Those look Great fine Guitars

I did not know how to respond so I waited it's my D-28 sorry John but if I had to have just one that be it. Flatpickin fingerpicking and sound it's the best all around guitar I have.

For me, D 28s are the iconic great six string.  Lots of factory builts here RTZ.   Favor us with a photo.

 It's Ok RTZ I show um My Old 1961 Gibson J50 which is My favorite but I love all My Cigar Box Guitars to

Show Us a picture I know Like Me you Love all your Guitars Hard to Pick a Favorite. Uncle John Has some fine

looking Factory Guitars He Restored To a fine Guitar is a fine Guitar no matter who Built it.

My photo, I had not played this for months until last weekend pulled it out and played a few of my songs half way through.  1991 Martin D-28 I installed a Fishman  matrix Infinity last year. Thanks for reminding me I'm a bad photographer can take a good picturethis is the fishman

Yup.  That is the one.  The big bassy boomer.   Nice, RTZ.

Nice Guitar I Bet It sounds good to

Fake cigar box, homemade, fake label.  Finger joints made with blood, sweat and tears on my sailboat.  No table saw.  I made a router jig and used it for the joints.  Mahogany sides and ends, birds eye Maple top, Maple/Walnut neck with Mahogany fretboard.

Sounds good plugged in or unplugged.  I built 2 of these. 

Oh gees, Gary.   I thought that was a nice git at first look.  Then knowing you built those finger joints on the box and did it on a sailboat with a router and basic tools.   Humbling.   I hope you keep one of those two forever. 

I appreciate the compliment Uncle John.
