I don't know how Martin sneaked this guitar through the air-tight Anaheim Convention Center security team. I barely even caught a whiff of the custom shop "Psychedelic Martin" and I was instantly seeing visions straight from the centerfold of the Allman Bros. Band's Eat A Peach.

Legend has it that Jimi Hendrix used to sand a bit of sawdust off the upper bout of his similar guitar and mix it in with his lemonade before an acoustic set at Wah? Cafe back before he "made it." Those were some crazy sets; I can still remember his far-out rendition of Big Rock Candy Mountain. Folks didn't really get it but I knew he was gonna be huge, man, I just KNEW it!
