Ha, thanks man... It's a nice part but I don't do it justice, I prefer it cranked on the Jag... Really happy with that Martin, it sounds beautiful...
What size are those acoustics? They look huge!

They're big boys alright! All pretty much jumbo sized but they're very much in the Irish traditional fingerstyle vein rather than country thrashers. I actually had (technically still have) a lovely Takamine EGS-330SC Cedarhog which one of my best mates borrowed about a decade ago and most definitely has squatters rights on at this stage, I love getting a chance to play it when he's home from London but he's desperately attached to it and I haven't the heart to take it away from him at this stage!

Martin is sounding glorious in the lovely Aussie sunshine on IG man! Making me terribly jealous of the dour, damp scenes outside the window and making me want to reach for my Collings!
Mahogany guitars are bloody great though aren't they! I've always had a want for a Cedar/ Mahogany guitar and concluded the best bet is a Lowden/ McIlroy/ McNally if the budget was strong or a Takamine N-20 if not so strong. Really wish Collings did a Cedar top but apparently Bob Collings hated them, made a few but was never happy with the bridge adhesion on Cedar?
Couldn't find a nice picture of a McNally J Cedarhog but also lovely. It's strange how Ireland is so on top of the modern acoustic game!
