Members scottosan Posted November 7, 2004 Members Posted November 7, 2004 I've been looking for an acoustic for a while. I've had nothing but electrics for the past 15 years. So, I am talking to the store manager, and about different material etc. and we start talking about other stuff. Somehow, I made mention that I previously was in the militarty and he told me to wait just a minute. He pulled out a Martin DVM. This was a limited run line Veterans Guitar this is #127. I had no idea what it was worth. The list on it was $3199, They were selling it for $2199 and he offered to sell it to me for $999, because they've had it for a while and he wanted it to go to a good home. Well, It is very similar to an HD-28 with the Rosette and back purfling of the D-45. Here are some pics:

Are you talking about the Arlington show? I totally spaced it this year. I didn't realize it until a week after it was gone.

Yeah...it was a lot better/bigger than the Dallas show (which I thought was kinda weird!)...picked up a few new toys, sold some gear I wasn't using anymore, got to shoot the breeze/jam briefly with some heavily-tattooed albino dude named "J. Winter"...decent blues picker
