GMC Forum _ CHILL OUT _ Retail Therapy

Posted by: rokchik Mar 10 2012, 02:45 AM

Hey GMC,

The last few weeks have been pretty bad for me... Lots of stuff happening at work, my computer has been on the fritz, one of my doggies has been really sick and to top things off I messed my ankle up pretty bad last Saturday and have been on crutches ever since So to say the least I haven't been in the best of moods.

So today... pretty much on impulse (although I played it a couple weeks ago)... I called up the guitar dealer I usually buy from and bought myself a shiny new Martin D28.

That is how I deal with weeks of blah!! Retail Therapy at it's best... I'm a happy little girl now

PS: FYI... my doggie is doing OK now and the ankle is still pretty sore but healing. My computer for the most part is fixed but still a few bugs to work out

That would cheer me up! Natural or Sunburst?

Heheh that is a proper recovery!

Congratulations on getting a new guitar, how does it sound?

Hope your ankle gets well in no time.

Retail therapy is great for times like those !!

Thanks guys

Blister it's Natural. I love how its just nice and simple with no need for bells and whistles. As for how it sounds, it is amazing!! My current acoustic which is a Garrison G20 is great but I always found it very bright. The Martin has that great bass I always wanted my acoustic to sound like. I am so happy with it... I even learned some country songs LOL!!
