This today. Really happy with this one. It sounds good and is so darn comfortable to play.

Been out of work for a bit due to a planned foot surgery. This gave me time to learn some jazz/swing blues etc so I’ve been playing this heavily modded Ibanez AS83 into a tweed amp with a Barb EQ and Source Audio True Spring.
Heavenly…

Sounds like a good philosophy to live by! BTW, that is one beautiful instrument Maguchi. Kind of reminds me of a gorgeous red head I used to date...

Grabbed the D-18 while watching TV last night and worked out the proper changes to Cole Porter's "Night and Day". I don't play the acoustic very often, usually being drawn to one electric or another, but when I'm in the mood for it, this (post 2012) Martin is an incredibly satisfying voice to listen to. And always inspires some new take on any given tune I might like to try on it...

Thanks guys. Just a quick note about the D-18: it really does have one of the best and easiest playing necks I've come across in an acoustic - one of the prime reasons I bought it. If you are primarily an electric player, then the move to the Martin is no great stretch. I get the feeling that the boys at Martin had this in mind when they developed the "performance series" neck profile into the redesign of the D-18. The tones, of course, are pure classic Martin and I consider the guitar the cornerstone of that company's contribution to the guitar world. Easily one of the best bang for the buck acoustics in the world today - if you're in the market...

I keep a guitar close by in my work/music space. Today is it a beat up Tele purchased in pawn shop about 16 years ago. I put Fralin Blues pickup in with a 4-way switch.
I agree. Post 2012, it is a Reimagined eries callEd the Standard series now. I love mine. The 1 3/4” nut with the Modified Low Oval neck carve and Ebony fingerboard is wonderful to play.
My Fender Tele Pro II Deluxe with the Warmoth neck got some love’n on my workbench today followed by some fun playing.
Redheads are great. Both guitars and women.Sounds like a good philosophy to live by! BTW, that is one beautiful instrument Maguchi. Kind of reminds me of a gorgeous red head I used to date...
I rehearsed with a trio for a lo-fi country gig tomorrow night.
The Big O was the tool for the job!

My latest is a custom designed and built Elijah Jewel baritone 12-string made by Michael Kerry in Mineola TX. It’s based on the impossible to find Guild F612. The top is cut from a piece of sinker redwood from a tree that fell in 1883. The back and sides are Koa. The tone is amazing and the sustain goes on forever.

MS,
I think we've discussed this before, but yours reminds me so much of mine.
Glad it's staying put!
Best,
BIB.
