Default The wait......

No, not that one.......

On the Martin Face Crack page someone posted a picture of their new Martin which had been delivered in cold weather...... So they have the box sitting on the kitchen table and are waiting for 24 hours to open it, so it can acclimate slowly.

Won't be a worry with your new X30. I have played my X20 in a hot room after it had been sitting overnight in freezing temperatures. Almost perfectly in tune too. You can pop open the box and start playing as soon as you pry it out of your postman's hands.

I pulled out of Donegal
With an X20 in my grip
Couldn't wait to get home
My wife was going to flip

You bought a guitar?
You bought a BLEEP?
You bought a guitar?
Hope that box is big enough for both of you to sleep....

You know the tune. Add lyrics if you're so inclined. Kramster, we'll try not to wake you....

I am now awake
And this is my take


The Wait


For those who buy the wood ones
This is their fate
Should have gotten the Cf ones
So there would be no wait


Just rhymin"
