Default A few pics of my Martins

I took the day off of work today. One kid was napping and the other was at lunch with mommy so I decided to take the acoustics out of the case and play for a bit. I really havent had the opportunity to play nearly as much as Id like to recently. I snapped a few nice pics in the sunlight. The OM (custom) Ive only had for a little bit. It may be one of the most beautiful guitars Ive ever had the pleasure of playing. Its freezing outside but the sunlight made for a few nice iPhone shots! The other is my HD-28V. Its a cannon.

Both of those guitars are just beautiful. They are almost too pretty to play. The OM is especially so.
I am sure they sound as pretty as they look.

Buy a beater for those days you might be feeling clumsy Lol. [emoji106]

It is a custom. Interesting specs.

Adirondack top

Cocobolo back and sides with a flamed mahogany wedge.

Flamed mahogany neck.

Sitka scalloped 5/16 GE bracing with Adirondack tone bars.

Full hide glue construction.

Flamed mahogany binding.

A few style 45 features.

Sounds heavenly!
