I came across a very interesting site, which has pictorials on old Paramount Guitars (made by Martin, and name-sake for this thread), as well as Stella's, Harmony's and others. Thought this would be a worthwhile inclusion for my fellow guitar nerds here.

Hmmm, does that come from the same era as when Martin started making Tiples?

All the best, my friend.

Hmmm, I wonder what that Paramount guitar would sound like if you put a pickup on it. Eh-that Ford F100 would probably crush it anyways.
