TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I beg my fellow forum members for forgiveness. I have sinned. I have committed the ultimate sacraledge. Those you know me on this forum, know that I recently traded my 93 Les Paul for a 93 C.F. Martin D-16H. It's an extremely light, beat up hog backed, little guitar, with herringbone rosette, and tortoise binding. It has two small cracks (for now, but not for long, Thanks ksdaddy) in both the top and bottom sides of the guitar, from where it had been knocked around by it's previous owner. It's been well traveled, and well played. Dare I say it? I dare. IT MAY JUST SOUND BETTER THAN MY 07 HUMMINGBIRD AND 07 MY C.F. MARTIN HD-28V! There I said it. I feel better now. I hate myself, but I feel better. Let the public shame and humiliation begin. Don't hold back. let me have it. I deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 *GASP* It won't last..... it's just a temporary fling! ;-) Enjoy it while it lasts, LSG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballcorner Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Well, I hope you don't fly off a cliff with that guitar on a Greyhound bus, because that would be a real shame for the other passengers. Always follow your ears, not your conscience. If you are happy with the new guitar, then so be it: Get a membership to the Unofficial Martin Guitar Forums!

macaibhistin Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I guess you have to trust your ears! Gordon Lightfoot, who plays a D-18 and a Gibson 12 string, hears the best of both worlds. So, I guess you should be able to as well. Any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayla Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Gotta get past the concept of sin. It's all about life. And (at least on this forum) guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Maybe I'm just having more fun with it since I don't have to worry scratches an dings with it. It would break my heart if either of the other two got dinged around. This one is definitely a "front/back porch" guitar. I can't get over how light it is.

spanishoaknc Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Forgiven! We all fall out of the boat and get wet every once and a while. Enjoy that music. Have Fun! I got a washburn 12 string but when I go outside and play I got my Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Walker Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hey LiveSoundGuy, now I don't feel so bad:) Just sold my Ebony J45 Reissue and ordered the Martin M21 Steve Earle Signature Model last week. I was plagued with insurmountable guilt and after much wailing and gnashing of the teeth I came to the conclusion that I did the right thing. When I picked up that M21 I fell in love, instantly. Steve Earle definitely knows how to design a guitar. No, didn't buy it because it is signed and designed by Mr. Earle, although I am a big fan and I do consider him to be one of the very best songwriters in America today. And, I would stand on Bob Dylan's coffee table in my cowboy boots and tell him so:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
