Twenty one years. My 1973 Martin D35.
I fell in love with it when it was owned by the fiddle player in a band in which I played Dobro.
I tried to buy it off him but he wouldn't part with it!
Two years later my picking partner picked it up in a London store.
I'd just bought a new D28.
We swapped.
I sold it to a good frind in , I think, 1996, maybe later, as I foolishly decided to get a Martin J40 and J12-40.
Also, my Collings DS2h. Bought new in 1999 , sold it in 2019. (Didn't actually intend to - but I was in a funk about my hands - so asked a store to "hang it on the wall". It sold in a week!)
Oh well, I had a later version.
