Couldn't he afford one with 6 strings ?

He's not known as, "one chord Gord" for nothing : )

Guitar acquisition syndrome. As the owner of 3 Martins, Chris Eccleshall Model A, and numerous other acoustics including home built I fully recognise the symptoms.

Have you ever had a Maton acoustic ?

No but I have tried a few. Never too inspired by them. Maybe I just tried the wrong ones

I've never played one but they seem to have a lovely tone.

I found the opposite- very pretty but sounded quite flat

I would've said that if you could read my mind

3 Martins!?!

You selfish prick - share the wealth............. ;-)

I watched a recent interview with Snowy White.
He acquired his Les Paul Gold top second hand when he was 18 and it's the only guitar he's ever played on stage, even all the years touring with Pink Floyd and Roger Waters. I really like that, 1 guitar.
He said he took it everywhere, it was even under his chair in posh restaurants which Roger insisted on going too.
Hotel rooms it was under his bed.
He just auctioned it as he's given up playing due to an injury to his arm

Brilliant guitarist is Snowy. A good mate of Peter Greens back in the day.

I also appreciate that - bit like Rory Gallagher (yes he did sporadically play some others) but that one Strat was his Strat.

If I had wealth, I would have loads..........

Can you get a tune out of them though? Iv got a few guitars but always end up playing the beaten up cheap one - suits my playing style more. If I ever have to play a gig the nicer ones always feel amazing haha
