Hi, anyone know much about the guitar mentioned above? I have one in my workshop now, I can barely find mention of it in any books or websites. Its a beaut tho, sounds fantastic. Koa back and sides, spruce top i think, has 1833-1983 branded inside. serial number 428439. I tried a while ago to join the umgf but i cant seem to get anything rolling with them still... any advice on either is gratefully recieved, cheers |

Curtis-- The UMGF is in a read only state for a couple of days as they are switching out the software that powers the site -- try again after today. Here is a link to the faq on how to join -- its the tenth thread down: http://p072.ezboard.com/ftheunofficialm ... forumfrm19 The serial number information can be found here: (amongst other places) Looks like this one was built in 1980. http://www.provide.net/~cfh/martin.html You can also call the Martin Company. They will be happy to provide you with information through their customer support department. That guitar is a beaut!! |

I worked on a local D35 with the same dates. It is a 150 year anniversary of Martin in business and it's possibly an anniversary edition. Seems like the one I worked on was pretty standard. How about a picture or two? TIA |
