be checking their website often, and would recommend other UMGF'ers do as well.

This is the quote at the bottom of Michael Segui's signature. I bought my guitar online...and I love it. Had I had a dozen of them to choose from, I have no idea if I would've chosen the one I've got. We all wax ad nauseum about how wonderful these guitars are, but I really haven't played many of them. With mostly electric guitar experience, I know that there are many misses amongst Fender, Gibson and other nice electrics. I haven't heard a word about a bad sounding or playing Martin around here. I admit, I've only been here a short time, but my question is this:

Does Martin make bad guitars??

I know we're all searching for "the one" and maybe a Martin that you had wasn't quite it, so you traded, sold, or otherwise don't own it. And we've all seen a really lousy playing strat, or a heavy dead Les Paul. But have you really ever seen a dog of a Martin?

That is one beautiful guitar. Only 3600 Euros.

note to self.... subtle hints to D50 Ed have not worked. He still hasn't given me the Stills. Must try more aggressive approach this year. Chain myself to his Mercedes? No.... that might hurt. ah ha! Chain Don Hurley to Ed's car. Don's half blind and won't know the difference.... yeah, that'll work.... Give me the dread or the limey becomes a speed bump!

lol... just joking. I wouldn't chain Don. I'd use Monahan:lol


Any of you who have played a Stills know that it is a guitar which will speak to your inner soul. What a cool guitar.

I got to see a Braz 2 -20 in it's original coffin case, a '34 00-17, D-37K (a killer), a '46 D-18, and a stone gorgeous M-38.

The 38 was on eBay recently, very minty, and the BIN buyer backed out for some reason, but they missed a great example of the M-38.

Mike does his eBays under the "telesandtubes" moniker, and he showed me a restoration he was doing on a very old Tele that had been through a fire...he does amazing work.
