Martin D-17 Mahogany

Sometimes, just like with horses, the "Right" guitar finds you.  The Martin D-17 Mahogany happens to be that guitar for me.  I love the way it looks, sounds, feels . . . . It made the journey from Montana to Wyoming just in time for the fair and has been a joy to get to know.  I had it set up with a little lighter action and strings at Music Villa before they shipped it out to me.  It has a warm, softer sound, not very punchy, which I don't need but I think I'll go one gauge heavier on the strings next time I change them to get a little more depth on the high end.  I love it.  I truly do.  I'll post some video of us playing with it later this fall.  I'm excited to hear how it records.
