I am not starting a NGD thread here. It seems those are not popular here like other forums. But I wanted to bring you up-to-date.

I did not get the Martin 000-EC. I was about to order it online from Reverb and take a chance I got a good one. But at the last minute I decided to check out my favorite local store and just glance. He said I just got this in and you have to take a look. He showed me a Martin M-36. You know how we often hear "Buy the guitar that speaks to you!"? Well it spoke to me. I've had it home for a while now and I just love it. It is similar size as a dreadnaught (which I didn't want) but shallower. Very comfortable! And sounds great and so playable. And cheaper!

I am so very fortunate to have two really nice acoustics to work blues on. Which is exactly what I'm going to do!
