Members Freeman Keller Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 OMG that thing is beautiful. Everything I want in a git - small body, 12 fret slothead - probably Braz and some pretty nice eye candy. A bazillion years ago (that is not an endangered hardwood) when I was in college we went down to the student union for a cup of coffee. One of my buddies said "there's some folk singer playing protest songs, wanna check it out?". There she was, sitting on a stool in a peasant dress, guitar case open at her feet with some coins in it. Special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rada Posted April 25, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Originally posted by knockwood Rada, I knew they'd draw you in sooner or later... It's pretty, but I doubt its sound will floor me.....BUT IT'S JOAN BAEZ SIGNATURE GUITAR! I HAVE TO HAVE IT! I can't picture myself ever really playing it....it'll just be a collector's item. But considering there are only 59 of them made, I don't picture myself ever getting a hold of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cfgsteak Posted April 25, 2006 Members Share Posted April 25, 2006 Originally posted by Rada Well, just look at it like this...Joan was a bra burning activist.

I mean, I never even knew she had a sig, I've never heard it mentioned I would love to get my hands on this thing....something tells me, considering only 59 of them were made, that it's easily going to be in the five-figure range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted April 26, 2006 Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 Originally posted by Rada There were only 59 made....I've never seen one Has anyone seen or played one? This just might be the only Martin I'd willing to fork over the $$ for My good buddy Anubis Jones recently bought one and let me play on it (I was installing a UST in it for her)...mighty sweet! Her "significant other" about had a heart-attack when she found out that Anubis sold her (Anubis') '65 Mustang (that "Noobie" had spent the last 4 years restoring) to be able to afford it...but, she's not a guitarist, either!
