1975 Martin D-35

This guitar is special not because of tone, action, or any of that business - it's special because it belonged to my Grandfather. I heard it played a million times before I ever even started learning to play. Had to have a lot of work done to it when I first got it, but it was worth the effort - this one is a "keeper"!

2008 Bob Thompson Dreadnought

I picked this up in July 2008 - Honduran Rosewood, Adirondack Spruce, curly maple binding, sounds and plays terrific! Bob is a local West Virginia guitar maker - Robin Kessinger and Robert Shafer both play his guitars now, and spoke very highly of them - so that was good enough for me!
