Martin Makes Its 2 Millionth Guitar

[ProfessorGAC]

Way over the top. Meant only for display at the factory. They have a consumer model for a mere $150k. I'll probably need 2!

Here's their link.

1. Once upon a time I had a D-28.

Didn't do enough with it, ended up selling it. Still kicking myself, 40 years later.

3. I've Got A More Modern Version of the D-28

It's the one with the cutaway and the built in piezo mike and preamp.

Plays like a dream. Played 4 Martin and 3 Taylor guitars that day. I thought this one sounded best and it was easy to play.

Then, i asked the guitar department manager to play all of them a bit while i sat around 10 feet away. Not only did the one i bought sound better on my lap, it had the richest tone from in front of the guitar.

Then he said "Wow, this one is easy to play!" Decision made!

4. That was wise of you, to play a number of instruments.

Never can tell which one might be a good "fit."

My old musical friends seem to be split as to favorite acoustics: some are Martin traditionalists, but others are now using Santa Cruz and Taylors. They all sound good to me.

2. Great to see quality craftsmen at work...
