Members kano666 Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Hey, I did it! Bought my first high-end guitar yesterday, a new Martin D-16RGT. Beautiful clear and warm mids and bass, singing top... Thanks to those who commented earlier in response to my questions and just in general. I spent a lot of time in the last couple of weeks lurking on the forum and the opinions and information here were really helpful. It was a long search and I tried Martins, Guilds, Larrivees, Taylors, a couple others too. A Collings CJ on the wall made me drool when I heard the sound but $3000 is just too much for me. And that used Gibson Northern Jumbo played beautifully too. One day...? For now, my Martin and I are settling in fine and spent a Friday morning getting better acquainted. I have a four-day weekend and lots of pickin' to look forward to! Haven't named her yet but that'll come with time. Possibly pics later too (camera was stolen along with my old acoustic, so putting pics up requires borrowing one).
Members ESL94 Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Welcome& Congrats!Nothing like a new guitar to make your day, plus a 4 day weekend!
Members Broadus Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 That's pretty nifty timing--a new guitar at the beginning of a four-day weekend. Bill
Members Freeman Keller Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Very good choice and I think you will enjoy it for many many years. One of the rules is that you have to post pics for the rest of us to share.
Members missedmyexit Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 bah! I don't know what makes me more jealous .. The guitar... or the 4 day weekend... I'm going to go into a corner and cry now
Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Nice I too am a proud new Martin (and Taylor) owner as I just picked up a 000-15. Boy...what sweet guitar. Congrats on your new Martin dread! OGP
Members Glenn F Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Congrats! I played one of those about a month ago. I was not unimpressed!

Members kano666 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Members Posted October 5, 2007 Nice I too am a proud new Martin (and Taylor) owner as I just picked up a 000-15. Boy...what sweet guitar. Congrats on your new Martin dread! OGP Congrats to you too! Bet you're like me and just can't wait to jam! For those jealous of the four-day weekend, one is a day with no classes for me but the Monday is for Canadian Thanksgiving. I've got something great to be thankful for this weekend! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone (even if it's early for you Americans).
Members DonK Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Congrats; it's a great guitar (bought a D-16RGTE about a month ago)!
Members Cripes Posted October 5, 2007 Members Posted October 5, 2007 Congatdroolations. I've been thinking about a dread and that one has been getting some attention lately. Altho, everyday seems to be NGD as I learn more about the fairly new gits I own. Enjoy the honeymoon.
Members Samilyn Posted October 6, 2007 Members Posted October 6, 2007 I am green with envy. Many congrats on the Martin and the long weekend. Enjoy!
