I've even come up with a song to voice my feelings on this subject.

"One too many Martins" (apologies to R. Zimmerman)

In the bar the session's starting
The guitars come from their case
The guitarists look around them
As each one takes their place
And the headstock decals twinkle
As they players start to tune
For there's one too many Martins
At least a dozen in the room!

From the corner of the bar-room
My thoughts they start to fade
And I cast my mind back many years
When there were fewer Martins made
And my '68 D-18
Was respectably rare
Now there are far too many Martins
At least two for each guitar player

It's a sad and vacant feeling
That can do a chap no good
When everything I'm playing
Some youngster plays it twice as good
And now they've all got Martins
My advantage is no more
And as for one too many Martins
I must plead guilty – I've got four!

Alan
Who owns the aforesaid '68 D-18, a '97 SPD-16, a '98 DM-12 and a '94 000C-16GTE!
