I just bought a new guitar, a Martin OM28V.
It's the orchestra model, and like the D-28, has herringbone inlay around the top and mother of pearl fret inlays. What a beauty! It's a V series, meaning it's made in the prewar style, with scalloped braces, a V neck, and aging toner on the front, covered with high gloss finish. It is out of this world to play. I've been playing all afternoon and evening, only stopping long enough to grab a bite to eat and check the discussion boards.
I'm going to use the new guitar in my upcoming concerts. The D-15 still has the big crack in it, but will be repaired soon. In spite of having a new guitar to play with, I still have a big soft spot in my heart for the old D-15. A lot of memories associated with it, and I just can't give up on it. Besides, it's the best smelling guitar ever made. Just ask Char... she'll agree.
So, I have a new toy to play with. My savings account is looking pretty sparse at the moment, but what the heck? What good is money if it's only going to sit in a bank account and get all moldy? Right?
