I've got a Martin 000-15 Ive had about 10 years. I play fingerstyle Blues on it. It's definately getting better with age and playing. I used it on a Live Radio show in 2001 with Gatemouth Brown,Taj Mahal and Deborah Coleman. Gatemouth even asked to use it on a couple of tunes he was playing by himself. I will always have that memory attached to that Guitar. Martins are my Favorite Acoustic Guitar, with Gibsons coming in second. Anybody out there have any experience with Mosrite Acoustics??? I know Buck Owens played them on Hee Haw.

Thunderhead, if I send you my 0-18, can you get Taj Mahal to play it?

I don't ask for much around here.

My latest guitar is a Martin, a Little Martin LXK2 (Koa lookalike finish). Yeah, it is not one of those great classic Martins, and it is made of composite, but it is a handy little thing.

I tested it in a shop and found it to actually sound very nice, even though it is a small and reasonably priced instrument. Since it's good to have something like that around when you need a "couch guitar" to write songs with, I decided to buy it. I'm happy with it.

This concludes my report from outer space. Now, back to studio!
