Subject: RE: Martin 58. Gibson 2. Holy Cow!
Yep, Paw is right. I watched several prominent players pick a brand new Yamaha (sort of) Dreadnought, over Martins, Guilds, Gurians etc. Ten to one they'd never get caught dead showing up on a gig with one of them though.

I looked at the video again (I AM a nurd after all) and I don't think the Martin copies are Takamartins. Probably hand built thingys. These folks (almost all amateur players) take their guitars seriously. Shit I wished I lived down South. Oh I found two more Gibsons. So the total is now Martin 58, Gibson 4. (all the Gibsons seem to be the J-45 style)
