Martin 000 15 M , with added side sound-ports anyone ??

[Long Jon]

Possible bargain for someone with the right skills ? Apparently took a tumble down some stairs.
It's on eBay UK . (I have no connection with the seller, other than sharing my deepest sympathies).

Ouch! Nice lawn, though.

If I remember right, guitar forum protocol requires that someone say at this point, "That should buff right out."

That should buff right out.

Whats it up for?

[Earl49]

Possible - yes. Feasible - probably not. Almost anything is repairable. But you would not spend $4000 worth of luthier's time to almost completely disassemble and then rebuild a $1500 guitar, unless it was somehow extremely special to you. At some point it is just totalled. I can almost picture the eBay ad now: it has a couple of minor dings, just normal play wear really. Sure it's normal if you routinely play while falling down the stairs. Maybe time to ease up on the meds.

"This should buff right out" - simply hilaraious. I was laughing for a couple of minutes before I could compose a reply.

If Willie Nelson sees that, he might upgrade.

Hey, the top of that guitar looks nice!

[BEBF#BEb-man]

If he'd bought the Sigma copy that might not have happened. (Either because of the laminates or 'Sod's Law'.)

Here's the link, for those like myself, who enjoy seeing how these things turn out .... (At time of writing it's still only a fiver, several days to go.)

I never imagined it would be worth getting it professionally repaired, but if it went cheap enough, might be worth it as project for skilled person who enjoys a challenge.*

(*It ain't for me, I still not got around to installing a K&K pick up I bought months ago...)

Thanks for messing up my Friday. I love the 15 series and own one and love it to pieces. This is a horrible thing to show on such a beautiful guiitar. Time to put this guitar to it's resting place and just buy a new one.

Looks like damage from exwife
