Just an off the topic question....how was the guitar from Musician's friend? was there anything wrong? I am hesitant to spend a lot of money (like an HD-35) for a guitar over the internet.
I can't believe that we would lie in our graves wondering if we had spent our living days well, and I can't believe that we would lie in our graves dreaming of things that we might have been...

I got mine for 625 a few days ago and haven't put it down yet, except to attempt to play piano.... it is awesome and all solid wood and since it's a martin it will only get better with age = 0

put my vote down for the d-15

Not all guitars get better with age, I talked very extensively about that with a guy at a music shop. "Don't ever count on that idea, cause it usually won't work that way. Some will, some won't...." he said.

i happen to like the dm....i would go with that over the d-15....then throw a fishman matrix in it and you're set.... :D :D :D
just my opinion though....you gotta buy what you like
stay away from ibanez....their necks always seem to warp...

yeah, i hate ibanez... i think if you buy an acoustic guitar, buy it from a company solely devoted to acoustic guitars (excluding northwood who makes electrics on a request basis i think)
