Something big is coming from Martin

[fuman]

I'm not sure it's asymmetrical. It looks like the neck joins the body at the 14th fret.

I've been trying to find one of those sc 13 for awhile. I called GC and they said they had none in their system to send to my local store. So excited to try it in the horizon, its cool to here that people have liked it when they try it! On a side note i got to play a Yamaha A5r for the first time, my first japanese built yamaha, new or classic and that thing, for me, is easily the best guitar value for money of any guitar i've ever played, cheers!

This looks like the "NEW" CFM 324e

I'm with Robin regarding the cutbacks, er, I mean cutaways.




Gosh darn it. Why can't everybody just play the same guitars that my great grandfather did!

And the same music too!

Things just haven't been the same since the Four Moptops showed up on the Ed Whatshisname Show.

And don't get me started about Leo Fender and Les Paul!

Now get off my lawn!!!!!!!!

beautiful!

You’re welcome.

What, no ‘vegan leather’ strap?

Gawd I hope not. That is exactly what I've been dreaming of since I bought my 2011 M-36 ten years ago.

Whatever I'm sure I'll probably want one.

I would hope not, I hope they at least leave the 15 series alone so there's still an stock option for those of us who prefer 1 11/16, the 000-15m is in my sights.

Well, it's not so big;

New finishes and a pickup ''upgrade'' to a Baggs Element. I don't have any experience with the Element but, from what I've read about it, I don't think it's much of an upgrade.

Picture a balloon deflating...

[southbeck]

Yeah that´s a bit weird. I really wouldn´t like to use a Baggs Element by it self. Combined with a mic like with the Anthem is great though but not by it self.

[Cameleye]

Not my cuppa.

Hi sinistral, you've been reading my mail!
That really is just how I feel!
Although I really like modern clip on tuners !! (thanks again)

I have no problem with cutaways in general. But that guitar looks like it has had a stroke - it's all fallen down on one side.

That one made me laugh, the shape doesn't jive with me either.
