What you need to know about this particular guitar is that during its long lifetime, it has been played a ton … it is chock full of that kind of vibe that only near-constant play can install. A couple of small cracks have been repaired, the neck has been reset, the fingerboard has been refretted and the guitar has been Plekked, which means it feels fresh and great, and it has all the big, round, full Martin sound you’d expect from a great old beast like this.

The Vintage Guitar Guide shows Martins of this vintage increasing in value from $750 to $1000 every year. Just something to keep in mind!
