Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I might be a bit drunk...

I can't buy any new guitars for a while. So, I'm gonna give you one of my secret purchasing sites.

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/133349611_a-martin-acoustic-guitar-with-original-storage-case

That'd be a 2007 000-15M - which is a lower-end (but very good) Martin, if you wanted to get into a Martin at a good price. You can expect to find it retail at 1000 to 1200 - plus any shipping expenses and at player-grade. This one appears to be in excellent condition, which means I'd place an actual retail/insurance value at about 1400 - for replacement/insurance purposes. (You can tell when it was made by the serial number.)

Without inspecting it in person, I can't give it a 'mint' rating. I suspect it is mint, or 'near mint' (an actual grade). So, you'll have to accept an 'excellent' grade, or seek a local appraisal. You've got a 25% auction fee, so $800 is $1000 + shipping. Or, about the most I'd suggest paying.

So, skip this one - but do pay attention to the site in the future (if you ever want to get into a collectible guitar at a good price). And don't tell too many people. LOL It has been my secret for years, but I'm pretty sure I'm done buying guitars for a long, long time.
