A few weeks ago on a Friday night my friend Andrew and I went into Hoffman’s Music as we were hanging out, we walked around a while looked at some different things, and then I randomly picked up a few acoustics and tried them out. The third of fourth one I tried was the Martin 000CX1RGTE. After playing it for a few seconds I fell in love! It was the most amazing sound I had heard in a long time, and beautifully made too!
So I called my dad and told him and I quote; “I need this guitar!” So we came back the next morning and compared it with a bunch of other guitars and it sounded better than every one, (within the sound I was looking for, obviously this I didn’t compare this with something like a big ol’ Jumbo Gibson.) After doing some price checking on the internet we came back later in the week and bought it. (Yes, I do like to support local companies even though I do have online dealers that I link to for your convenience.) This guitar is kind of rare, it wasn’t on any of the 5 sites I partner with.
I love how unique and clean and crisp (yet not too bright and tinny) this guitar sounds. And the Fishman pickups in it sounds amazing too, it’s really adjustable and clean, plus it has a built in tuner. I love this guitar! So the moral of the story is… wait till you find the perfect acoustic that you love to buy one, and when you find it, get it!!! And I don’t even need to ask the question… that silly question I so often ask on this site… I know the answer, and if you read this post you know the answer too.
I’ll put a video and/or recording of it up sometime soon!
