Heh, he CAN be reasoned with.....
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion
I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

This is a Martin D28 Herringbone, I'm not exactly sure what year but I'm pretty sure it is pre-WWII. It was originally owned by Clarence White, who was one of the early innovators of bluegrass guitar flatpicking. It is currently owned by Tony Rice, and is the guitar most closely associated with him. Note the enlarged sound hole.

I first saw one of these harp guitars about 20 years ago, and I've wanted one ever since. The sympathetic harmonics you get off the harp strings sound really cool.

oh lord, won't you buy me a Martin guitar
my friends all have Gibsons, i must be a star
co-sign that loan lord, the bank knows who you are
oh lord, won't you buy me a Martin guitar...
heh...preferably the D-50 Delux....
Building upon the original Martin Tree of Life inlay pattern, the D-50 Deluxe Edition features a genuine African ebony fingerboard inlaid with a freshly redesigned Tree of Life pattern. Every leaf, flower and stem of the Tree of Life is cut from highly colorful dark heart abalone, then painstakingly bordered with a thin band of mother of pearl. The thin pearl bordering creates a shimmering effect that is almost jewel-like in appearance against the black ebony background.
The Tree of Life pattern continues under the nut and onto the headplate where it terminates with the Martin script logo, also inlaid in abalone with pearl bordering.
The D-50 is the first Martin guitar that features inlay on the instrument’s sides and back. Two pairs of floral designs appear on both sides of the back inlay strip, and on either side of the neck heel and endpiece.
The African ebony bridge and the polished black pickguard are inlaid with matching Tree of Life patterns, also cut from abalone and bordered with pearl. A special endpiece is cut from Brazilian rosewood and inlaid with the leaves from the Tree of Life pattern, then precisely boxed with abalone pearl inlay bordering. The heelcap, also of Brazilian rosewood, is inlaid with a Tree of Life flower and leaf motif.
The D-50 is bound with grained ivoroid throughout and is inlaid with highly colorful dark heart abalone at virtually every possible seam including the rosette, the top and back edges of the side binding, the perimeter of the back, the back inlay strip, the end piece, the neck heel area on the body, the neck heel area of the neck, the side profile of the neck and headstock, and the front edging of the fingerboard and headplate. Specific areas have been further enhanced with special herringbone pearl including the perimeter of the top, the area around the extension of the fingerboard, the inner ring of the rosette, and the center stripe of the back inlay strip.
Vintage styled Waverly gold plated brass tuning machines with vintage style butterbean knobs are delicately and individually hand engraved. The nut, saddle. bridge pins and end pin are all crafted from genuine fossilized ivory. The bridge pins and end pin are further enhanced with star sapphire inlays and bordered in 14-karat gold settings.

Pfft, I still like her blue guitar.Matrixman wrote:The harp guitar looks AWESOME. (And so does the blonde guitarist...)
Next time I see her, I'll tell her all these older men (she's just a wee lass) like to ogle her. 
The harp guitar, though...that's just frightening. I'd be interested to see it played.
i could be mistaken...i'll have to look at it to be sure...but doesn't robbie robertson play one or something like it on The Last Waltz?CovenantJr wrote:

CovJr,
Robbie Robertson is the guitarist for The Band.
The Last Waltz is a film documentary made by Martin Scorsese of The Band's last concert together. filmed at Bill Graham's Winterland auditorium in San Francisco. it is probably the best concert film ever made. the film is a mixture of studio takes, interviews, and concert footage. Robertson plays a harp guitar in the song The Last Waltz. here's a link for more info and a photo of Roberston playing the harp guitar...
