Location: Citizen of the Galaxy | Older, vintage Martins had a long saddle that was carved at the ends to follow the slope of the bridge. This one is too short.
Also, the strings look like the dreaded Elixir's. |

Location: SoCal | Well, let's see. I could sell almost ever guitar I own and buy this one. Of course, then I'd be afraid to take it out of the house for fear of something happening to it...... |

Location: Boise, Idaho | It took me a year to convince myself that I was good enough for the OFC and I couldn't convince myself I deserved Cholloway's slothead. I don't have enough time to do that for this one.
Besides, I've just convinced myself that I "need" a Duotone that I found a great deal on. This would be the other end of the spectrum. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | At this time, to the extent finances permit, I continue to prefer two $5,000 guitars over one $10,000 guitar. Of course, it might not always be like this. A few years ago, I prefered to own five $1,000 guitars over one $5,000 guitar. Don't you just love choices? |

Location: 6 String Ranch | I saw it too. The saddle is probably original but has just been lowered from the bottom rather than the top which is how you have to do these ones. I don't need another Collings braz. I don't need another D18 either but I couldn't pass that one up. |
