Currently on the "Used Rack":
1998 Gibson SJ-200 Jumbo - Natural w/ Pickup System - OHC outstanding condition (near mint). Big guitar/Bigger Voice

2004 Martin OM28V - 2012. OHC Near Mint condition Sweet Herringbone!

Contact me for more information and pics.

These are pretty nice guitars going for a good price. I priced replacement models and..... when I regained consciousness, I considered them for myself. But the Senior Management said I'd be sleeping outside.

Used Martin on offer. 2005 OM-28V w/ OHC .
This guitar is in near mint condition and though there is little variation among this very desirable model, it may be the best I've played.
This is much less $ than a replacement model.

Well. Somehow, the T-Shirt scam has finally made it around to me. Are they idiots? What human in their right mind would even admit knowing I exist, let alone were a T-Shirt with my name on it?
Facebook...... Why are you not doing anything about this. It is harming you as more and more people become frustrated with your lack of attention. A case could be made that you are promoting this fraud? Any lawyers want to take this on?

David is counted a legitimate treasure in Canadian Acoustic music circles. When I first heard him in the 70s, I was stunned at how any one person could get such music out of a guitar, as well as write great songs, and of course he is orders of magnitude better now. You don't get many chances to hear and see a legendary in intimate surroundings like this. You can reach out and touch him.... Please consider this. Thanks.

*edit*. Please don't touch the David!
