Members LiveMusic Posted April 30, 2009 Members Share Posted April 30, 2009 My "new" Martin D35. Now I know what bearclaw is. I'm not sure about the tortoise pickguard, might change it to black. http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/n...t=DSCN0498.jpg http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/n...t=DSCN0499.jpg http://s303.photobucket.com/albums/n...t=DSCN0500.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members panfloj2 Posted May 3, 2009 Members Share Posted May 3, 2009 The one on the left is a Martin D18 with serial number 461877 (puts it in 1986). My grandfather bought this for himself (no one knows how since they were poorer than dirt). When he died in 94, it came to me as the only grandkid even remotely interested in guitars. It sat under my bed for 14 years until I suddenly became obsessed last March. The one on the right is a Custom from J.W. Gallagher and Sons serial number 3416. Bought it 3 months ago. It is almost exactly the same size as a Martin 000-16 but sounds completely different. All solid wood, red spruce top, flamed mahogony back and sides, ebony fret board,... Saved for a couple years and this January, Xmas gifts got me over the top. Play for a couple hours a day now. I play the Gallagher a bit more often but switch a lot between them.

That said, Dream Guitars occasionally have a used one in stock. They do go rather quickly though. Around 50 % of Stefan's are Stateside, so there are some out there.

Members larry50 Posted May 6, 2009 Members Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'll have to look. That green flash in the Brazilian is awesome looking. The guitar seems to be a fingerpicker, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JohnMarr Posted June 17, 2009 Members Share Posted June 17, 2009 Our cedar top - Akoumé B/S Tofno by MacKenzie & Marr. It plays beautifully and sounds like nothing you've ever heard. http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...id=88291658890 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoloArtist Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Here is a photo of me and my friend performing at a folk festival. This is my Martin D-18 in Sustainable Cherry which is an alternative to the vanishing exotic woods used in making guitars. It has a beautiful sound, very balanced and truly a Martin in every respect. I also own a Martin D-16GT with a pick up which I use mostly in the studio. Check out the FREE Martin and Fender Guitar Clinics as well as FREE Gear Give-Aways going on this summer by stopping by Eclectic Sound linked below my signature.
