Steve,
Man you are rich!!!
To be able to use guitars like that for firewood....wow!!
Beauty and the Beast indeed, very nice "pairing" my friend, would love to play both of them. I'm with you, plain (standard, GE, Authentic) or all dressed up (40 series) a great Martin is judged by it's voice not it's face.
So how do you like your CS OM-45? I recently tried a round of 13's on my gits because my latest (OM-18A) came with them, and I thought what the heck lets try some, and I really like them on my OM-45 (tuned down 1/2 step).
Great guitars, very nice fireplace....happy picking my friend
