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...
