look what this semi-socialist rec'd today!! I now own a MARTIN GUITAR!

[bertha katzenengel]

I am thrilled beyond words and I think this may rejuvenate my music "career." Got it on eBay for half retail -- and it's brand new!



Yep, it's the Backpacker. It is not the largest guitar I've ever owned, but what's size got to do with it? The neck & fretboard are full size.

And it is definitely the most beautiful guitar I've ever owned.

:bounce:

1. Hmmm...it looks not unlike a balalaika, "comrade".

Why do you hate America?

[bertha katzenengel]

5. Why?

When even the finest instruments in the world are overpriced, you ask why?

Heh. At least we're free to purchase these things, no, comrade? ;)

11. Come and keep your comrade warmmmmmmm

I'm back in the USSR.......

2. I've had my eye on that guitar for years

I have a bottom of the line Martin (I think it was about $550) and love it to death. It sounds much better than my other guitars that cost more.

7. Not surprised. This one is two feet long from tip to toe, the body is

maybe three inches wide - maybe - and it sounds scads better than my full-size "Vantage" dreadnought.

3. Sweet!

4. Yay!! Bless your heart!!

Mon congrats sweetie! It will change your life, I promise. I'm the proud mother of a D-28. It's my most prized treasure. I love it more than life itself. :applause:

[bertha katzenengel]

6. NO!

A D-28? Dayum. If envy is a sin, I'm going straight to hell.

I want the Jim Croce model. IF I can ever afford it, I'll have to hunt for it because they're not making them anymore.

Greed is another sin, isn't it? Want, want, want. Sigh.

8. Well, it took me a year to pay for...

I'd love to have an HD-28, but if bullfrogs had wings...

alls I'm saying is...my Martin...from my cold, dead hands.

From my cold, dead hands.:smoke:

9. Cool

What are you going to play for us now?

[bertha katzenengel]

12. Blackbird.

It's slightly less ubiquitous than Stairway. :hi:

[enigmatic]

10. Martin Guitars are THE best

That's my holy grail of guitars; I always wanted to play one of thos Backpacker guitars....

13. eBay's the place, man...

Completely painless transaction, too.
