When Jim at Podium opened the case to check out Martina on Monday, the first thing he noticed was all the scratches on the pickguard, and he smiled and said, "It's been played a lot -- great."

It boiled down to this – I don’t deserve the Kennedy and it doesn’t deserve me. Incredibly gracious of you, but B.S. You make any guitar sound good, and you'd be a terrific advertisement to any guitar builder lucky enough to put one in your hands. But we can hope for the best for the Kennedy. Let's hope some guy turns it into Trigger.

Let's hope some guy turns it into Trigger. Man, if that's the criteria I should probably only have one plywood no-name guitar from Walmart. My take is that having a few really fine guitars (Kennedy's #42 and #50, and my Podium 00-S) inspire and motivate me to become a better player. That's the plan, anyway.

God's bodykins, man. . . . Use every man after his desert, and who should scape whipping?

I bought a pair of bodykins once. I was too self-conscious to wear them in public.

You really do need the codpiece--it's not optional, even if it is detachable.

Tough choice Bill - a rare opportunity to own a Kennedy, shamrock and all. However, I can testify your music-making is well-served by the Goodall and Martina.
We can be confident the Kennedy will find a good home. (I checked our bank account -- would be possible if it weren't for that minor issue of needing a new furnace)
