Yesterday as I was coming home from work, I'm thinking "why don't I stop by the local G.C. just to see if a lost soul didn't drop a Guild on a trade or something?".
No Guild.
But I was there, so had to look around right? No? Well, too late. I did. And the problem started when my hands went uncontrollably up in the air to grab what I thought was a 000-28 Martin.
I started picking that baby, and then picking my lower jaw back up from the floor!!!
Remember my departed 000-28, sold at time when I didn't want to, but had to? Well that guitar sounded 3 times better! So the big enigma now, was finding out why it was priced so low? ($1499). Come to find out it is not a 000-28 but 000-MMV, which I had never even heard of, but after a quick run down internet lane, appears to be a line of 2 models (A dread and that 000 body style) made exclusively for G.C. / Musican Friends. I seriously cannot say what the difference is with the 28 I once owned, except again that.... it sounds better! and is half the price. The bass and the brilliance of it stayed with me all night long. Same nitro gloss finish over a georgous EIR body and spruce top, the wonderful Martin neck with ebony board etc etc......
Now let me go back to my bank account and some basic maths, because on top of that, today is the last day for their Labor Day sale: another 15% off....
Anyone seeing a triple 0 coming back to Bluesy's home? :shock:
Wheels turning turning turning turning turning......
