Wow!

 

[GGJaguar]

I like bling, but that much bling makes it unplayable for me. It's just for show.

 

[chazmo]

50 years of Chris Martin IV. That's a remarkable stint!

I'm with you on that -- no appeal for me either.

 

[GardMan]

Pretty bearclaw, tho'...

 

[Cougar]

Overblinged!

 

[ReevesRd]

This one has less bling.

That's a remarkable stint!

Yes, it is.

The Bearclaw top is outstanding!

Reminds me of the Gibson Master Museum guitars by Ren Ferguson.

Some of you know I'm a bling lover, but those are WAY over the top. The Martin D100 is even worse.....or better if you're into that much bling. Depends on your perspective I suppose.

I'm a Martin guy, but these each get a triple "feh" from me.
However, If I bought a guitar strictly based on looks, and tastelessly ugly was the look I was after, I get far more bang for my buck by investing in a Gibson "bird" guitar, or their showpiece of tasteless dreck, the circus train animal wagon inspired j-200.

Kinda reminds me of a story I read as a child - Jack and the Bean Stalk - but too much on a guitar for me.

The company has really flourished under his stewardship too. That being said, that is one ugly guitar!

The company has really flourished under his stewardship too.

I thought 38 continuous years in high tech was an accomplishment, but 50 years... Wow.

Wow!

well, someone went and threw-up all over that fretboard.

 

[chazmo]

There are so many pictures of Chris Martin holding these very ornate guitars everywhere. They look good (on him). Well, heck, he deserves it.

 

[Boneman]

Holy Fugly fretboards Batman!
