Heavens. It's not. Obviously, they're right. Satan is real. He's got a job at a guitar factory in Nazareth (of all places!)

Don't blame Satan.
Something even darker and horrific is responsible for that.
Country music.

Wow. That is horrendous. If you had to, and I mean HAD TO print an album cover onto a quality guitar, surely there are thousands of more deserving candidates.

I refrain from what I wrote before.
The print fits. Perfectly.

I saw the guitar. Just chuckled. Martin must have forgot It's not April anymore.
Then found out this is real. Well Well Well, I think I'll keep my money.

How to make an expensive guitar look cheap and nasty Part 1. Looks like a spoof from something like Spinal Tap - I wish it was a spoof. Difficult to imagine this concept even appealing to fans of the band / personalities involved. Not the first offence - there were those anniversary models that were pretty horrendous. Pictures of which seem to have disappeared on Martins own site. Mark

I liked (actually hated) the Felix the Cat model a while ago. Out of interest a few days ago I checked how many standard models Martin offer, 142, that's without custom models like that beauty.

I bought a Louvin Brothers CD a while back after hearing them for the first time on a documentary about country music. Although not a big fan of the genre there are some good songs and some great players. The Louvins harmony singing was brilliant, you could hear where the Everlys came from. re. the guitar, I can't think of anywhere but at home you could play it without getting laughed off.

I don't believe in Satan but I'd be too scared to have that guitar in the house.
