Those look great. I'm probably going to steal some of your setup for displaying them for when I move into a new home in August.

Thanks, I really like the string swing wall hangers. They're efficient space savers and when you line a bunch of them up it looks great.

I said I'd do some photos, so here they are:

Here's the other new kid on the block, a Martin OM-28V. It's got my favorite elements of the all Golden era Martins. Thankfully I got rid of my Taylor (hated it), so I picked this up on Craigslist the other day for an amazing price. It's so shiny I can't even get a good photo of it.

I don't actually own that many guitars, lately I've just been getting rid of all the ones I don't like and replacing them with ones I do like.

Very nice collection Wes and well presented too. No doubt I'll be playing the v63 you sold Aitch when he comes to visit in August. It will be the first time that I will have played a v63 in MG, believe it or not. Howard must have every other colour except JG now. :lol:

Some great photos of that 4001! Excellent purchases, Martin 000/0Ms are my favorite, too.

Here's a couple more:

I love the feel of the V neck on this Martin, I also like that it looks like it's 70 years old. I don't like the bright white spruce tops on most of the acoustics out there today.

The V64 & C64 in action. Just realized that I titled this thread wrong, oh well. I was only one number off.

I'm really diggin the Walkabout, it sounds great and it's the perfect size. My 400+ sounds even better but it's just too big and heavy when coupled with a cab (so now it's on Craigslist). Portability is an issue for me, so the Walkabout was just what I needed. I found this one with custom tolex & cloth for a great price too.
