SteveFord Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Is this the model with the Flake-O-Matic paint job? No, no such luck, Santa doesn't love me like he used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, no such luck, Santa doesn't love me like he used to. The green one looks a little wonkey on body by the binding and the red one looks a little off by the nut. Is CJ calling Henry for ideas for guitars. Seems like the same old same old. Edited December 29, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I'd replace those white knobs with white dice if I had that Martin. Have you ever seen any of Martin's real electric guitars? Woof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though they looked like something Jerry Garcia would play circa 1974 or so, and stick a wolf sticker on. Edited December 29, 2022 by Sgt.

Whitefang If they did that - then absolutely. Don't get me wrong I would take it if given to me, and then I would sell it for all its worth, and get 4 or 5 nice used ones without electronics on them.

Hey let's F-Up really nice acoustic guitars with c-rap it never needed in the first place. I hope Jim Irsay enjoys it. Both my D-18's were just acoustic. What a loser I am.

We can make some small exceptions, though. When one has a Tobacco Burst LP, a cherry ES, maybe a Vintage burst J45, and a natural Martin D28, you are allowed a blue Strat or LP Special. I could live with that! 😎 Edited December 30, 2022 by OrdinaryNimda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He owns a few in that color. As his friend I don't have the heart to tell him they look like what I see on the back side of my dog as she walks in front of me. I will also will never own a Martin does not have a natty top. Martin has no buisness painting the tops of their guitars. I will give one exception for one guitar and one guy. Johnny Cash's all black D-35. Johnny must play an all black guitar (period). Edited December 30, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
