Creativity = 1 part inspiration + 2 parts perspiration with a touch of exasperation. Just don't let this musical constipation hold back the emancipation of your newly found proclamation of much less equalization.


(whatever that means).......Yeah.....play from the heart!

Fiesta red is a favorite color.

I hope you enjoy your new guitar.

Now you need some rattles off a timber rattler to toss in the sound hole.

It looks like it's got the same neck that my Jap Strat does. I bet it plays like a dream Eggster.

My hands are stiffening up and hurt when I make a fist or curl my fingers, so I can hardly play my acoustic anymore. I may have to look in to one of these. I've given up the dream of owning a Martin. I'll never be able to afford the one I want, so I don't want one at all.

Although ... I do have to say, the new Martinez models (as I call them) sound fantastic. Especially the smaller body ones. All their HPL (High Pressure Laminate) body guitars come from Mexico. The full sized HPL Dreadnoughts have way too full a sound, very boomy IMO. The HPL is almost too resonant. But, the smaller body sized ones have the same sound as a full body wood one ... and play like a dream. Before I left Des Moines, I found a guitar shop that had 10 of them ... left handed! I was in heaven. The one that sounded the best, and felt the best, was a small body HPL with some cheap electronics in it. Don't remember the model. It was $599 IIRC? W/case.

They even had a left handed 12-string one there. I pick it up, start playing it, and it was perfectly in tune. Suddenly I hear this 'thud thud thud thud' and 'stumble stumble stumble rumble rumble' come running down the stairs. It was the owner, who amazingly looks like my brother. They could be twins. He says, "Wow! You're the first person to play that and I had to come running down to see who it was." It was still in tune from when they put it on the shelf 4 months ago ... HPL made in Mexico, played like a dream.

I'm so tempted, but I just can't bring myself to buy a Mexican made Martin. I'm not prejudice, but I just can't do it. It's the fact that I dreamed of owning a high end American made guitar that was built a few miles from where I was born for so long, that I was actually distraught when I discovered they were making some of them out of the country now.
