j45nick Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Nice guitar, but the price? Yikes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Now that is rosewood at its best, oustanding tone. None of the traditional Martin rosewood boominess and mudd. Very balanced with what sounds oustanding projection and sustain, highly controlled overtone. Im no Martin expert but apparently the 40 series Martins are meant to have a more balanced, open tone, apparently thats what Neil Young found appealing about those models. Really impressive, except the price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Probably worth the price of the visit to Hawaii, just to play this instrument. That, and of course all the sights, and the girls on the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merseybeat1963 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 What a ridiculous price. There was an Ivory Bridge 0042 Martin made in 1898 in seemingly nice shape on ebay selling for under $20k..Id much more prefer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Great sounding git! sounds like a winner!! But that price is un-realistic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Sounds and looks eminent - those stripes of bling wouldn't bother, , , neither would the alternative 'modern' logo or hexagon inlays. But now that you ask, , , maybe yes. Will return to that later this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrummer Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks for sharing! Great looking and sounding guitar. I bought a 1992 D-41 yesterday. After owning many Martins through the years I think the D-41 is one of their finest. I'm sure that Brazilian RW is heavenly to listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewilyfool Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Didn't sound that good to me....I heard some buzzing on the strumming, and the saddle looks pretty low.......meh I'd probably look for one of these martins below: (and buy a vintage Roy Smeck conversion, A 1934 L-00, and a '50s J-45m for the same money) http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/msg/3083544899.html http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/msg/3025872289.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fan of the Martin 'burst on the other. Anytime the price of a guitar approaches or passes the $10k mark, I start looking at the multiple guitars that money will buy, and say "no thanks".
