Dear Dr. Guitar,
I was so impressed that one who posts to the humble Mudcat has actually attained status with Eric Clapton, Peter Rowan, Gene Autry, et. al. by having a Martin Guitar signature model. I went right out and purchased the Martin DR Guitar to add to my collection. Alas, when I got home I realized that the 14th fret did not have your signature inlaid into it as is the case with my other signature modedl Martins. I was wondering if you could possibly post a downloadable template of your signature along with instructions on how best to perform the inlay procedure. As to materials, I was thinking that mother-of-pearl is just too passe for one of your stature. I was thinking of maybe using some of that cool marble-looking plastic stuff that is on my accordian. (Some friends have referred to it as "mother-of-toilet seat). I have plenty of it around as others have a tendency to want to reduce my accordians to splinters.
I also was impressed by your insightful advice regarding the footwear problem of many mudcatters. I went out and purchased a matching set of your C.F, Martin signature guitars, loosened the strings ever-so-slightly, slightly enlarged the sound holes, and man have I caused a stir in the footwear fashion circles of my little town. Everybody loves my new Doc Martins!
Sincerely,
Ben Downsolong.
