Wildwoodians, if I had to make an NBA player comparison for this amazing Custom Shop Martin OM-28 with Cocobolo back and sides and a premium VTS-aged Adirondack top, I’d have to say Giannis Antetokounmpo. “But,” you say “wouldn’t a better comparison for the Greek Freak be a larger guitar, like a D-28?” to which I would reply “Please don’t talk over me as I’m writing this Instagram caption.” You see, this OM-28 certainly has the rim-wrecking raw athletic power to get to the paint and score at will, as the Cocobolo does a startling imitation of Brazilian rosewood’s richness and beauty and the Adirondack top supercharges things. But, that’s not all there is to Giannis’s game, and this OM-28 has more in its bag, too. Just as Giannis’s silk euro-step leaves defenders lunging for air, or his underrated midrange game offers an effective counter to defenders who play off him, this muscular monster also has a splendid capacity for nuance, subtlety and grace. And, just as Giannis makes shooters better with his elite passing, serial 2938479 works beautifully in an ensemble setting while also being able to take over a game. For more NBA players comps for guitars (or an in-hand description), please give us a call or drop us a line, and don’t forget to visit our Martin page for more detailed information and beautiful pictures!

Wildwoodians, who do you think would win in a fight: this pre-owned 2022 Dunable Minotaur, or an actual Minotaur? You might be Team Actual Minotaur, but we think you’ll agree with the consensus we reached after a vigorous discussion at the shop: a 2022 Dunable Minotaur would absolutely destroy a real Minotaur, no contest. Let’s be real here: despite the Minotaur’s famed reputation as a mythical beast, it’s actually as fraudulent as Lebron’s bubble ring. First off, a human body with a bull’s tail and head wouldn’t even be good at fighting at all. It provides no real combat advantages, and the lack of peripheral vision caused by the eye placement makes it an unwieldy combination ill-suited for a real battle of any sort, let alone a fight against someone wielding a weapon with perfectly-voiced humbuckers like this Dunable. Plus, the tail is just going to get in the way, and you could even grab it and gain an advantage! And sure, the actual Minotaur has put up numbers, but those were human sacrifices delivered to him on a platter by King Minos—he barely even did any work to win those victories! The point is, the actual Minotaur is a trash mythical creature, and the 2022 Dunable Minotaur rules and could easily vanquish it, probably even better than Theseus himself. For a somewhat less-silly exploration of this guitar’s greatness, head over to our Used Gear page, and feel free to call for an in-hand description (or if you just want to do a tier ranking of beasts from myths of antiquity).
