I Can't Have It...

[3notes]

I want so dearly but no, I can't have it. Period.

What a beautiful Martin this is. The 2nd picture blows me away.

Wow, I like it. .I'm not a huge fan, usually, of their whiskey burst type guitars, but this one, I do like. Also like the back on this one.. smooth looking, you can almost hear the tone this one would put out.. good price too..

Just do it! where there's a will, there's a way.. not to be an enabler or anything

Glad to see I'm not the only one who tortures themselves on Reverb when they know they're not in a place to buy at that exact time.. Heh. At least that's what it appears to be.

Best regards.. cheers

I'm infactuated with that, that thing. That guitar.

YouTube recordings sound fantastic.

Actually, I'm not sure that's such a great price. (Unless my math is way off, which is always a possibility). You might want to consider what one of the forum sponsors could do for you with the price on a new one. I own a 000-17 Black Smoke, which is the same guitar, I believe. It's a lot of fun to play and an, I think, excellent choice at that price point. Good luck.

Offer them $975 and see if they go for it.

This. It's the most frustrating thing in the world when I'm selling and get lowballed, but do I love doing it to everyone else.

What he said. It's amazing what a phone call will do. I priced one from Maury's last week. 'Nuff said.

I've never been overly impressed with Martin's shade tops, and this one is no exception. Once in a while I'll see one that stands out from the rest, but overall they're 2nd tier compared to a few other brands. And I'm a Martin guy.

I felt the same way about shade tops until Martin started doing the Ambertone's. I can't get enough of those!

Same here. I have a D-18 Ambertone that I bought off Craigslist. The only reason I went to see it at all was the gorgeous Ambertone top, but once I got there it was a terrific guitar in every respect, so I ended up buying it.

Here's the photo that the OP was taken with:

It’s a world just FULL of temptation out there, 3notes, and - sad to sad - I ain’t your daddy and can’t shield you from it.

Try to soldier on, regardless....

After a rudimentary check, my pricing off the top of my head was definitely a bit off. I'd definitely try to get them to come down or see what Maury can do.

( and LOL at "I do love doing it to everyone else, though". excellent. )

I had one for a couple of weeks and I agree it looks beautiful.
