Members bossmustang3511 Posted July 2, 2007 Author Members Share Posted July 2, 2007 That's a really cool guitar. How long have you had it? hi and thanks for your interest,,i only bought it last year from a private collector of guitars, he wanted 800 dollars no case with it,,when i went to his house to look at it we talked a while and he let me have it for 600 im sure i got a bargin, as i tried a couple of new guitars and a martin but they wernt just as good as this in my opion..offcourse being a 37 year old guitar in 9.7 condition it would sound better as it has the best woods..... its a martin d45 clone and ive only ever saw 2 in 30 years...one in a photo.. extremly well made. cheers boss:thu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Guitar75 Posted August 4, 2007 Members Share Posted August 4, 2007 I have that exact same guitar. I've not seen many either. Mine was given to me by my office manager.
