Last night, I got to play a...

[Muppet]

1937 Martin 0-17. It was like heaven. This thing played better than some of my electrics, all the way up the neck. It has a totally flat fretboard, which I wasn't expecting. I'm in love. Too bad (1) I can't afford one and (2) the guy doesn't want to sell it. At least I get to visit it sometimes.

Sounds like a cool instrument to get to play.

I'm sure not the one that Muppet played:

$3450 including the 1950's kitchen cabinet decals.

 

[Modern Saint]

Way cool @Muppet

 

[Muppet]

Yes, that's very similar to the one I played.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

Yes, that's very similar to the one I played.

Did it have the decals? I am hoping that was some one's add-on and not Martins' idea.

 

[Muppet]

No decals. I'm sure that was an add-on somewhere.

 

[Gary Blanchard]

No decals. I'm sure that was an add-on somewhere.

In the 1950's, I'd swear my mother had those same decals on the kitchen cabinet doors. That made it freaky to see them on an expensive guitar.
