Congrats! Be careful, freespoken, those Martins are infectious!

I've been pretty Martin-centric lately.

Just got an NOS OM-21 Special and an 000-28. Probably will only keep one of them. They compliment my 000-15s with a lot of familiar qualities. I'm going to pare down, first by getting rid of my 14-fret 000-15... The 12-fret 000-15s is particularly nice and will be a keeper....

Congrats. Beauty. Yay! I've been wanting the 000-15 for more than a few years now. Enjoy!

Congrats on the Martin.

If you are ever able to get your hands on one of these, you will never again be the least bit interested in anything as ordinary as a Stratocaster:



The body shape is so smooth and comfortable, that all of the 'Brand F' guitars feel rushed and unfinished by comparison. Add the tone variations available from the controls, and the best tremolo design ever (yes, even better than Bigsby), and the Strat easily fades from memory.

OK. Now that you have a new offset to search for, you must add a Duo Jet to your arsenal.

Tara speaks true. Get thee to a Jettery!

Late to the game, but congrats on your little Martin! I love the lil' 00 and 0-sized flat tops!

Man. Congratulations. That's quite the looker. I've got a few Martins, and I am constantly amazed by how great they are.

+1 on the Martin addiction thing. I thought the 12-step program meant you had to own twelve Martins.

Any of those prewars, RnR? If not, wanna buy a '38 00-18? I see a little space in the corner that it will fit nicely into.
