Chris asked me to say 'hi', so here I am. I've been subscribed to the digest in total lurk mode for years now, but I guess it's time to momentarily delurk, when our album is finally available. And I have a question to the guitarists on the list..
Probably the last time I posted was a year or so ago, when I was considering buying a new acoustic guitar and was wondering what people thought would be a good buy. I got a lot of good advice then, but in the end just had my old Aria overhauled, and a pick-up fitted. Today I went into Hobgoblin Music in Rathbone Place, London and saw that they had a guitar in there with my name on it (literally - It was a Martin D15). Well I had to pick it up, didn't I? I have fallen in love. A total dream to play. Beautifully stable when I fiddled with a couple of tunings, and putting on the capo didn't pull it out of tune at all. Gorgeous. The question? - They are asking GBP845 for it. Is this a good price? (I saw on Martin Gtrs website they list at $979 in the US). They're holding it for me, but I want to be sure of the price before I go spending money that I don't really have :0( Martin.
