Great Roy! But now you'll have to trade in the D-18 towards a Gibson J-45 to make the universe in equilibrium again....

But of all the guitars I've ever sold, which do I miss most? Yep, the 45 and CEO-7.

I have been trying to live by the same rule. And I felt the same about my D18. My beloved E20D had to leave to make way for an absolute monster J15. And now I have a new favorite.

I'd take the D18 and D28 over both of those anyday. My 814 is leaving to make room for another Martin. |

Rule is gone. Keep in mind though that my self imposed budget for any one guitar is $2,300, tops.

You know, it's not that I don't like it because I really do. It's just not a guitar that I've ever really been all that enthralled with. I've had it about a year and a half and I'm still waffling over selling it, yet I've owned my D18 for all of a month and I've bonded instantly. I've felt this just 3 times over the years, first with my Strat and second with my PRS. Now, it's finally happened with an acoustic and I always wondered if it would ever happen with an acoustic. Having said that, I have two main reasons for wanting to sell my 814. First, I know that I can't make a guitar with factory electronics a long term guitar. I just don't want to buy any more guitars with knobs and wires. Second, I know what a stellar Martin can do to my soul. The 814 is the best Taylor I've ever played, but here I am still waffling over selling it over a year later. The 814 was the hot girl that I thought I could marry and was engaged to, but the D18 is the girl that unexpectedly took my breath away and made me realize what true love is...cheesy, so sorry. |
