...the one and only

Saw this pop up at a local shop and felt like I had to share it somewhere. No idea how reddit feels about double neck acoustics but this things weird enough I’d love to own one someday.

Borrowed from a friend for a while. Great guitar.

This thing is guitar porn on all sides. Ridiculous.

The most prized of all my guitars……!

03 model. Sounds absolutely massive and is practically weightless. Lifer for sure!

Love this thing. It’s a 2003 and sounds amazing. Lightest acoustic I’ve ever held too! Lucky to own it!

State of the collection.

Collings D1, Iris DF, and Martin HD28. Can’t wait to see the songs that come out of each.

This is my very first Martin. I know it's not one of the best models or the most expensive, but I thought it was an awesome choice for under a thousand dollars. Got it for $799.00 and was able to afford a Gator ABS hardshell case with it. The guitar was a gift from someone at my church. I play guitar for the church group and was having to borrow someone's guitar. My Pastor calls me up one day and tells me that an anonymous person wishes to buy me a new guitar of my choice with a case, and to keep it under a thousand dollars. So I went on Sweetwater.com and chose this Martin DX Johnny Cash Signature guitar. At the price I was able to even afford to get a nice Gator ABS hardshell case with it. I know a lot of people don't like this guitar because it's made of composit material. But the sound is way better than I thought it would be. I reada lot of reviews and watched plenty of videos of people playing this model. I just wanted to share my happiness with the Reddit community. I am starting my life over fresh. I just got out of prison 3 months ago and am living in a transitional home. I have no friends or family out here in Washington DC (I'm from Texas originally). Since I got i. Trouble in DC, my parole is here and I couldn't get it transferred to Texas because I don't have a permanent address there. So I'm forced to live here in Washington DC until I complete my parole. So I've started over completely. I wanted to share this little act of kindness with others. I don't even have a steady home and I start work in a couple of weeks after I finish this job readiness course I'm taking. But Im now the proud owner of my first Martin acoustic guitar, and it was a complete stranger who bought it for me. I still have no clue as to who bought it for me. But it is beautiful and plays like a dream. Life certainly has a way of surprising you with the most unlikely surprises. This may not be the "best" Martin guitar. But it is mine and I plan to hold on to it forever. It's not just a guitar. It's also a symbol of the kindness of others. It allows me to remember that in a city where I don't know anyone, I'm still not completely alone. Have a great day.

Got to pick out the woods for this one— rearward shifted bracing gives it a unique tone too. Very happy with how it turned out.

Found this beauty hiding in a little corner in the at a local Guitar Center while checking out some Taylors and Gibsons. Had to bring her home with me.

Got this in earlier this week. Quite possibly the nicest guitar I’ll ever own. Absolutely beautiful in person and sounds even better. Incredibly lucky to be able to own one of these.

Let go an R9, got some cash plus this beaut (IMO). First acoustic guitar in ages..

My photography has to improve…

What have you guys been playing the most recently? I’ve been really focusing on playing and singing with that Martin and I’ve been having trouble putting that Strat down since I got it a few months ago!
