Marty, our kids can compare notes. Mine can't believe I'm practicing during soccer practice, or worse playing my CD's instead of "good" radio. I bought a Martin today,too OOOC-15E. But the Taylor Jewel was hard to put down. It was the "darker","smokier" sound that Midchuck discussed in another guitar thread that finally did it. It seems to go with my vocals. But the Jewel really fit it's name.
Then my unsuspecting husband said,"Not right now, but no one said you could only ever get one." Let's not tell him about this thread okay? But maybe if I start painting these old walls myself I could rebudget... hmmmmm
Seriously,first I have to finish getting aquainted with this new baby. After the years of dedicated service the Hondo Barcelona gave to all kinds of kids, handicapped classrooms and troops of Scouts. This new Martin is unbelievable. Scales are great fun. I just want to keep hearing it.
