Hal Leonard The Martin Book $24.95 For over 170 years, the C.F. Martin Company has produced some of the finest flattop acoustic guitars in the world. Martin's designs for the shape and construction of these instruments have influenced virtually every other manufacturer, and the flattop guitar, as we know it today is essentially the same as that established by Martin in the 1850s. At one time or another Martin's guitars have driven the sound of every kind of popular music, from country to pop, from bluegrass to rock 'n' roll, and with the current resurgence of acoustic music, Martin's premier guitars are once more finding a new generation of enthusiastic musicians. The Martin Book is a fresh view of this extraordinary guitar maker, pulling together many strands of musical and manufacturing lore into a fascinating whole that illuminates Martin's long and varied history. Dozens of specially commissioned full-color photographs show every kind of Martin model, some of which come from Martin's own unique collection. Meticulous listings for collectors and enthusiasts simplify the identification of Martin instruments and detail virtually every guitar that the company has produced since the early 1830s. |

O-75-749423 martin guitar looking to price this?
my dad passed away and always said he bought it in 1956 but the serial numbers say it was made in the 90's but i know for a fact he had it in the 1970's can anyone with a guitar blue book help me out? or give me a better site to price it myself
thanks guys i appreaciate the help and sentements
1948 Martin 0-15 wow thats the mirror image of it, thanks
was having a hard time finding anything about the full red mahogany body
I've never seen those numbers before on a Martin, but I'm not an acoustic player anyway.
There is a very knowledgeable and honest dealer here in St. Paul where I live, Willie's American Guitars. You could give him a call. (Yeah, there really is a Willie, but his staff is also very helpful).
(651) 699-1913
Meanwhile check out his website and see if anything under the Martin link looks similar to your father's guitar. I personally wouldn't sell it if it were mine, but I know sometimes you want a good home for things you can't use.
