Default NGD - Martin SC-13E Special

Went in to see if they had any of the new SC-18's. Nope, but they did have a GPCE Inception. Didn't try it. Should have but a lot of $$$. Ended up monkeying around with a couple SC-13's. No one in the store so it was quiet. Those SC-13's are really nice to play. Eventually I plugged the Special into a Fishman Artist like I have at home. OK, wow. Sounded great. LR Bagg Element. Worth a couple hundred more, IMHO. It's going to replace my Taylor 314CE for gigging. I'm all Martin now, at least on acoustic.

Congratulation--Enjoy! I've been getting a hankering to try one of Martin's SC models.

You picked a winner. Great guitar. Especially at the price point.
