Err. Faster than I care for. I'm already semi retired.... Been buying guitars recently too 😳

I reckon two more will complete the collection. A baritone, and the very reasonably priced Alvarez is in my sights after playing one recently. The other? Err.. Martin 00 or OM of whatever model. (I was rather taken by a mahogany one at half the price of a 28 last week when I popped up to York to buy an active wedge speaker for my pa. There again, the £200 Sigma equivalent was a bloody good guitar, and not just "for the money."

If I do let my old Jim Harley dreadnought go, then ok, the Martin will more than likely be a HD 28 or 35. But since doing it up and subsequently playing with the action, tusq saddle, heavy pins (that debate again) etc I reckon on its day it is the most balanced guitar I own. The cedar top gives it a quiet mellow sound but a good one. Albert reckoned it sounded nicer than a D 28 I followed at Tickhill the other week 😮
