Oooh....that was pretty. That guitar had an amazing sound. As a matter of fact, I DID have a Guild before I got my Martin, and I sold the Guild to BUY the Martin! However, it was a cheap guitar, and the Martin sounds WAY better than the Guild did. What can you expect from a guitar bought straight off the hook from Guitar Center? HAHAHA! It’s funny how that came about. A friend of ours that we had been jamming with off and on brought it over one night and let me play it ALL NIGHT. So, by the end of the evening, after he knew I’d fallen in love with it, he looks at me and says “Ya know, Shawna, I was thinking about selling that guitar’. WELL HELL!!! Can you say SOLD!? Still the best git-fiddle I’ve ever owned, I play it almost every day. I have pounded the absolute CRAP out of that thing, and it just gets better with age. You should see the scratches, dents and dings on it, but it always stays in tune, and just the TONE of it is SHAWEET! Just like all the old gun slingers say...you can take my guitar out of my cold, dead fingers, cause I ain’t gonna stop playing till the day I die!
Glad that you found your instrumental soulmate. There’s no replacing that.
