I Don't care if this is the right forum or not...it's my boards
JUST ORDERED MY NEW MARTIN GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!
Dreadnought size, built of all solid woods. Rosewood back & sides, solid Sitka spruce top with scalloped braces ("A-frame X" type), white body binding, herringbone rosette, fast "low oval" profile neck (standard 1 11/16" nut width), black micarta fretboard & bridge, pearl dot position markers, chrome enclosed gears, satin finish with high gloss top. Martin #345 wooden case.
Amazing stuff, can't wait....damn thing takes 5 days to get here from Cali though so that sucks. In any event, by next weds, I will have my first Martin!!!!! Peace all, I'm heading up to see Phish tonight in Jersey.....so psyched about that also, just a great day...LATA

j/k man. that's a fuckin' great guitar and I KNOW you're going to love it. Scalloped braced, Rosewood b/s , $910!! that's awesome. Can't wait to hear it! you prolly will be so busy playing that damn thing, that you'll forget all about the site.
have a good one at Phish tonight. and don't get too wasted
Well.....this is my 21st birthday present. I turn 21 on April 17th and my dad gave me $500 for a new guitar. My grandpa's house(the one who passed away last November) just sold and my mom was very sad as it was the house she grew up in. With the money that my mom got on the house...she is giving my brother, sister, and I $500 each to do something with that we choose. She said that it was like my grandpa's last give to us . Well, I wanted a new guitar more than anything so this guitar is basically the last birthday gift to me from my grandpa. I will cherish it forever. Anyway, you will all see and hear it soon...peace

larrivee founded the sitka spruce top

Everybody always asks me how she's doing. Has she really lost her mind? I said "I couldn't tell you, I've lost mine."

Just passing along a thought of mine and not trying to raise a controversy. I donated $30 dollars to this site when you made a cry for finicial help about a month ago or so to fund improvements. Now I cant help but think that the $30 bucks I gave went to your new Martin. Hum. When are the improvements and additions coming? I guess it all evens out in the end.[/quote]

I take back this statement. You have probably put more time and energy into this site than anyone could have and you deserve a new Martin. I am just glad you did not get a Taylor. (cheap shot) lol
