I can't post pictures yet but I just ordered a couple Martin guitar straps for my dread jrs. I have. One is a tan strap and the other is a denim blue. Sort of goes with the whole Americana vibe IMO.

Saddles and strings
For my '98 Martin D1, just got a bone compensated saddle from MacNichol. Except for the height, it was drop-in. It helps in two ways over the Tusq that was there. First, the harder material allows more compensation, so intonation is better. Second, it has a 16" radius, instead of the 12" that I think the Tusq is.

I got some Tusq bridge pins for my Martin, and fitted them at the same time as my Newtone Doublewound strings (11-50).
I also bought some other Newtone strings, but they're for future use.

I bought my new Recording King RD 318 a vacation and complete spa treatment at the Luthier’s shop. While there my R.C. will have the action adjusted and the relief set to my preferences and to the Monel medium light strings that I have been wanting to try out. It also may have a slight fret buzz on the B string at around the 4th or 5th frets. I am not certain that it is even there or if it is my fretting technique or my imagination. Lastly (I think) I’ll have them fit the new Ebony bridge pins to the bridge so that they all sit at a he same level. In any respect, I’ll have my guitar EXACTLY like I want it to be for the first time. It seems that in the 10 or 11 months that I have been playing, that I have developed preferences. I guess that we’ll see how long these initial preferences last.

My last guitar related purchase was over a year ago - a few sets of strings (Nano 12-56) and a G7.

Crosses slightly over into electric land but just ordered a Yamaha THR10ii. Figured I'd use it as a bluetooth backing track player to play acoustic over, can plug in electric to play with what seem like some pretty impressive tones, and can use it as an interface as well.

I just received my 3rd cable from Rattlesnake Cable Co.
They are the best cables I have ever used, and they can also make custom cables. I have K&K minis with vintage jacks (1/8" jack) on a few guitars, and they made me one with 1/4" on one end for the amp and 1/8" on the ohter for the guitar.
