Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, click this link (fngt.gq). That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then you can donate.

I might be a bit drunk...

I can't buy any new guitars for a while. So, I'm gonna give you one of my secret purchasing sites.

https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/133349611_a-martin-acoustic-guitar-with-original-storage-case

That'd be a 2007 000-15M - which is a lower-end (but very good) Martin, if you wanted to get into a Martin at a good price. You can expect to find it retail at 1000 to 1200 - plus any shipping expenses and at player-grade. This one appears to be in excellent condition, which means I'd place an actual retail/insurance value at about 1400 - for replacement/insurance purposes. (You can tell when it was made by the serial number.)

Without inspecting it in person, I can't give it a 'mint' rating. I suspect it is mint, or 'near mint' (an actual grade). So, you'll have to accept an 'excellent' grade, or seek a local appraisal. You've got a 25% auction fee, so $800 is $1000 + shipping. Or, about the most I'd suggest paying.

So, skip this one - but do pay attention to the site in the future (if you ever want to get into a collectible guitar at a good price). And don't tell too many people. LOL It has been my secret for years, but I'm pretty sure I'm done buying guitars for a long, long time.
