Default 1951 Martin D28

A friend came around today and brought his 1951 Martin D28 for me to see/play.

He's a young man still at uni who has been working hard to save up for it. Went over to TFOA to buy it. Good to see young people having an appreciation of fine instruments

Just sayin'...

Great story, yeah lots of so called "vintage experts" predicted that the vintage guitar market will tank after the baby boomer's are gone/retired. Lately the kids are getting into it as well.
I was really happy to see Billy Strings going crazy over a '44 Martin D-28 at Gruhns. He calls it the "Holy Grail" guitar and bought it.

I think as long as there are aspiring musicians, vintage top-tier hand-made instruments will always be en-vogue. Quality doesn’t change with time. As long as we (the old-guard) continue to teach the up-and-coming, or give them examples to aspire to (Kottke, Taylor, Emmanuel….) there will be those that watch attentively and respond accordingly.
