*MARTIN SC-13E, 2021, New, It’s time to rethink what an acoustic-electric guitar can do. Do you want to play leads all the way up the neck? Play longer? Play louder? Now you can with this super-comfortable, easy-to-play acoustic-electric from Martin. The all-new SC-13E, with patent-pending Sure Align® neck system, gives you full access to all frets so you can comfortably reach those high notes. It’s also equipped with a new, low-profile velocity neck barrel that ergonomically accommodates your hand as you move up the neck, giving you the comfort and playability of an electric. It was designed from the ground up to be plugged in, and its asymmetrical body shape provides balanced output, giving you more gain before feedback. So the next time you’re on stage with an SC-13E, go ahead, play it loud. But, don’t forget, the SC-13E is still a Martin, so it sounds amazing unplugged. And with the limitations of the conventional cutaway acoustic-electric removed, you can now play your way, any way, without limits, gigbag.....$1499 gbi Just In ****** FRIDAY February 5th, 2021 *******

We often get asked "where do these guitars come from" ??? or "who buys these things" ?? So here's an interesting picture of the quite rare White ES-345 (that we had for sale for about a year) with both it's original ( c. 1964), and current (April'06) owners. -------------------------o------------------------- IF YOU HAVE TROUBLE VIEWING THESE PHOTOS, SEE BELOW Some have complained about bad pictures. If this is happening to you or your PC, let me know. We have Macs and the pictures are large and clear, so we'd like to know figure out why this problem is happening An answer from my brother Rick- By default, Internet Explorer will shrink pictures to fit onto one screen. That's probably what people are complaining about. Usually, if they hold the cursor over the picture for a few seconds, a button will appear and they can click it to restore the pic to full size. I hate the feature, so I just turn it off and always see the photos full-size: From the IE menu bar, click Tools | Internet Options Click the Advanced tab Scroll down to the Multimedia section Remove the check from "Enable Automatic Image Resizing" Click OK to save settings REPAIRS For you who don't know, we do all manner of guitar repair and restoration. We do most of it here but also give some work to Dom Ramos -repairing and building since working in Dan Armstrong's shop in the '60s. We've also been a Martin Warrantee Center since 1985 before Martin closed down all 5 NJ Centers because of a tax dispute between NJ and Martin COMMENTARY- DON'T SCROLL DOWN - Feelings below Political sentiments Turn back before it's too late!
