    Norm, I’m so happy you are back to work and looking good. I hope your health is better and better each day.. I’m in bed these days on the road to recovery from Stage 4. My kids bought me a iPad. With UA-cam I can watch your shows from your store. The Martin OOO-45 today was special. Your conversation with Joe was wonderful. A few years back my wife and I walked into your store. You were sitting on the couch. I asked if you had a OOO-42. You reached back and grabbed one next to you. I paid and headed down the road. Thanks for the friendship and music you put into our lives. David

    What a find! How rare is this guitar? According to Martin, only 125 14-fret 000-45 guitars were produced from 1934 - 1942, and only 12 in 1941. This guitar is a stunning, untouched example. There are still Holy Grails out there to be found! Thanks for sharing Joe and Norman! And thanks to GC for making this possible and saving a woman's home. Great story, it made my day.

    So guys, what a sound! That’s all I can say. When I was a stupid kid I had a Martin and I really didn’t know what I had. I sold it so that I could get on with my life and finance something else. When I hear the sound of this Martin is it triggers a feeling in your chest and kind of makes you take a deep breath. Really a wonderful work of art that you have there.

    I admire the bravery and skill of the luthier that could or would attempt a neck reset on a pre-war Martin. Even an 80s reissue would give me the meat sweats to attempt an NR. That's a hefty repair bill for that, guarantee you, and it takes a good bit of experience and skill to do it properly.
