Default Martin custom shop hits home run

Based on the 0-28VS, Adirondack and birdseye maple and some cosmetic upgrades make for a one of a kind beauty. My wife said I should get what I want when I retired, because this would be the last guitar. I'm a lucky guy.





And it smells great, too - kind of like a stack of waffles with maple syrup.

SO, WHY DON"T MY PICTURES SHOW? Thanks, folks - I fixed it.

When you go to your photobucket album, click on the pic you want (it becomes larger) You will see a box on the left that says "share this image". Left click on the "IMG Code" (when you left click you will see it says "copied")

Then you just come to your thread here, right click and paste

When taking pictures off photobucket etc. you want to use the img code which will look something like this (but without the *)

[img]*http://blablablabla[/img]

Just copy and paste into your thread when you write and you're good to go.

Oh, and nice guitar. Love the burst and the satin finish.

Thanks. Actually, it's not satin, it's gloss. It was a cloudy day when the pictures were taken.

It sounds like you have both an incredible guitar and a wonderful wife!

The burst is called 1933 Amberburst. I bought it through My Favorite Guitars. They commision several shop customs with this tone color. But this one was my design from start to finish.
