This is a rare one,circa 1963, Martin made these between '62 and '65 I believe, two De Armond Pick-ups, in nice condition, a one owner, with the original Martin Case ( a little on the rough side) the guitar was welled cared for and the action is good, just like a Martin acoustic. Anyway these are as rare as hens teeth, so I thought I'd offer it here first. Asking $1595.00 plus shipping via UPS to buyers zip.. Elderly Music just had one recently for $2000.00 ... e-mail....lucybobkat@yahoo.com...call 570-829-7908... Thanks for lookin!!!

| Cool, Bob. I keep on thinking somebody big will discover these and they'll go nuts. I've always wanted to drop a Bigsby on one of these and play rockabilly on it - the sound of these is killer for that with those great DeArmond pickups. I wish I was in a position to do this now. I've seen only a handful of these (single and double cut) over the years, you're right about rare as hens' teeth. |

What a cool-looking axe! Looks like an electric guitar with a D-28 neck.

| Skip Spence from Moby Grape played one of these. The D'Armonds are wonderful. Very Gretch-like |

Hi Bob
FWIW- I was in a band in high school in Lodi, CA with a kid that played one...straight into a new 1971 Vibrolux- I STILL have that sound in my head. Absolutely filled an auditorium with woody,jangly tone!
I don't suppose you would entertain a trade for a 2005 Gibson Les Paul Standard Faded with big 50's neck?
