Old Martins

[tholmes]

I've played exactly one pre-WWII Martin. It was a '39 d-28 that belonged to a friend. It was, to this day, the finest sounding guitar I have ever played. My friend bought it in '74 from the original owner. That thing vibrated your whole body.

I hesitate to even tell you guys and gals this, but my I paid $100.00 for my 1935 Martin 000-28 at a yard sale about 10 years ago. It has no cracks, it's all original (finish, tuners, etc) except for a replacement bridge. It also has the rare shaded (sunburst) top.

That is really sweet! Some folks have all the luck. Hey - I'll take it off your hands for an even $1000. You'll be making a 900% profit (not too bad) and I'll have a vintage Martin.
