At the risk of being a little repetitive and boring, here are two examples of guitars. The first is the Martin composite guitar I described in my last post. The second is my custom made Chisholm guitar (from the UK):

"Piedmont Perpetual Motion" - played on a Martin XC1T

"Simple Solitude" - played on a handmade Chisholm guitar

Two guitars not straight out of the usual box - shown here just to illustrate my point. :-)
