I was away for only a week from mine. It was lying in its case humidifying and patient at home. While away, I had an opportunity to grab a tuned guitar, a Yamaha. Just to get in a few licks and strums, you see. It was awful, sounding like it was full of popcorn or toilet paper. It was a painful experience, despite the respite with that Yamaha. I am spoiled rotten with that D-42 and that pleases me. Once back in my arms, it has played so sweet! It is as if it plays better every time the light hits the abalone, I'll tell ya. Being away from the passion is difficult for old fools like me. Worth every penny I paid for it! Well, I'm healing now some; although the horror of that Yamaha lingers... Need to go play, Jay

I have been pining horribly for my recently acquired 1987 (H)D-18LE whose bridge was almost completely lifted off of the top when I bought it from the family of its previous (and original) owner. It of course went immediately off to be repaired, and I've been feeling like I've lost my regular player even though I have yet to play anythign on it.

Need to go play, Jay Love that photo. Got any more of that guitar? I have a HD-28V and the only "pearl" Martin that turns me on is the D-42, which to my knowledge has the same guts as a HD-28V. Correct?

It's a painting by Kevin Aita. He is one gifted artist and a jazz guitarist. Here's a more full shot of his painting of the D-42: Also, below is a picture of my guitar (D-42) with his painting hanging on my home-office wall: PS: On the pillow is a favorite quote: "At the sound of my name, fish TREMBLE".

(11/08/09 1:30 AM) Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Hey HD28VGUY: I don't know the age of Kevin Aita's painted D42 guitar, but you can ask Kevin. Just go to his webpage (www.aitastudios.com ) and he'll tell you, I'm sure. You can also see some of his other paintings. Quite a talent! My guitar is a 2008. The aging toner has darkened it considerably since I got it in March of this year. The picture was taken in June, I think. Hope this helps. Jay

The good news is the change for the positive of the D-18, wow did a neck set make a difference. The D-41 and the newly acquired D-37K are all together in the truck. It should be arriving before too long. Maybe even tomorrow or today. -Lee *********** I've been known to play with the following: '71 D-18 (restored): '06 D-18GE : Backpacker : '82 D-41 : '66 D-35 (restored): DSM : D-16GT : '67 00-18C : '44 00-18 : '44 00-17 (restored) : LX-175th : '30s 0 Uke: '20s 2-M Uke (restored): '82 MC-28 : Gibson C-0 Classic : '98 Martin D12-1 : '08 DSM : '80 D-37K : '70 Guild F-112 (restored) : and a '98 Harley-Davidson FLTR Road Glide.
