Haha...the X7 brings a smile to your face even in that crappy weather you’re getting!

Are those snowflake inlays I see on the neck?

Obviously this little snow flurry is not much by CanAm standards, but it seems to have practically brought Britain to a standstill.

Well, I’m mostly standing still anyway...

Lol... tough to play wearing gloves, isn't it?

Snow? No. Big ol' NO.

Are you sure that isn't Jerry Reed doing "When you're hot, your hot!"??

At one point I actually had a pair of thin leather gloves with the finger tips cut off, so I could play at late night campfire jams in Alaska. Yup, I really was that crazy back in the day. I would also ride my motorcycle 12K miles in the limited Alaskan summers.

Ask me why I like carbon fiber guitars.....

As a desert dweller, I am appalled at that white stuff. What's cool is that your guitar takes that cold, and it also takes my 115 degree heat. It's a miracle!

True maybe, but let’s face it Evan, I was only posing !
I could have taken my finest Martin out there for the 30 second photo shoot and it would be none the worse for it !

The white stuff is nearly all gone today, slush should be gone by tomorrow.

Drama over. It was just unusual this late in the year for us here, sposed to be spring now.

I only hope the new lambs will “gambol responsibly.”

Jon;

Maybe your Martin would survive a minute or so in an incredible drop of temperature, but maybe not. I've seen a lot of Martins with cracked faces that had been exposed to temperature change. Just to check this out, take your Martin outside, in the snow, from your nice comfortable cave, and let us know how it does.

Nice real nice. Oh that Unc Evy toying with those on the other side of the pond.

Nice idea Evan, maybe a bit of finish crazing would add mojo,
but I haven’t seen either of my Martins for quite a while, been busy with some other new stuff;

I should prolly take a look under the bed, make sure they’re still there.

Prolly hibernating under there hoping for nicer weather

Wow - that's a lot of snow for London, isn't it? Great picture!
