for $1000 off at a local guitar establishment. Sigh...I've been playing it for the last 6 months drooling. Adirondak top, RW sides and back...sounds like a freaking cannon. Just can't swing it though...

This is one reason I don't like to commit to long term projects like this...I could have this D-28 in my fat little hands right now...but I probably won't get to use this mic for another 2-3 months. Sigh...Hope it's worth it.

I'd ask if you can put a small deposit on it and have them put it in storage. Maybe $200?
Don't let it go if it's a good guitar. As Martin's go, that's a steal. I'm sure you'll think of something to sell...

As I've come to figure out...just because it's a good deal, it doesn't mean I HAVE to buy it. Took me a while to figure that out. I could definitely put it on layaway...

is it the guitar of your dreams ? if so; grab it if not, another one will come along I hope you feel as I do that the 47 is a long term thing; I sold like 4 grand worth of stuff; just to free up dough and to move on ! I really hope that it feels like my mike and there is always our mike friend Shannon |

Gah, that's nice, and the period detailing is gorgeous. Adding the ADK top, tuners, and herringbone definitely makes it pricey, but that's the kind of guitar you pass down to your grand kids. With the D-35, I want for absolutely nothing in the acoustic department...except for maybe another Martin.

It's a good one for sure, but there are lots of nice guitars out there. My GC pro guy offered me the exact same price months before the sale, so I could always score it if need be. Sigh. If I got this, I'd just want something else |

As I've come to figure out...just because it's a good deal, it doesn't mean I HAVE to buy it. With respect, I disagree. The siren calls. Think of it this way, metaphorically speaking: in an alternate universe, you are young, handsome, and single. She is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen, and you can have her for an insignificant sum in the big scheme of things. Do you walk on by, saying "Meh, it's too expensive and I am a penny-pinching cheapskate!"? NO! DO IT! |

Unfortunately, she's still a little expensive for my current standing in the music industry.  |

Unfortunately, she's still a little expensive for my current standing in the music industry. Understood. I've had to back off on purchases as well, against my better judgement. When you start looking at outboard to feed the console, things get spendy very fast. |
