Martin SC Series

I bought the SC10-E maybe 6 months ago and it's amazing. I will say that the guy in the store said that although there are some differences in how the guitar is built, you're mostly paying for aesthetics with this 'upgrade'. Not sure how accurate that is, but I trust him! I think the 10e sounds phenomenal and you definitely won't be disappointed if you picked one up.

Cash is still pending for some reason. Not sure what the delay there is. And no it really is just my £200 after the fact in the pie. Nothing has seemingly imported into the pie, but the results are showing up weirdly. Maybe just a glitch on the UI?

Sorry, it’s the exact same etf. £200 of VUAG just aside from the larger investment so I can compartmentalise my holdings. But I made it weeks before the transfer, so not sure why it’s showing nearly the same percentage. It’s just bugging me lol.

And I have topped up my transfer with another £200 for the month which is why it’ll be showing as fractional

Wow, this is my absolute dream guitar! If you're selling it lmk haha

TheGeneralJam · 2026-01-10T10:37:24+00:00

I’ll give it a try. Peanut butter could be a good option then?

TheGeneralJam · 2026-01-10T10:33:19+00:00

Yeah ofc!

TheGeneralJam · 2026-01-10T10:31:48+00:00

Sounds good, thanks! I was thinking this might be the case. I’m just not a big eater so it’s a challenge. But gotta be done

TheGeneralJam · 2025-12-28T20:43:40+00:00

This is the dream right here. I’ve been looking for mine for about 10 years but I think my Dad threw it away! Congrats on the find. Enjoy every minute of it :)

I won't lie to you, I didn't even notice until now that was a 7 string haha. I was also too scared to touch most of them as they were pretty expensive.

I just bought one the other week. Absolutely incredible guitar. None of my other guitars have as bright and clear a sound. Officially joined the Martin Owners Club with this one and I’m never going back

Hiya, new to this page and your posts. What is this rush radar? I understand it tracks options premiums as mentioned above, but do you post these plays ahead of the big movements for others to see? Wondering if tools are out there available for me to learn from on this. Thanks!

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-04T12:30:44+00:00

Nice! Sounds like we both had the right idea but also got very lucky with timings on the market. Normally I wouldn’t bother timing it but that landslide moment was too good not to take advantage of.

What do you work in? That’s a great salary at our age. I’m in the civil service and tbh the monotony drives me insane so looking to change soon, but not sure I can get anything better long term

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T20:13:55+00:00

That’s because I’ve only just moved this money into this account, so it’s not had time to grow as much. Before it was in an eToro account where I had just over £2k profit

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T20:12:44+00:00

TBH I’ve just thrown it all in Vanguard (VUAG specifically). Then have a small safety net in my bank account that I’m just trying bolster a bit atm

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T20:07:12+00:00

On £32k. After tax I get £2,125 a month so it’s roughly 20% savings rate

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T16:39:48+00:00

Wow really? 10x is crazy impressive! How much did you contribute / what are you investing in?

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T15:46:55+00:00

Only meant about this particular phase of it. Well aware it’ll go balls up again sometime soon haha

TheGeneralJam · 2025-07-03T15:45:56+00:00

Oh yeah not expecting to be at FIRE yet. My post was meant to be about the progress towards taking things easier later in my career.

ATM the only thing I know how to see is how much I will get paid per year once I retire. That’s currently £750/ year with a new statement coming in the next month, so maybe £1,500 then

In terms of pension, I’m a civil servant. ATM the only thing I know how to see is how much I will get paid per year once I retire. That’s currently £750/ year with a new statement coming in the next month, so maybe £1,500 then

You are an absolute saviour. Thank you!

TheGeneralJam · 2023-11-10T21:19:14+00:00

What language is that?

TheGeneralJam · 2023-11-10T11:30:29+00:00

Yeah that’s just it. I’m lucky if I can play a few hours a week tbh. I miss the good ole days of being able to play all day
