The smell of Rosewood
I swear I get a euphoric high every time I take my Martin out of the case! The rosewood smells so good! Anyone else get high from smelling their guitar?

Right now, the smell of my newest (Lowden Wee Walnut/Cedar) is the strongest, but I love them all!

OMG Yes!
A couple months ago I bought this new Martin D-28 Authentic 1937 VTS with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides. I open the case and check that nobody's watching. Then I drop to my knees. I bring my nose close to her soundhole, but not touching, not yet. She smells exotic and foreign, pungent yet sweet, spicy, rich, and seductive. I can hold myself back no longer; I take her into my arms. I begin salivating like at that first taste of ice cream I make from scratch with those expensive real vanilla beans in the glass vials, also from Madagascar. Shamelessly, I bury my nose in the hole and inhale deeply, slowly as my eyeballs involuntarily roll back into my head. Ahhhhh!

I love it too! I do the same thing... open up the case to my Gibson J29 and get a nice feeling from the smell.

I've got a ca. 1875 Bay State parlor: Adi/Braz, cedar neck, French polish...
Still smells heavenly after 140 years...

With my nose almost buried into the hole I inhale slowly and deeply. Ahhhhh! I practically touch myself inappropriately in my NONO special place." ----sounds like my date last night....

I always look forward to opening a case, taking a deep sniff and pulling a guitar out. Each one smells different and wonderful. I've been told that it's not all the woods but each is unique.
