OT ustacud:
I can appreciate everything you're saying. I have a few family members who own wonderful guns, yet stopped hunting/shooting many years ago; you think they'd consider selling them to me, not on your life. I'm just the opposite. I buy nice guns to use and abuse. I will admit though, I've been using the same Beretta shotgun since I was 14. Guys are always telling me to upgrade, since my little model A2 no longer likes to eject low brass. As for the guitars, I buy em, play em, and love to watch others pound away. Of course, I don't own anything like your Martin. However, someday I hope to be the proud owner of a nice Taylor. But since I just retired from the USAF, that little dream will have to wait. Who knows, maybe DNAP will surprise me and actually provide a nice return to this common share holder….owning the bulk of my shares up in the double digit range that may take a while.
Good luck to you, and keep holding that Martin tight.
