Yes, that McPherson was a sweetheart but I couldn't keep it in good conscience, so I sold it. It was made by a Fundamentalist Christian luthier who routinely presents guitars to "Christian" bands. I replaced it with a Martin "D 28 authentic 1931" which rivals it in tone but doesn't play as well. Doesn't it sound sweet?

@fishline79 very sweet, and I can tell how smooth the action was, that Martin sounds like it's beautiful though.

@OnTheInside I just bought the Martin from a luthier who does work for me. He used to work for Martin and conceived the "GE" series. The problem is that, being a replica of the first Dreadnought Martin produced (formerly a Ditson), Martin wanted to make them as authentic as possible, eg. Madagascar Rosewood in place of Brazillian (although they did make some of Braz. if you wanted to spend about $18,000!).Anyway, in their zeal they used a truss rod made of Ebony! Well, as might be expected, it is pulling up a bit. Of course it's a 12 fret, which I like with 1 3/4 " neck width but that is OK. So I guess I'll have to take it back for some adjustment but since I didn't buy it new I'm afraid of what it will involve. I live in central PA by the way.

Funny your using "wordsmith". I call myself a "Songwright".

@TheInterlooper It's a reflected image!

@fishline79 when @TheInterloper caught that, I was thinking 'Good Catch', I then realized the image was mirrored, but still, very perceptive. I'd just been thinking that it was a really nice guitar .

@TheInterlooper, damn not very perceptive me. Missed an O
