Thanks for the encouragement, Tony. The D-28 that I purchased is a "special" model without being a custom -- and I think that may be the most attractive option for me.

MRW can be nice -- but it will never have the mystique of BRW. No buyer's remorse yet...

Congrats and enjoy!

Thank you!

I would've loved to be reasonable and buy a standard D-28 -- but not with the bright white binding and shiny gold logo... Sigh... Martin surely knows how to make guitar nerds spend more money...

Congratulations!
Nice guitar with a Volute!

PS Just loved your version of O Danny Boy ( LD air )

Thank you for checking out my YouTube channel. I hope to explore different sounds with my D-28. Possibly with less delay/reverb...

I'm glad I have your approval on this one, Howard -- thanks so much.

Mark has been great to deal with for sure.

Thanks!

My Olson SJs have a diamond shaped volute as well -- so there will be four of them moving forward...

Call me astounded. Never seen you play a dreadnought! Congrats Mau! Quite a nice addition to the already amazing collection.

My most recent addition was from neildealdylan. A 2002 Tippin DST12 (short scale 12-fret) made for Martin Simpson. Awesome guitar! Never thought I would buy another dreadnought but glad I did!

Have fun with yours!

[Outoftime]

Wow! Congratulations! That's a lifetime keeper for sure. And folkway is an awesome place to deal with. They are 15 minutes from me. I have never heard anyone with a negative experience there.

Thanks Dennis!

All of my guitar buddies own dreads and I guess I enjoyed thrashing their guitars so much that I had to get one for myself...

I find dreads attractive -- in an odd way. I wish I could've settled for a cheaper one...

Your DST12 is an even larger guitar -- and it has a sweet headstock!

Thank you!

I rarely think of buying Canadian since most of them have terrible websites with terrible photos.

Folkway is the exception though. At last here's a Canadian dealer who understands online sales!
