    It’s a beautiful instrument, Mary. You had the chance to make it your own before you first played it, and there’s just no way to understate how important the relationship between a performer and their instrument really is. I look forward to hearing more of the music you make together.

  • @leeweber4280

    The relationship with the people who build the instrument is such a privilege. Almost all of the objects we use are mass produced now but the process of working with a luthier is much like it must have been many generations ago. I've had a chance to do it with two different builders and I'm grateful for it.

    • @John-wr6yo

      Martin company told me that ny money would not purchase a custom shop guitar of my choosing. That i had to go through one of their dealers. That i could not buy it direct,or have it made with out going through a martin dealership. I just wonder did clapton,john mayer, all the great successful guitarst go through a dealership. No i dont think so. So i will spend my money with a different custom luthier. I have a 00 28 modern delux that just dosent perform the way it should. It never holds adequate tune to pitch,always 2 or 3 points flat or sharp. The break angle at the saddle almost flat lines . I think some one did a bad set up in the factory,or at sweetwater where i purchased it . A guitar at that price level if properly taken care of should be dependable and hold tune,and be a joy to play instead of a grueling ordeal to go on stage with.

    A Martin with a slotted headstock and 14 frets: YAY! And it sounds seriously great, although much of that is the player.
    Also, the bling comes off way more tastefull than the usual "42" and "45" models: the fingerboard and bridge inlays are perfect and keep the whole effect tasteful.
    How about twisting Martin's arms to make an OM-21 with that headstock and an engleman top? It could be a Mary Spender Model for the rest of us, yet not impinge on the unique space of that instrument. PLEASE!!!!

    Beautiful instrument. Though unable play a guitar (though a childhood flautist and tuba player, my fingers never could never get the finger movements right), I loved going on a factory tour at C.F. Martin as part of a work teambuilding trip in 2018. Watching the builders practicing their craft was amazing. So was meeting Chris in the museum after our tour and hearing those who knew how to play making wonderful music in the demo room.
    I grew up going to the park for family reunions just blocks away from the factory never knowing it was there until well into my 30s (which was many, many years ago).
    Martin is a treasure. I hope you’ll pay the Lehigh’s Valley a visit again to perform (cough, cough, Musikfest).
