I'm very stoked right now--my new Martin guitar just got delivered. (American Music Supply)

I really can't afford it, but I just had to have it. I already have several guitars, but most are in need of something. I also have a 1939 Martin 0017, but it needs work too. It's a low end Martin, a DX1RAE, an acoustic electric. Great action and tone--wow! Yippee!

One can never have too many guitars, and every collection needs a Martin. Scuba Sep 2014 #3

I recently purchased an Epiphone EJ 200 from Zzounds.com ... It's the knockoff version of the Gibson J200 ... I was thrilled with the big booming jumbo sound ...
Enjoy your new axe ...

I have a Gibson ES335 and a Dean, but we lost our drummer. He became a OTR trucker and is only home once a month, and spends a lot of his home time with his lady. So we started doing a lot of acoustic, and added a friend who plays flute and sax. So I needed it!
I don't think Jeannie understands my need to have many guitars. This could be the last time.

Or else I'm just trying to convince myself to buy one. Yeah, that could be it.

one of the shames of my teenage life - I lost a left handed Martin. Belonged to my father, I snuck out the window with it one night and got semi-busted. left it in a small desert cave and somebody snagged it. I would give ANYTHING to have it back.

One of the things I always wanted to do was to learn an instrument. My wife gave me music lessons as a gift earlier this year but I had to wait until I had the spare funds to make the purchase. I just got this Fender last week and start my lessons after my surgery on the 23rd of this month.

Here is my (blurry) mid-life crisis:


I played classical guitar as a teenager, but I've been learning fingerpicking country blues and early rock & roll/rockabilly lately.
