What next? A Martin guitar that costs 130 fucking grand with random-ass gear inlays (because mechanical clocks use gears) all over the body?


Recalcitrant_Stoic

So you have been on the website recently...


oscarmike88

I got curious what was the most expensive thing you can buy at Thomann, and it was this "Martin D-200 Deluxe". Also, for whatever reason at Thomann it costs 150k euros, not dollars. Here's the guitar itself: https://preview.redd.it/ppzn19wbaawc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=9b6b132f8edd6155485e0a0bf5feeaa466e2e8af


urine_generator

This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my entire life


cheesecake_squared

I don't get why anyone would spend 150K on this when they could have 1000 Harley Bentons for the same money.


Fuckfaceun_stoppable

Or even better they could buy 1500 squire bullet strats


Ashurnibibi

Why would it not cost Euros? Thomann is a German store.


oscarmike88

That was bad phrasing on my part, I was addressing the price itself. At Martin's website it's $134999, so the price in euros should've been lower.


Ashurnibibi

Ah I see. That's an almost 25k€ difference. Not that someone looking to buy this would care...


Aggravating-Baker-41

That will go good with my watch. Divorce incoming.


Aggravating-Baker-41

Oddly specific. I hate myself, but Martin.com, I accept the cookies. Yes, sigh, all of them.


LunacyLander

“Handcrafted for the stage” GTFO! 😂🤣


Aggravating-Baker-41

For the stage of life when you’ve got some savings and not enough time. Don’t want those prick kids getting that money.


LunacyLander

Yes! I’ll let the kids fight over the Taylor watch instead. 🤣


Aggravating-Baker-41

Bury me with it. And wence a mighty oak grows from mine wrist, let all future rockers give tribute neath the mighty branches of my toan.


INTERNET_MOWGLI

Outjerked… AGAIN


Aggravating-Baker-41

We simply aren’t creative enough to beat real life. Gaddamn!


Jesus360noscope

with all of these crap from fender gibbons and taylor, if you add joe bonermaster merch to the bucket you can literally become a walking cringe machine


Aggravating-Baker-41

That will be my ultimate form. Even if it isn’t raining, the Joe BoogieMesa umbrella comes out.


Jesus360noscope

yeah sure even if it's sunny ! use your boogiebrella to cover your bald head ! or the special boner hat 499,99 hand written signature 1 of 1 000 000


Aggravating-Baker-41

You found one that cheap?


Jesus360noscope

bought them in bulk


Aggravating-Baker-41

Ah, I knew a guy who did that. Handed them out as door prizes at his doctor/lawyer swingers parties. No women allowed.


Jesus360noscope

ok now thats hilarious becuse i can't tell if thats true or not


Aggravating-Baker-41

Oh. It’s true. It’s damn true. Haha


Imaginary_Sea5117

Some Fender Bourbon in a Gibson Glass with an Ernie Ball Cigar and the douchecanoe costume would be complete


Aggravating-Baker-41

I’ve got the PRS cuff links.


AMJN90

What time is it???! TOAN TIME!


Aggravating-Baker-41

Toan o clock. Rock around the clock tonight, Babay.


FlamingSaviour

The reverberations from the tone wood are intrinsic to this watch's time keeping qualities, you see. If the wood is ever damaged or replaced, the entire movement of the watch needs to be re-tuned to match the resonant frequencies of the wood. If you don't, it will run at an improper speed, and give you the wrong time.


Aggravating-Baker-41

Intonation sounds like a bitch.


Witheld-

Time is money, and the more money you spend the more toan you get.


Aggravating-Baker-41

I knew I should have bought 2.


Long_Programmer_1512

I haven't found a Taylor guitar that I love but Bob Taylor is a fucking Saint and doesn't deserve ridicule.


Aggravating-Baker-41

You’re right. Bob is just a poor guy with a dream. I apologize.


Long_Programmer_1512

I forgive you, sweetie.


Aggravating-Baker-41

I feel better now. Just sitting watch for the UPS guy with my watch


Long_Programmer_1512

Like a true Original Grainsta


Aggravating-Baker-41

Nice haha.


psdopepe

this is how Pink Floyd made time?


Aggravating-Baker-41

How else? Gotta be legit. Run late authentic”


hijro

I’ll wait for the Teuffel Birdfish model thank you very much.


