Collectible Guitar C.F. Martin & Co. / Special Edition | Page 11

YOUR FAVORITE MARTINS :

WHAT YOU HAVE , WHAT YOU WANT !

So many guitars , so little time . Fortunately , where guitars are concerned , we ’ re not called to a life of monogamy . If we ’ re lucky ( and can get away with it ), we can maintain a whole bevy of those acoustic beauties . ( One artist told us he can buy any guitar he wants — as long as his wife gets equal compensation in jewelry !)

Indeed , each guitar has its own unique personality , its own aesthetic , its own tonality . But as good as any one guitar might be , we sometimes find that it just can ’ t possibly cover all the bases for us . Perhaps that ’ s why Martin has introduced so many new and varied models over the past several years .
Why so many guitars ? Well , different instruments inspire us in different ways : some guitars simply have more songs in them . A new guitar can also encourage us to be more adventuresome , leading us to explore the “ dusty end ” of the fretboard that suddenly becomes more inviting .
