Guess what I did for the first time in about 4.5 years???

No, not that... 
 
I got to play some guitar!  Specifically, one of these:
 

 
A Martin Grand Concert 00CXAE.  Wow, what a wonderful sounding guitar!  My new roommate/landlord has this along with a nice PRS, a Custom Shop Strat, an SG and some other guitars that I haven't had a chance to see yet.  It felt a bit strange after all that time (especially since I rarely play a "real" acoustic guitar, I used to always play one of the Variax equivalents in my custom electric).  I was surprised at how thin the body was (front to back, not side to side) and the neck was thin but very playable too.  I can't wait until I get to play the electrics (especially the PRS since that's the scale I'm used to).  He's got a nice Blackstar amp and cabs along with a small number of stomps, but it should help me get over the fact that I don't have any gear left (well, mostly!).  I think it's time to call my luthier in Ohio and see if my last custom, the "Red Rocker" is ready to be sent my way... 

 
Time for all of you to head over to Beyond My DAW!