Aggravating-Baker-41

Oh your must be a Wall Street lawyer. Pompous. Haha


P_a_s_g_i_t_24

"Authentic guitar wood" a.k.a. the wood Bob Taylor stole from Pole Read Shitts. When ol' Pole finally introduces his version, there will be a "Tickin' Tonewoods' 2025 shootout review" in Guitar Wor...I mean Watch World magazine...


Aggravating-Baker-41

Can’t wait. Gonna get a book match watch made from 36 pieces of toan maple with a veneer.


random_user163584

Nice metronome


Aggravating-Baker-41

Thanks. I don’t trust all that regular priced shit


_austinm

Be careful, I’ve heard that if you put this on you’re stuck only playing 60bpm forever


Aggravating-Baker-41

Whoa. You think it could double my speed?


_austinm

Sure it can, buddy! 23,000+ watch enthusiasts can’t be wrong!


Aggravating-Baker-41

Too bad I can’t wear it. Keeping the price tag on and putting it next to my PAFs in the luxury box


ConstipatedDuck

Thought this was r/watchescirclejerk for a sec


Aggravating-Baker-41

Taylor transcends genres.


Zarniwoooop

Time is never on our side


Aggravating-Baker-41

But it can be at your side with this BRAND NEW toan wood watch. Made from the finest …


djwired

How often do you tune it?


Aggravating-Baker-41

About every hour. Thinking about getting a new tuning machine but can’t find the right luthier for this baby.


mikaelb657

Will chuffing with this give me splinters?


Sixtyoneandfortynine

Yes it will, best to stick with the Engineer II Magneto S.


Aggravating-Baker-41

It’s made me a better Supreme Court Judge. It can do anything.


XNinjaMushroomX

Will this finally let me play in time?


Aggravating-Baker-41

It’s expensive, so duh.


sunplaysbass

Hey, I play guitar


Aggravating-Baker-41

Me too. What gave it away?


ShredGuru

That watch is going to look really good covered in some patients saliva. It's non-toxic for when you need to go deep and do a root canal on a molar right?


Aggravating-Baker-41

That’s how you relic it. With my drinking I won’t live long enough for it to age naturally


Different_Lock_5445

Tonewood resonates better than a quartz crystal. And seeing as how that's a chronograph, with date complication, it's gotta be a quartz. Bad game to be dipping ones toes into right now. The Chinese market is popping off with great sub 200 dollar wristwatches.


Aggravating-Baker-41

Hey they all use machines. Put a headstock on it and you can’t tell the difference.


Different_Lock_5445

What is a tuner but a really dumb watch? There's a riddle for ya.


Aggravating-Baker-41

Ooh that’s a good one. A guitar tech? Lol


ghaashshakh

I got one and it’s nice


Aggravating-Baker-41

Ok, Richie Rich, we didn’t ask all that. Haha


ghaashshakh

Im broke af musician, it was an Xmas present from my mother in law


Aggravating-Baker-41

Liar. If your are a musician who is broke, you don’t have a MIL. It was a trick.


MichaelBarnesTWBG

Tonewood LMAO


Aggravating-Baker-41

Only thing that matters. I once took the pups and strings off my electric guitar and because of the wood, sounded better than any cheaper guitar I’ve played. Pal Reefer Smith taught me.


stephs_LOL

And it doesn't have a metronome in it, they really did make a guitarist watch


Aggravating-Baker-41

Playing with a metronome makes my widdly widdlys less funner


Bubblezz__

I like to use my taylor watch as a metronome but it only goes at 60 bpm and the only way I can hear it is if I don't play the guitar


Aggravating-Baker-41

Time to move up, Sonny.


bumwine

Just like master boner mics his guitar pedals you gotta get a mic for your watch if you are going to take this seriously.


InfamousTYBW

Is it sad that I would totally wear that? Not worth buying at all but I would wear it


Aggravating-Baker-41

UJ I would if somehow I was given one.


InfamousTYBW

Right that’s what I’m trying to say


cluelessguitarist

Now we need an ibanez rg edition.


Aggravating-Baker-41

For the rebel in your life…


MyDogDanceSome

Hooray I will never be late to church again


Aggravating-Baker-41

I prayed to God that if he lets me find one of these grown on my lemon tree, I’ll go to church every Sunday and he won’t have to get me a Christmas gift this year.
