Thread Name: Tech: The New Martin 1 Series
Subject: RE: Tech: The New Martin 1 Series
I believe the website mentioned something about the "One Series" having been introduced a number of years ago, then discontinued, and now reintroduced. So I suppose that it's a resurrection being offered in reaction to the recession ;^)

While I was at CFMartin.com, I took a peek at the price list to see the current MSRP for the model I own, the D-18. It's $2599, which is a little higher than I expected because my very nice 1969 D-18 was appraised (informally) at $2250-2400 less than five years ago. Surely a vintage Martin in decent shape is worth more than a new one ~ no?

I'm NOT at all interested in selling, but I am always interested in the current value of my instrument, purchased new for $299.00 in June of 1969.
