or for anyone ?

I wish but no.Want an L03 or a Guild China Jumbo.
You see what I mean, post like this gives you GAS and how. BUT I know I am over buying guitars right now, I have 3 Martins waiting to be sold before I decide. :whistling:
Nah, not this year. If I had more energy to sell, I would get rid of two Pono's before I buy again. But if money turns around, I'd love to upgrade my kid's guitar next year.
Christmas guitar came to me early when I found the D09 Brazilian Flying Eagle. :nana_guitar

Good idea
Once funds accumulate, I'm hoping to find a nice L-03/05.

...........maybe not a new guitar but a new pick up for the guitar. :nanadance
Yes, purchased my new LR Baggs M-80 from the State, that is my Chrissy present to myself. Sweet
Sadly, since retiring and unless I win a lottery, I've probably bought the last guitar I'll ever buy. Happily, I can go into the spare bedroom where the guitars are stored and ....
.... EVERY DAY IS CHRISTMAS! :cheers
Not this year. First one in a while that I haven't really wanted anything. I just want more time to play the ones I got.
I'm planning on cruising some of the local big box guitar shops during the holidays in hopes of scoring a Tele at a good price.

Look into a custom made Logan,cheaper and better made than a lot of fenders
At usually under a grand new or used even better,quality guitar
Check it out

My newly arrived Martin Johnny Cash DX is my "Christmas guitar" I guess. The upside is that - even though it's not even made out of wood, and it doesn't sound acoustically like a high end Martin, my wife actually thinks it's pretty cool!
She's seldom impressed with my guitar purchases (usually shakes her head or rolls her eyes); but with this Formica Faux Martin, she lights up like a Christmas tree! :rolleye:

Dang it, now you have made me go and look up HPL, and I found this, pretty cool.

My newly acquired D09 Brazilian was an unexpected early present. It will be under the tree, but I have been playing it daily. Truly a spectacular sounding guitar. I strung it up with some Martin SP4200 medium phosphor bronze that I bought on a Guitar Center Black Friday 12 pack special years ago. I have Elixir mediums on my D10 Brazilian, and I have to say I prefer the Martins. In fairness, the Elixirs have been on the D10 for 9 months. They still sound good, but the Martins have little more depth to them. I converted to Elixir simply because they sound good for so long. I know the Martins will lose the clarity on the bass strings pretty quickly.

Thanks for the heads up but I'll be looking for a MIM in all likelihood. My bedroom walls won't know the difference between it and a Cali-made Fender.

WOW what a find, great story. Can't get over how lovely the BW is.
Okay so I lied.........maybe, fingers crossed I will be a owner of a Martin 000C-16SGTNE.
It is a used 000-16 cutaway nylon, fishman Prefix Pro Blend/Sound board pickup, Solid Western Red Cedar top, solid Hog B&S.
Just received an Eastman T184MX. Now to find an amp 😀👍
