Here´s probably a listing of what I can identify:

Yamaha Custom
Martin D-18
Martin D-35
Martin OM-42PS
Gurian Size 3
Ovation 1619 Custom Legend

Am I missing any? I think I´ve seen him before with a Martin D-28 too, but I´m not too sure.

Well, for one, he is pictured with an Olsen (James Olsen - Circle Pines, MN) on the main page of this site. Other Olsen players include James Taylor, leo Kottke, Russ Barrenberg, Phil Keaggy. Regards, SDF

Thanks for the link ivalo. I totally forgot about that 12 string D-28 he uses.

hi bluesmoke. i actually have tried a PS signature Martin guitar. i found one at a guitar center near to where i used to live and used to make a regular visit to play it until it was sold. needless to say, it was WAY out of my price-range.

it was nice, but i dont remember it being my style. you know, when they make signature guitars they usually make them great for the musician and then turn around, make them the cheapest way possible and sale them that way. its disapointing, but also the way that things go.

i would still Love to play it again and look for it whenever i go to a guitar center, but have yet to have found one again. i can say that they are beautiful guitars. i hope that you get to try one some day.

I don´t think the signature models are scaled down when sold to the average consumer. However, with the PS2, that might be the case. It´s supposed to be a more affordable version of the OM-42PS. Also with Martin signature guitars a significant portion of the profits got to charity. $92,000 was given in charity from the sale of Eric Clapton signature guitars.
