it's a) a pre-war Martin and b) a D45 and c) probably sounds like butter..

The best sounding guitar I've ever heard was a 1940 D28.. I can still hear it in my dreams!

It also has premium old growth Brazilian Rosewood back and sides.

Yeah.. we'll make that "d"

Try getting that stuff today! You'll probably do some jail time unless it was salvage!

Sounds like a good geet then.

And no, you can't borrow $175,000

You know, considering the scarcity of those things, even though it is a partial refin, I think it is a bargain compared to a lot of 50's Gibsons and pre CBS Fenders.

yeah... I'd hate to see what it would go for if it was in better condition!
