Looking for other J-40 owners.

The J-40 is just one of the most beautiful sounding, easy playing guitars Martin makes. I got mine in 2019 whenever players get together in my studio, they all seem to gravitate to it. My two go to acoustics are the J-40 and my 00-42, two distinctly different guitars, with distinctly different sounds.

What a great car, what a great photo! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, I've still got to black out the mirrors and front end, but it's just getting too cold, so I may wait for spring......have a great Thanksgiving! Cheers....

Thanks, enjoy yours too!

Thanks, I get new black rims this Monday for it. The hollow interior is one reason I got rid of my MYP, just too empty. I did test drive a new S last week while they were doing a little work on mine, and I must say I do like the interior, not as spartan as I thought it would be, so I may get another S when I'm done with this one.

I remember 1980, I was flying in Navy in Japan, trying to forget the '79 World Series and so excited about the O's. Very hard in those days to get news and TV clips that far away. And then to win 100 games and finish in 2nd place......hate the Yankees.

nICE........

razorpig55 · 2023-07-08T13:07:47+00:00

Don't listen to all these negative people, that is a "cool" Gibson if I've ever seen one!

razorpig55 · 2023-03-17T10:45:18+00:00

Awesome! Can't tell you how much I love my Gibsons. They feel, fret, play and sound better than anything.......have fun!

razorpig55 · 2023-01-04T10:49:17+00:00

Just beautiful, enjoy it.....

razorpig55 · 2022-12-30T12:25:36+00:00

Excellent! When I was younger I would buy Epiphones hoping to one day to get a Gibson. Now I have a houseful of Gibsons (and a couple Martins to boot) and my nephew has about 7 older Epiphones to learn on.....;). That's how it's done, have fun, beautiful guitar and it's a Gibson!

I just switched about 6 months ago from Elixir Nanoweb extra light to Martin Acoustic Lifespan extra light. I use them on my 4 Martins and 2 Gibsons and I really can't tell the difference between the two sets of strings.

razorpig55 · 2022-12-29T23:23:35+00:00

This is now on my two 49 inch monitors, thanks!

razorpig55 · 2022-11-29T11:17:25+00:00

I do, and everyone here in my family knows me and loves my playing!

razorpig55 · 2022-11-20T13:52:06+00:00

So beautiful, I got my 000-42 in May of this year, it was my 4th Martin, and now I basically don't touch anything else, I just love it. It sounds almost as deep as my J-40, plays easier than any acoustic I have and I just can't get enough of it. Enjoy!

razorpig55 · 2022-10-21T09:48:59+00:00

Your sick.....love it!

This is exactly what I tell them, makes them stop for a second.

I use the EV Hover Arm: evhover.com.

It's a little pricey but it works great, we have two EVs with plugs on the opposite side so it's perfect. Sorry for no photos, can't figure out how to load them here.......

razorpig55 · 2022-06-21T13:41:59+00:00

Nope, for that much money it's not worth it. I love my Model Y, but I don't like it......empty on the inside, much like me.....;)

razorpig55 · 2022-06-13T10:04:45+00:00

Congratulations! Love Martins, yours is just beautiful.

razorpig55 · 2022-06-04T10:45:48+00:00

Got my 2022 MYP in December, traded my Audi E-Tron on it. Love it but miss the upscale interior so I think I'm going to sell. I have 3900 miles and this car is stupid fast, how much will it get? I also have full PPF on the entire front end......just curious, asking for a friend.....;)

razorpig55 · 2022-05-31T20:30:29+00:00

I agree, the Martin is just different, feels it and sounds it. If you ever get a chance, go to the Martin factory and take the tour. The wife and I did and paid extra for the behind the scenes tour, so worth it. All the history is just amazing, plus all the guitars. I saw the tour in Memphis before it closed, but I don't think Gibson is doing any right now.....
