    Martin D-1 - Need opinions

    I picked up the D-1 earlier this evening. I ended up getting it for $450. I am very happy. Also go a stand and it came with the Martin hardshell case. The sound did not disappoint. I have always dreamed of owning a Martin. And even though it isn't one of their higher end instruments, I...

    Martin D-1 - Need opinions

    The following "history" should clarify the build of the older vs the new D-1. And yes, I have heard that Sapele is a "relative" of Mahogany. ===================================================== Previous Post Next Post Martin D-1 Acoustic Guitar Returns by Dave on April 12th, 2009 The...

    Martin D-1 - Need opinions

    :D I realized your D-1 was older and has the solid wood neck as opposed to the stratabond neck. That is why I was seeking another opinion. My intensions are good. And thanks again for your help. :)

    Martin D-1 - Need opinions

    Thanks. The seller is someone I know and he told me in the 3 months he has had it he has played it three times for a bout 30 minutes each time. Geez...Might as well say it's brand new.

    Martin D-1 - Need opinions

    Hi all. I have an opportunity to buy a three month old Martin D-1 for $500. I know this is a great price, but am not too informed about this particular Martin guitar. I know they started producing this guitar again and a few changes have been made. Instead of laminated sides they are solid...

    I may never buy a used guitar again...

    A true musician or I would say even a novice will not be satisfied with the sound IMHO. That said, My friends would ohh and ahh if I had them hanging on the wall in my music room. Shirts jerseys etc are equally functional even if they are fake. A guitar...no. As the OP said great for display.

    Do you cry just a little bit

    I hate to see a guitar murdered, but I have something I hate even more. When your co-worker, who has zero musical skill gets a Les paul for his birthday along with a Sun amp and never plays it. I think it is far worse for a guitar to live and yet ... not live.

    WW&BW "Steal of The Day" on Fullerton Hardshell guitar case...$19.99

    I think they were cheap because they were for a parlor guitar (which I just learned about). LOL. A parlor guitar, from what I have read is a smaller version of a box guitar, both shorter and thinner. Again, I am by no means an expert on this. :)

    Yes, you are right. Just wish I had done more research. More like all five of them cases. I'm a rather large guy. LOL.

    WW&BW "Steal of The Day" on Fullerton Hardshell guitar case...$19.99

    Sorry everyone. I should have googled parlor guitar. Seems this case will be a bit big for the strat style Fullerton. I guess I can add padding to the bottom? -Scott ok. I have been wrong. The parlor guitar is actually smaller so I tried to cancel my order. We will see. Sorry I ever...

    Im sellin almost all my guitar equipment..

    As a parent of 3 teenagers (19, 18, 17), I will not say anything about your age. I remember, even if it was years ago, that love is a great feeling. :) That said, you should listen to all those on here that, at the sake of NOT getting to buy your gear, told you to not sell it. I came close...

    WW&BW "Steal of The Day" on Fullerton Hardshell guitar case...$19.99

    I called and asked if this case would work with the Fullerton's we all picked up late last year. I was told it is a universal case so I bought five for all my Fullertons. Wife will squawk, but I'll tell her it is better than those cardboard boxes. :) $24.94 for one shipped. I bought five...

    Trying to decide between three Strats, buying in a month

    I have Texas Specials in my strat and surprising to me I can get a pretty good Skynyrd sound out of the guitar. I mean, it isn't dead on, but darn close. The tone is in the fingers and I'm just not THAT good. Sometimes it sucks to have so many choices, doesn't it? :)

    AKG Blowout @ Music123

    I don't know anything about AKG mics and such, but I wanted to pass this along. I have a NADY mic. Is this AKG better? http://www.Music123.com/CustomLists/CustomListDisplay.aspx?lid=608
