Oh, I was actually being a smartass b/c I didn't know what you were asking. Can you speak and read arabic? I'm learning, but it's not going very well. Hopefully taking it in college will help.

I'm going to the University of Oklahoma. Maybe you've heard of it...a ton of Saudis go there because of sponsorship from the Saudi Arab-American Oil Company (Aramco). It's a really good school for Petroleum Engineering (my major)

So far the best acording to reviews are the D15 , the 00015 and the XC1T Ellipse which is my fav. coz it also have elecronics so i dont have to buy a pickup, but it doesnt have any inlays so i dont know if im gonna be comfortable with that, any body tried to play a guitar with no inlays?

as i said man if im gonna be broke then it better be for a martin, it may sound stupid but ireally doubt that a Larrivee will deliver a "Better" sound than any of the Martins a picked.

hahahah

a Larrivee LV-03RE will kick any of those Martin's asses, trust me. or any other Larri for that matter.

you are paying for the guitar, not the name on the headstock.

no fretboard inlays? If it's an acoustic electric, I would bet anything that there are still dots on the side binding, where you can easily see. My guitar doesn't have fretboard inlays, but has side dots. I prefer the clean look, it looks really nice.
