Looking for Jimmy Buffett LE Martin LX Guitar ... Help!

Post by Trooper583 »

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums but by no means new to being a Parrothead! I have been a fan of the music and culture for years and was actually lucky enough to meet Jimmy, Mac, Mike Utley and Peter Mayer all within the last year. Truly a Parrothead's dream.

I'm hoping that maybe someone on here might be able to help me with my problem. I am really wanting the Jimmy Buffett Limited Edition Martin LX guitar. I have exhausted every avenue I know with no success. I am aware that there were only 300 made so there is a decent chance I'll never own one. Just thought I would throw my line out there and see if anyone would bite. If you've got on to get rid of let me know!

Are you interested in parting with it or know someone else who might?

It is a very nice looking guitar.

Just get yourself a regular LX1 and paint some palm trees on it! :roll: :lol: Seriously though, the Little Martin's are great, even if you don't get your hands on one of the LE Buffett ones, I'd suggest picking one up any way. Way better than the Martin Backpacker for a travel guitar and if you have kids around, they are the perfect size for small hands. :D Here's a demo. :wink:
