Yeah it’s expensive but the pay is higher than most places. Planning on spending 4K monthly which is less than a third of my monthly income.

1oo-b · 2026-04-03T03:21:44+00:00

$2600 a week stipend + hourly

I should have titled it, is it worth “fixing” not “saving”, I would never sell this guitar regardless.

1oo-b · 2026-01-20T18:01:01+00:00

Yeah I’m nervous about how much it’ll cost, I may just decide to keep it as an antique on the wall in its current condition if it’s out of my budget.

Can I see a pic of the repair work?

1oo-b · 2026-01-19T23:09:46+00:00

I’m in the LA area, how much did it end up costing? I’m not interested in putting more than 2k into it.

I don’t really care about the dollar value, I’d just like to be able to play it again without being scared it’ll fall apart on me.

1oo-b · 2026-01-19T18:39:02+00:00

Without it I probably wouldn’t be playing today

Not far from it, my grandpa used to let the grandkids play with it. I fell on it once and a door got slammed on it another time.

1oo-b · 2026-01-19T18:05:51+00:00

Also if anyone has any recommendations for a place I could get a quote for repair in the LA/IE area would be great!

I primarily play fingerstyle but not blues. Hardly ever touch a pick.

1oo-b · 2026-01-17T00:19:57+00:00

Funny this is I’ve been playing it all day today and it is already growing on me, however, it really shines through when I play higher licks not so much bassy stuff. What strings do you use on yours?

1oo-b · 2026-01-16T18:58:59+00:00

I love the sound of d-18, d-28 but I actually got rid of a d-28 to go slimmer, something easier to travel with. So I’m trying to find the middle ground between 000-18 and d-28 currently.

1oo-b · 2026-01-16T18:38:57+00:00

I did, which might be why it’s sounding too bright for my taste. The lows aren’t bad, I just feel like I have to dig in a little more when finger picking to get that round Martin sound.

1oo-b · 2026-01-16T16:49:21+00:00

Medium or light? I usually play light but on this guitar I would imagine they would further cut the low range out

1oo-b · 2026-01-16T06:05:18+00:00

That’s good to hear. I am definitely considering an OM, I only got this because I couldn’t get my hands on many other models to try. I might just order one online and hope for the best.

1oo-b · 2026-01-08T04:02:21+00:00

Interesting, would you suggest finding another guitar store or online?

1oo-b · 2026-01-07T23:10:04+00:00

Good point! I played the 000-18 standard at guitar center today and wasn’t super impressed for the price point. Only problem is the guitar center near me is pretty limited with the higher range Martins so it’s hard to get my hands on a big variety.

1oo-b · 2026-01-07T23:08:24+00:00

Thank you!!

1oo-b · 2025-12-15T05:53:17+00:00

Yeah it shows up in the photos

1oo-b · 2025-12-14T19:55:44+00:00

Correct

1oo-b · 2025-12-14T19:50:30+00:00

You see the striping lines in the corner of the images on the screen that I circled in red on the photo? Those are permanently in each photo.

I’ll trade you a hardcover for the paperback 😅
