If I ever had a martin again I would just keep getting it repaired if it needed it, Gibson can kiss my  :offtheair: I was never so turned off by a company that didn't give 2 cents about their customers. I bought a beautiful SG  two years ago and a week after I had it I returned it. Quality control was awful and their representative at store couldn't care less about my problem and admitted they have a problem. I would love a old Gibson but I aint loaded.
Just a few more

Im no expert on cigars but I like mellow cigars. I like punch, cohiba, maduro and the Indian tabac.

I noticed that some have frets & some don't......or is the fret-less one not finished ?  Being a steel guitar player, I was curious......

I've built quite a few lap steel guitars, and I use plastic for the "fret" boards, with the fret markings etc, cut into the plastic on a CNC that my buddy has in his shop. Fret scales are on the net, for various scale lengths.
  Your "cigar boxes" are cool ! :icon_biggrin:
