I haven’t seen a 3 Piece back on anything other than the D-35 before.. Looks beautiful! Do they offer them with Electronics? Bet it will sound fantastic! Yes, but play acoustics, that are acoustic.

Chief, Canada is not yet frozen, and won't be again for a while yet. Probably not until the next Ice Age, so you've still got a bit of time before it happens. Tons of time for someone to alert the appropriate Authorities before you try to sneak across the border on a Dumpling Run. RBSinTo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Shipped the D-15M just a few mins ago and in a few days I will have funds I need to to get an M-36. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I just messaged a guy with an M-36 on Verb. He has make an offer as an option, and I asked what his best price is? Now I need to wait and see. I hope he doesn't comes back with the same price he wants for it, its a good price, but I hate when people have MAO, and then want the same as their starting point. Happened to me a lot. I think MAO defaults to someones sale page unless they de-select it. I always do and then I get "hey will you take this for it". No, I didn't have MAO as an option. So once again - No. Edited September 19, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 21 hours ago, Sgt. Pepper said: I have had 3 guitars for sale for months, and this week I sold two of them. It took a lot longer than I expected. Today I got good old cash for one, didn't have to ship it, and tomorrow I am shipping the second one, and the funds will be in my account a day or two after I ship it. Now time to start the quest for a used M-36. If you have never played one, they are incredible. It's Martin's J size body, now called M. They used to call 0000, and it is not deep like a dread, but slimmer like a 000, and it has a 3 piece back like a D-35. It started life as, don't quote me because I don't remember the exact numbers and letters, Martin F-8 or maybe F-9? An archtop type of guitar. David Bromberg had someone in the Village? maybe up in NYC take off the top and put an acoustic type spruce top on that rim and back. That became the M-38 which then became the M-36 as well. About the time KsDaddy's dad bought his M-38 I was up in NYC looking at a 38 and a 36 in a glass case, and I told my new young wife that "someday I'd have one of them" meaning the 36. It's a great guitar that I almost sold earlier this year. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last one was new and was $3199, at the time, and now like you posted they are $3499. The one in VA had a p/u in it, and I knew I could find a used one without a p/u for less. Nothing like a 3 piece back. Edited September 20, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.

Huh? Then take down MAO, bozo. You have MAO as an option, and I don't want to go back and forth 9 times till you agree to knock off $75. Or remove your guitar from Verb.

gearbasher Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 On 9/17/2022 at 2:49 PM, MissouriPicker said: Our police department recommends that if you’re buying off of Craig’s List or some other similar site, that you don’t go to their house or have them come to yours. They said if at all possible, meet them in the police department parking lot where there are numerous cameras. There have always been thieves, but today is a very different world. I'm late to this party, but I have a good guitar selling story. Years ago, a friend of mine was selling a pre-production PRS. He found a brick and mortar shop up in Mass. that was interested. These guys were willing to pay cash and drive down to Brooklyn to pick it up. I forgot what he sold it for, but at the time, it was a boatload. He doesn't want them to go to his house. He has them come to mine. So, there's my friend, my brother (a police officer) and me. It felt like a TV show drug deal. These two guys come in and check out the guitar. Once they were satisfied, one guy tells the other to go out and get the cash. He goes out and comes back with a backpack filled with money. The money is counted and the deal was done. After that, we sat around and had a good laugh. We were afraid of a set-up and so were they. They told us they wary of coming to Brooklyn, because they didn't even know there were good neighborhoods here. They said the only things the knew about Brooklyn was what they've seen on the news.
