My New Martin 7-STRING!

**jemaholic** · #1 07-01-2007, 07:23 PM

I ordered this one a few months ago and want to share:

it's a Signature Series- very limited run Roger McGuinn model. (Byrds)
This guitar is special for a couple of reasons: a double G string in octaves and all D-45 appointments. Mine is signed and numbered by both C.F. Martin and Roger M- #220 and one of the last of the run as the new catalog doesn't offer it.

The abalone inlays are really colorful and match very close to each other-

The top uses 'aged' toner ad the 7 strings are awesome!

A true gem of a guitar....I think I'll keep this one awhile ;^)

Ahhh, I wouldnt dare say you have too many. Just thought you already had a McGuinn, nothing wrong with 2 though (or more)

I'll take some pix of both together and post 'em this week for you.

Crikeys!

Does the G really jump out at you?

It awesome. When you strum - its like a 12 string, yet you can play clean bass and lead lines too.

Jeff, that's gorgeous, I had read about them and always wondered how pronounced the 12 string affect was. Damn that abalone pops! Brilliant idea and a gorgeous guitar, congrats.
