I managed to snag a Walrus Audio Voyager. So far, loving what I hear.

I GOT THE MARTIN

Congrats man! That is awesome!

Okay, review after a few hours.

It's a Martin 000-RS1. All sepele wood. Very trebly sound and surprisingly loud. Probably louder than the Yamaha but without the original bass response.It feels great to have a smaller body guitar. The original D shape used to feel a bit awkward, but a 000 feels just right. I haven't changed the strings yet, but they are phosphor bronzes from Martin, so I guess the sound probably won't change too much when I switch to D'addarios.

... Yeah, I'm not good at reviewing. But I like this guitar quite a bit, so there's that.

no you're not, but if you like it that's what counts.... I am sure you made the right call if only for resale.

What do you mean by that?

I guess it means, that should you decide the guitar isn't right for you, that people will buy a Martin A lot quicker and for a better price than a seagull or a Fernandez and will usually be excited to see one available secondhand. It sounds like a really nice guitar! Treat it to some really nice strings. It is been a long time since I have been very kind and spoilt an acoustic guitar by giving it a good set of strings, but I used to love putting Dr Thomastic purple wound on them. Is that even still a thing?

I don't thonk so, haha. I've never seen Dr. Thomastik strings before. I'll have to change the strings tomorrow afternoon, then.

Do me a favour. Ask the oldest person working in the music shop if they have any of them. You will probably have to sit back and listen to a story of the good ole days…
