Default I got one...

I traded for mine in 1993 or 1994 and that is what they were asking for it then and it was used. I think this guitar retailed for between $4000 and $4500 in 1991. I won't say it's the best Martin I've ever played but it's close. I took mine to Guitar Center a couple months ago and it sounded better than any Martin they had in stock...and they had some marquis and Ge's and a D-45 and a D-42..and an Authentic....This guitar is basically a D-28 but with scalloped braces...in my opinion it doesn't have the booming sound and is more balanced than most HD-28's or D-28's....it's the only guitar I have that if it was stolen I'd really really miss it!!....I'd say offer him less and try to buy it!!!....Oh, almost forgot..they were a "guitar of the month" guitar...and they made a few more than 200..I think some were sold overseas...
