Little known fact about warrenties, Pappa-G, and Martin. Some of their sales are on record based on yer specific serial nummer. If not, they still have been known to issue a "Certicate of Ownership" if you write an affidit telling where you bought it and when. I keep my certificate in the safety deposit box... If you have a lutherer who is also an authorized Martin reapinperson, he should be able to assist you getting the certificate retroactively there fore saving you some bucks. You still have to pay for frets but and bridge pins but that's about it, other than obvious damage 'caused by you or yer cat...

That oughtta free up 'nuff dough to get the Regal I was tellin' you about...
