I live near the Martin factory. It's a holy place for us guitar players.

 

[newbroom]

I am willing to trade my 1954 Dunhill 1/2 bent Shellbriar with authentic replacement stem for a Martin guitar.

Love my budget friendly Martin but am always longing for another one when I get the chance to pick up a D28. I'd be happy with D18 if the price was right as well but something about the rosewood back and sides speaks to me. Maybe someday.

I've been playing guitar for 24 years now.
This Martin I've had since new in 2001.

While the following pictures DO Not depict my father's Martin it has brought up many memories. I hope nobody minds a slight hijack of the thread.
These are all from when my late-father was a younger man. He's the dude in glasses.

My late-uncle is on trumpet, so it's a bonus.

Here's my dad and uncle on guitar. Probably singing an Eagles tune.

Here's a little montage when he was on Amchitka Island for Operation Milrose.

I live about a half hour from there I took the tour twice. I love the smell of the place.

 

[donjgiles]

I love the smell of the place.

Smells like creative genius.

I play banjo... what are these?

I hope nobody minds a slight hijack of the thread.

My hope in most things I put out in public, a post, photography, etc is that I evoke a feeling or spur on conversation. I am happy this thread brought back some wonderful memories for you.
