Very fruitful trip to Dave's yesterday--I'm apparently not happy if I'm not churning the guitar collection once or twice a year. Martin OMC-35E on the left, with Fishman hoo-ha pickup system, great deal on a superseded model (the new one will have "vintage" cosmetics) plays great and sounds huge amplified. Gretsch White Falcon Player's Edition on the right. The Falcon surprised me--I played the '59 RI, which I thought I'd like better (mostly for the TV Jones pickups), but the player's model had more output, a much fatter sound, no "mud" circuit, better sustain, and stayed in tune a lot better. I played a Reverend Horton Heat model, too, and while I liked the cosmetics a lot, it went out of tune just sitting on the stand, and didn't sound near as big and bold.

Thanks, guys. I'm hoping that little Martin will fit the bill for these acoustic gigs we've been doing. I've been looking for something that sounds great--like an actual acoustic--plays super easy and gives me more or less unimpeded access to the 15th/16th frets. This guy seems to cover the bases--we've got band practice on Monday and a gig next Friday, so we'll see! The Falcon is just flat out fun--sounds terrific clean and really gets nasty with a bit of distortion.

Both are very nice. And since now I'm in my acoustic phase of life...that Martin looks really nice.

WOW...that's a lotta money! Both are very nice. And since now I'm in my acoustic phase of life...that Martin looks really nice. All done in trade--I was in thinning-the-herd mode, I guess. You'd like that little Martin--plays great, and acoustically it sounds pretty big for an OM. The pickup system's crazy good. Crisp and very natural sounding, with plenty of bottom end. I wasn't expecting anything quite so fancy. Plus, it was a great deal--it's a 2017 model that's being replaced by an "upgraded" version, so it was super cheap as new Martins go. Perfect for these acoustic shows we've got lined up--three of 'em in the next three months.

Yeah, if you've got an pickup in the acoustic, no need for a dread or jumbo. A Martin OM is about the only thing left on my wish list. But I've got a Larrivee OM..and that will do for now.

Sweet, Jon. I bet that the Falcon is really lively when you put some gain on it...I haven't ever allowed myself to play one (yet).
