For years I had an early '70s Takamine "D-28" or whatever Martin rip-off. So close a copy that people mistook it from very close up as even the logo script was a dead ringer for CFMartin. It did sound very good but not as good as my subsequent high end guitars. It ended up in the hands of a collector so I don't know if it's still being played. Folks who have known me for a long time still ask me about my old Martin, laughable when you consider the comparative costs. I don't miss it, as good as it was, because I've drifted away from dreads.

Peace, Mooh.
