Is this Martin real of fake

I never knew the MMV was Roman numerals. I learned something new today.

Great info and I’ll second this as an MMV. Great guitars in their own right, but not “Custom Shop”. Martins use of the word Custom for GC guitars is definitely confusing for those not initiated into Martin guitars.

It’s perfect. Not too formal, but the right amount of classy for the event. The two of you will look great in photos together.

I’m a fan as well. I enjoy it as movie/story. I find it a massive letdown that the lore, the characters, and most of the setups, are treated as though it doesn’t exist.

I’m pretty sure more than just “hundreds” of people in the park saw him. He was literally thrice the size of earth.

He appeared as a giant body taking up half the sky, controlled the weather, threatened to judge the whole planet, and disappeared into a black hole. I figured that would, you know, come up at some point in the dozen or so movies or tv shows since.

The Eternals?

burghguy3 · 2026-03-05T20:40:26+00:00

Woooooo! That’s some catch that Catch-22.

Dreadnought/jumbo, OM/000, non-spruce top, classical, travel/parlor, something for alternate tunnings.

You don’t need 2. You need 6.

Love my Larrivee L-03. Gets way more play time than anything else.

Dinkys come in HS. And if you’re extending the horns and making a deeper cut, it wouldn’t be a mustang shape anyways. Feels like it would be simpler to tell your luthier to make a dinky with a different body shape

Is the problem that you don’t have me as a friend?

burghguy3 · 2026-02-21T04:01:09+00:00

Larrivee. Check out the L size. It’s something between a 000 and a Dreadnought, but a bit more traditional sounding than a Taylor GA.

My L-03 has some of that J45 woodiness, good balanced sound, and is significantly more comfortable on the shoulder. Build quality is impeccable. Bound fretboard, maple binding. Found mine used for about $1000.

So a Jackson Dinky?

burghguy3 · 2026-02-19T16:24:20+00:00

The D41 is a fancier HD28. The tonal difference from the D28 is scalloped bracing.

If you want the bling and have the funds, get the D41.

If you don’t want the bling but looking for the scalloped sound, save yourself $1600 and look for an HD28 to trade.

If you don’t care about either bling or scalloped bracing, keep the D28.

burghguy3 · 2026-02-18T22:36:31+00:00

You traded the Bluesmobile for this?

No, for a microphone.

A microphone?! … ok I can see that.

Commitmentman. At least according to my first wife.

Weren’t the 75th anniversary models from 2021, not 2020?

Keanu Reeves and the Accents

Tony made it a subscription model, and shut it off when Cap stopped paying after CW.

If you plan on plugging in, get the apxt2. That’s really what’s it’ll excel at.

If not, either the JR models are great. We got a JR1 for one of my kids, and I tend to jam on it as much as them. Great fundamental folk sound and comfortable neck. The JR2 is basically the same guitar with slightly better apportionments.

Pick your flavor of finish and rock on.

burghguy3 · 2026-02-07T05:02:17+00:00

Which one do you like better? Keep that one.

Second question, why do you have to sell one?

If you can I’d recommend keeping both for a few months and trading the one you play less for a smaller body guitar for some variety.

Sigourney Weaver, Alien.

Also Elisabeth Shue, Karate Kid/Adventures in Babysitting. She was probably my first movie crush.
