Default Bought a Martin

As many know, I’m a Taylor guy.
I love my 114e, but my GS Mini wasn’t getting it done.
Well, long story short, it’s been replaced with a Martin 000x1ae.
Just got done playing it. Nice guitar.

Welcome to the club! My first Martin was an HD-28V.

My favorite note for note guitar.

There's really nothing else like them

I really like my mini but when I pick up my 0015 it’s a whole new ballgame. Enjoy.

Congrats. Everyone should own a Martin at some point.

Welcome to the club! Considering what you've been thru over the last year or so, you deserve a nice treat.

It took me 50 years to come around to a Martin. I bought my 2nd one 4 months later.

Congrats! As others here have said it's like eating "one" potato chip. Probably ain't gonna happen! Enjoy your new Martin!

I'm in my 70s and I STILL have never owned a Martin ... not for lack of desire but for lack of money.

And sadly it still looks that way ... unless I can find a heck of a deal or I decide to get a Junior or maybe one of those HPL models but I really would like a full-sized dread with all-solid woods.

Just got done playing it. Nice guitar.
Bought myself a 000X1ae last year. I've been a dread and jumbo guy forever, and I've got guitars that cost ten times as much but I don't get any more enjoyment from them than I do from that little X series Martin. It's a great guitar!

Congrats and enjoy!!!
