75536 1940 Old Herringbone - Martin Serial 75536 -1940- Owner: chimney
In original condition with no restorations. This guitar has been in an attic wrapped in a blanket since 1966 when the original owner passed away. It's in very good condition but has some imperfections in the finish that would be expected for the use it had. It has had a pickup added, unless it came that way. I am the owners son and just aquired this guitar. This guitar was purchased new by my dad. I have a photo of him posing with this guitar in 1944 in his WW2 army uniform, he was aprofessional musician, (Bob Mason and the Western Swingbillies), some promo photos are out there online with this guitar in the photos, pretty cool!
