Default Martin 'Pick Hat' ... is that LeDave modelling?

Just received from an email from Martin with this picture of their new 'Pick Hat' ... but is that AGF member LeDave modelling?

LOL - Dave - Martin is using your Likeness in marketing. Surely there's some cash to be had .

You should do a similar photo, send it to Martin and ask for a free hat.

It is interesting that Doppelgänger Dave shows up in the Martin ad just after Real Dave gets a new Martin guitar. Hmm.....

I used to have a multi-purpose hat like that, a mandolin hat.
gave me a sore neck.

LOL! Come on guys, I don't see much of a resemblance. I'm wearing Fender, he's wearing Martin.

Thanks for my chuckle of the day, Dave. Of course, now I can see the difference....

If you look closely at the Martin cap you can see the binding starting to come off.

But that only shows it's a real Martin hat, not if it's the real Dave wearing it....

OMG, I didn't know this was a common problem. My 2012 D18 has binding coming off in the waist, needs to be glued. Guess I'm not alone.
