Members kwakatak 819 Posted December 27, 2020 Members Share Posted December 27, 2020 Congratulations! How long did you whisper about it in her ear while she was sleeping? I feel like I need to be doing that! 😉 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Martin is doing some of the best work they ever have done. PLEKed by elves too. If you don't like the string that came on it, let them season. I did a 00028 this year. The guitar is to die for. My wife never buys me music stuff. I tell her my next wife will. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hear some have had success with this method 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No worries ,that stand was only for the pic. It stays in it's case if it isn't in my hands. We toured the factory in 2019 ,she no doubt saw me drooling.

I like the sound of them, but they are like dance with a chubby girl imo. Not a bad thing, I'm just saying. Oh looking 2021 is less than a week way. I actually will wait till spring. Enjoy. Martin's and Gibson's are some of my fav acoustics, along with a few other brands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I loved the sound of it and always wanted one.,just wouldn’t spend the money for myself . I have all the acoustics I need now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moderators daddymack 3,521 Posted December 28, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 28, 2020 Does your wife have a sister? Asking for a friend.... like you, I'm not likely to plunk down the $$$ myself, but if someone else did, well...😍 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
