Priceless 1870s Martin destroyed

That was truly sickening.

 

It's a totally different guitar from the one shown in an article about the incident I read yesterday. This looks like a conventional Martin from the period.

 

Stupid, stupid people! First, to loan it out, and second, not to take care of it properly.

I bet Martin won't lend out another.. good thing they build vintage reissues..

 

 

That's the irony of it all. Probably for less than $10,000, Martin could have build a near-duplicate of that guitar that would have been virtually impossible to distinguish from the original at a distance of five feet. They could even have done it as a re-issue series for the hard-core, braced for silk and steel strings.
