Pix from the Dallas Guitar Show 2011

martin6string · 04-18-2011, 10:42 PM

Just got home from the airport, but I thought I'd throw up some quick photo's. The show was a HUGE success!!

Martin Six String Customs Booth Backdrop (well, part of it at least)

Bursted Ballpoints Display

Supporting MLP

Tom Murphy stopped by and loved the "Holy Grail Harness" and our attention to detail. Dave and I were honored for sure to get the thumbs up from a legend!

The Martin Six String Models with JD from Warrior Guitars and yours truly

JD from Warrior Guitar with Rick Derringer. Warrior is using our Holy Grail harness in the Brazilian Isabella 59 Model (Held by Rick). Both Rick and JD were stoked with it

Ricks guitar sounded amazing!

JD, the lovely Mrs. Martin Six String (Kim), Rick Derringer, and Dave

Stay tuned....More pix to come....

Thanks bro!

We don’t seam to do well in Texas. I guess the Forum has a more east coast
attitude about it. Thanks for getting the word out! We really appreciate it.

Thanks buddy.

Murphy actually dug the pens too. Funny enough, we are working on an "aged version" as we speak

That's great!

Dave@Martin6String · 04-19-2011, 09:03 PM

Yes, Murphy looked at the pens and said "that's cool" then immediatly after saw the Holy grails and said "and....thats really cool" Murphy and Derringer we both really nice guys and it was a pleasure have their approvals of what we are producing.

Thanks so much, Ray, for the kind words. I enjoyed meeting you and Lee very much. You guys have some killer guitars!

Too bad you guys missed the models

Now, onto Philly in July

Ray pooped at the booth.

captcoolaid · 04-20-2011, 10:05 PM

Dave , Matt if we all walked into a bar together people would have ran. Or Mat would have gotten the VIP with his 2 body guards.

captcoolaid · 04-20-2011, 10:06 PM

Where was Greg for all this.

Right next door hanging out with Brad Davis, who by the way is a monster player and a super nice guy.

Matt,
Killer display! Looks like you had a great time.

Thanks, Kim. I appreciate the kind words.

Did you make it out to the show? Dave and I were so busy that we literally didn't get to see much of any of the other displays at the show.

We'll be at Philly in July and November and Arlington, Texas in October so hopefully we'll get to meet you and some other folks
