Sweet! : It's good to hear good comments on the 1 series. I have wondered about that a lot, the past couple of months I've seen one or two up for sale.
Clips, maybe?
Ok, taking a page from the Strum book.
Or....
But I'm not going to torture you forever, just a little.
For those who care about such things. She's a Martin D12-1, 1999 vintage. I've had her about a week now and she's spectacular. Loud, or maybe I shoud say LOUD!!! With all the shimmery overtones 12's are supposed to have. The 1 series Martins are kind of orphans. They have solid tops and backs (spruce and mahogany in this case) with lam sides.
And here she is with her 6 string sister.

EK, that is one fine guitar. See, you are in the gourmet section, I'm dining at a family diner. When mine arrives I know I will be happy, I am taken by your guitar.
Good thing you didn't string it out, they are a tough crowd and I sense some were PO'd, but screw them.
Anyway, very nice selection.

[QUOTE=just strum]EK, that is one fine guitar. See, you are in the gourmet section, I'm dining at a family diner. QUOTE]
The 1 series are the low end of the martin scale and this thing was way below normal selling price. Call it semi-gourmet at family diner prices.
The D2R, six string sitting beside the 12'er is also part of that series. The first time I played it the shop had a D18 to compare it to. I liked the D2R better. Got lucky with both of them.

Looks like a nice catch! Enjoy...
Very nice! I've been drooling for one of those for a rather long time now but just can't seem to pull the trigger on one.
thats a beautiful guitar dude. I always loved the sound of a 12-er
Gorgeous, EK, and cool that you got it at nice price.
Frankly, I truly doubt if solid sides make an appreciable difference in tone, since they really don't do any vibrating, just reflecting. So both those 1 Series Martins are great deals :
Sweet 12 times over!

A Dozen congrats!

Shiner, What do you have against Taylor?
Hmmm... a 12 string...don't have one of those... and a Martin...good buy...
Now CUT THAT OUT and stop tormenting a poor SOB who's trying to go straight!
Looks Beautiful! Congrats!
