Midchuck what kind of Martin guitar to get (33) RE: what kind of Martin guitar to get 11 Jul 13

I have, at present:

1 Collings
1 Huss & Dalton
1 Manuel & Patterson
1 Apollonio (12-string)
2 Guilds (one living in Bozeman, Mt., to make flying less of a hassle)
1 Trinity College
1 "The Loar" (left with Bigchuck for repair long ago, never came back, I assume he still has it.)
1 VoyageAir
1 Eastman
1 Rainsong

The Rainsong gets probably as much play as all the others combined, because the sound is as good as any of the wooden guitars except the first four listed above, and it makes so much more sense to take anywhere out of the house, especially in Vermont winters or summers.

No Martin at this time (although I've had several in the past, my daughter still has my first - a '61 00-18, and my wife has one now.

No Gibson.

I'm happy. Though I got to start selling off some of them if the market ever comes back.

Skarpi, since you live in Iceland, I'd say take a GOOD look at Rainsongs and CAs.

Peter.
