Default NGD: Martin 000-18 Golden Era

I was very happy to find out that FedEx delivers on Saturdays for their ground service. My 000-18 Golden Era arrived today from Elderly Instruments. I'm so happy with this purchase. The guitar just sounds and looks amazing. I think I'll be holding onto this guitar for a long long time! Here are the pics:

I'm a dread/jumbo kinda player. A Martin 000-18GE is one of only two guitars smaller than a dread that I have ever played that I really liked. If yours sounds like the one I played a few years ago it's a winner for sure. Congrats and enjoy!

Thanks everyone! It certainly is a little bit of an adjustment in terms of the string spacing compared to my OMCPA4 but it's actually pretty comfortable for me since I have fat fingers.
