Martin Guitars

Last week I visited the Martin Guitar factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. After dealing with some business with Dick Boak, head of Artist Relations, Paul Sinclair and I did a mini-concert for two busloads of school kids on a field trip. Some of them had been at a Get the Led Out concert and recognized us. They were all eyes and ears when Sinclair and I played an all acoustic version of "Thank You". I don't think they will be forgetting that field trip for a while. The parents were very appreciative too.

So after dealing with some business I took the liberty to play some of the Martin acoustic models I was interested in. All of them were incredible instruments and I ended up deciding on a D28 marquis 6 string acoustic. What a great sounding and looking guitar! I worked out the details with Dick Boak so I could end up owning one. Let me tell you, It was worth it! I am going to have "Get the Led Out" inlaid in mother of pearl on the fingerboard and my signature near the sound hole. Click on some of the links above to see more about Martin acoustic guitars and other gear I use. They are definitely the top brand of acoustic guitars. The sound, look, and playability are second to none!

I am looking forward to the show this week and my upcoming trip to London, England with JR Warner. We have been counting down the days! Keep posted for more current news and information. I'll post again before the next concert, Peace, PH
