My friend Fritz has two beautiful old Martins, one of which is a 1969 edition (sorry I do not know the specifics) and since he works in music retail he stays aware of their value...he plays them still, too, though not as much as he used to.

If I knew how valuable it would later become, I never would have sold my old "lawsuit" Tachamine! Then again I regret selling it because it was simply a beautiful guitar.
