Beautiful, is that koa? It must be pretty old I'm guessin'.
I think it was like a '32??? It was a "prewar" koa Martin at our local music store. I wanted that guitar more than I ever wanted any guitar before. I didn't even notice it on the wall. The sales dude plucked it down and with this little smirk on his face placed in my hands and says quietly "Check this one out."
OMG!!! It was amazing! It still rings in my brain! It really did fill that shop with the most amazing sweet, resonant, LOUD voice.
I wanted that guitar so much. BUT I didn't have 4 grand on me...so it ended up sold to someone in Hawaii. :wah

Who's guitar is that !!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
I'm not too much of a acoustic player, but can not stop saliva-build-up when I see these small Martins. It's something to do with the headstock, I guess. Some strange kind of -philia...
