gnappi Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Anyone have one? I saw several on Ebay and they look pretty good. They come in some wild colors and also traditional flame maple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyl51 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I bought one when they were first released. In short a very nice instrument. I sold it a few years ago as I just had too many guitars at the time and needed the money for personal issues. I now have it in my mind to afford a Benedetto Martino someday. Just be beware that the Gibson Martino is a very narrow guitar body thickness wise. Also has a bit of a different radius curviture to the fingerboard with no fret marker inlays. Try one out first before buying to be sure that that is the guitar for you. I bought it as I have had a love affair with Pat Martino's playing for years! jim at Tinker AFB Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think they're worth nearly two Gibson Martinos? I (so far) haven't met a Gibson I couldn't live with as a main guitar if I had to. The makers don't bother me, I try not to crane my neck out to see the fretboard anyway :-) I am going to see it this weekend, but just in case I'm bringing money!

jimmyl51 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Did you buy the Martino? Do I believe that one of Bob's guitars is worth twice a Gibson? YES I do! jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnappi Posted January 31, 2013 Author Share Posted January 31, 2013 Did you buy the Martino? Do I believe that one of Bob's guitars is worth twice a Gibson? YES I do! jim Yup I bought it, and as I thought the fret markers is a non-issue. Of all the guitars I have the PM is one of the best I own or have owned. I got it at the Orlando guitar show.
