Thread Name: Has Martin gone mad? (Plastic guitars?)
Subject: RE: Has Martin gone mad?
Hi Phil; hell no, I don't own 50 Martins (I wish!). I've owned seven, but played a lot more. I don't have any at the moment, so you might want to reconsider the request for adoption!
Credentials more than accepted; it's always nice to talk to someone who has good experience, especially when it's different to mine; otherwise, how do we learn anything?
btw I also have a Takamine, it was my gigging guitar for years before I got the Rainsong; it's a very early Japan-made EN20, made in the late 70s, just after the famous lawsuit with Martin, funnily enough. Cost less than a Martin at the time, but wasn't cheap. I played it back-to-back with a D28 and a 000-18 at the time, and it blew them both away. Still does.
Nice to hear from you.
Tim
