Google Docs, A Brief History of Martin Guitars, Chorus Freak
Posted: July 29, 2009 Filed under: Site maintenance | Tags: C.F. Martin & Co., chorus, Effects, GarageBand, Guitars 2 Comments »Couple of bits and pieces this evening.
- To draft these blog posts, I use Google Docs.
- Here, via I Heart Guitar, is a brief history of Martin guitars. Maxwellkeeler, I understand your Martin may or may not have had a run in with an indelible marker? Whatever the case, it evidently didn’t affect the guitar’s sweet sound.
- I made some progress this evening on 072709. Let’s just say I’m having trouble staying away from GarageBand’s effects rack, particularly the chorus. I’m a freaking sucker for chorus. Tune is getting weird, and I hope it gets weirder.
Nice post on the History of Marin. I bought my D-18 in ’97 for not all that much ($750 I believe, used). It’s been very good to me. I actually managed to get rid of the Sharpie guerrilla attack using, naturally, Martin brand guitar polish.
I would wager that hundreds, maybe thousands, of Martin axes have had Sharpie mishaps. Good to know there’s a remedy.
