So, y'all know I love the PLUNK PLUNK of mahogany standards.
I've had my eye on a couple of Martins, and even a Gibson Uke 1. All lovely. All "spendy", as we say in Portland.
Times being what they are, I'm not quite ready to go $1200 for a nice Martin, so I was prepared to wait. Perhaps a few years.
But then...
(Cue the lush strings)
I saw her. In the case. She looked like a Martin. Wasn't, but looked like one. Certainly vintage. Probably pre-WW2.
But what did she sound like?
Divine.
Plunk. Sweet warmth. Sustain. Played next to the Martins, extremely close. In fact, very, very close.
Her name is Miami, and here she is:
and note the bling, rhinestone headstock, probably put on by some fat-cat for his woman.
I have pictures into Chuck "Frets" to see if he knows. In the meantime, if anybody here knows what she is (besides DIVINE), tell me.
