| New York Martin guitars are rare and worth a fortune. My wife bought me a (Nazareth) Martin for my 60th birthday, my pride and joy. I also have a traveling-size Martin given to me by Peter Yarrow (of Peter, Paul and Mary fame) at the behest of our own Ethel Romm. I met Chris Martin IV at Rudy’s music shop some years ago and he gave me a Martin tee shirt which I wear proudly. M |
