So one of my high schoolers dropped my guitar off the top bunk at Hume this year. It was pretty jacked up, the top was all split. I didn't really friek out because I have decided not to care about stuff as much as I used to, but I was still pretty bummed. It was my high school graduation present from my parents so there was a little sentiment there as well.
So, I thought I was without my "knock around" guitar from now on, and would only have my breedlove to play. But low and behold the kid showed up to church 3 weeks later with 4 hundi for a new guitar! So I went to guitar center with my friend Paul (who gets fatty discounts cause he used to work there) and decided to purchase the martin DX1. The guitar is pretty simple -no frills, and it doesn't even have a natural wood body. I was super skeptical about getting it, but I've had it for a week and absolutely love it. The tone is warm, the action is great... I actually like playing it more that my breedlove. All of this and I only paid $346 for the thing! ($499 normally). I highly recommend you get one!

hi tim,
just thought i would stop by and say "hi". congrats on the new guitar :)
I'm not surprised that you got something new and free. You always get free stuff!
Thats awesome that you got a new one. Martins are known for their well balanced warm tones. Anyway, I'm glad you like it cause thats all that counts. right?
Some day you gotta switch from bass to guit and lead. =)
tim!!! you blog!@!? awesome. I had a nice guitar, but my son (now an intern at Calvary!!) fell on it playing air guitar in his socks on our wood floor.
Hi Tim and Natalie,
What is the latest news on your church? Will you rebuild?
We missed you at Scott's b-day!
