Members therhythmman Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 I've seen some ads in chrsitian music so I wonder whether they have some kind of affinity... just wondering, really ( don't be rude )
Members riffmeister Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 God's tone? It is just another market.
Members black friday Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 in that both christian's and martin guitars are typically fakes and hacks?
Members egordon99 Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 Not sure what your question is, but I'm Jewish and I play my Martin in Synagogue. It does a mean "Hava Nagilah"

Members kazoou Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 Originally posted by black friday in that both christian's and martin guitars are typically fakes and hacks? Hmm. I'm sorry that you may have run across either or both. What does a hacking, fake Christian look like?

What does a hacking, fake Christian look like? My ex had an affair with a minister, she's married to him now. I think I know what one looks like.
Members egordon99 Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 Ignoring the Christian issue, what kind of guitars do you play? I realize Martins aren't for everybody, but I have to wonder about someone who thinks of a Martin as a "hack" guitar. Of course there are guitars which (IMHO) are better than most Martins such as Santa Cruz, Collings, Goodall, Froggy Bottom (but also mucho more bucks). Still can't go wrong with a D28!EDIT: Oh, I see you play a Cort nothing inherently wrong with that, but have you ever played a Martin? Or did you just want to bash Christians, and figured you'd bash Martins as well? Originally posted by black friday in that both christian's and martin guitars are typically fakes and hacks?
Members guitarcapo Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 It's a cult. Don't drink the Kool-Aid
Members guit30 Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 I live near the Martin Factory and seen their reps at trade shows, I have never heard or read about any of their owners or CEO's being saved. They make a good guiter, but for me I like Taylors better, primarily because of their awesome necks Jim
Members black friday Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 As to what a fake christian hack looks like, i think jasmine tea described how to spot them - the dog collar is a dead give away.
Members GN-Nick Posted March 10, 2005 Members Posted March 10, 2005 **cough-cough*** issues***cough-cough*** I don't think so, but unless they come out with a solid "Ark" top, I don't care either way. I want the model with the .125 cubit neck.
Members JasmineTea Posted March 11, 2005 Members Posted March 11, 2005 TROLL ALERT!! Geez, I just got back from a nice steam-bath and a mexican dinner, and now I gotta scroll through this?

Members Jerry NT Posted March 11, 2005 Members Posted March 11, 2005 This type of thing comes up every once in awhile. I used to hear how Abertson's supermarkets belonged to the Mormon Church. Here's probably the truth, some of the people who work at Martin go to church or a mosque or a temple or a synagogue. It doesn't mean that buying a Martin guitar is giving direct support to any organization. They do have a right to use their income gained from working in whatever manner they choose. If you give me a job (please do somebody) then I will support some organization in which I believe whether you or the company I work for believes in it or not. In fact, that is called freedom of religion. And many organized religions, by the way, invest in stocks, mutual funds, and so forth. It doesn't mean that they control such companies.
Members DavyJonesLocker Posted March 11, 2005 Members Posted March 11, 2005 I'd be willing to bet you'd fined just as many Taylor guitars among (choose any particular group of people with music as a main part of their regular gatherings) as Martins. In a word, WHO CARES?
Members GN-Nick Posted March 12, 2005 Members Posted March 12, 2005 You aren't including the Presbyterians are you?...or the Methodists come to think of it.Baptists, sure, but Lutherans? I don't think so.Well okay, there was that Bach guy, but come on, who else? :D :D
