Greetings Martin fans (Rotsey and/or guitars)
Great post about the 'Oils doing their things with guitars that sing'...I always think acoustically when I hear that line on TRT - (thanks Damien). Have to give Concrete another careful 'earing.
That Martin sounds like some sweet old prize indeed (the guitar!!), and Damiens' gotta be one lucky dog getting his paws on it - to say nothing of moving in such circles :)
The 000 is the perfect sized body for squeezing, and they're beautifully voiced, and get sweeter and fuller over time. I've got a 000-21 of WW1 vintage, and it's so resonant that it's now ridiculously loud. The wide string spacing makes it perfect for picking out 'Short Memory', 'Dead Heart' and the likes, and oh - Whoa sounds fabulosa... Enough ranting! Here we worry less about hot car trunks, and more about minus 27 degree wind chill (like today.) Definitely an indoor guitar. If you're ever in Cowtown, drop me a note and you can give her a squeeze.
THanks again for the details, and happy strumming. If you hear it on any other tracks, let me know.
Cheers,
bruce in calgary

Yes This Martin acoustic is Robs and i have played it
and i did not want to give it back to him!. It's from
the 1940's and is very small though it sounds so
huge!. It has been used by the other boys on Oils
songs too, i think Martin (Rotsey! not the guitar!)
used it on Cemetry In My Mind if i'm not mistaken.
When we play together Rob always lets me use his
Martin and he just plays his black Maton that he uses
at Ghosties gigs!. I did tell him off one day for
leaving it in the boot of his car on a hot day for
about an hour!, i said you don't deserve a guitar
like that if your going to keep it in a hot car boot!.
This acoustic guitar is the coolest i have ever
played and i would sell my first born for it! without
a doubt! it's that easy for me to decide for this
guitar.
you know reminding me of it is giveing me a
huge Homer moment!.
arhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! drool!
Damien.
