I purchased my Tama 3560 February 1976. At that time the Martin D-45 sold for $3800 - $4000. I gave $500.00 for the Tama 3560 and wouldn't trade it for a Martin D-45 today. The Tama is an exact copy of the D-45. The Tama sounds better and is still in mint condition. Keep your Tama guitars. Once sold you'll probably never get another one. Martins are built everyday. The Tama guitar is a rare piece of history.
