Very interesting! I started playing guitar at age 16 in 1964 myself, like you, though my dad waited a while before helping my out with a really good guitar. He did take me at age 21 to pick out a new Martin and I got my D-35 then, in 1969 (built in '67). Still have it, still a fantastic guitar.
I had the neck reset about 20 years ago along with a refret. It never occurred to me to talk to Martin about it. Hmmmmmmm.....
Regards, Glenn
