martins are some, if not the best guitars made, they are a litle harder to play than some but they have a sound that is out os this world and the older they get the better sounding they get, also the reverd amp is worth something too. I bought an amp back in the 80's a Trace Elliot Mark 5 with 11 band eq, it sold for around three, i gave a little over 500.0 for it as the dde needed money, I did not know what it was worth then but I bought it, saw it on Craigslist he other day and I am paying 500.00 tp get it back, t is nw considered vintage, has a great sound 500 watts, 4 10'' speakers, and made in England. it is worth more bt since I am getting it ack from the gut who bought it from me he is letting me have a deal on it. Well made musical instruments are like money in the bank. Hold on to that Martin and reverb.
