1930 Martin OM-45 Delux
Not a bad return :eek: on the initial $225 asking price! |

Hell for that kind of money you could buy a stake in the damn TAK factory! OM is my favorite size/shape of guitar.

The 75 is better, it plugs in. |

Then again, that's par for the course. What am I worried about? :D

What's with the tuners on the guitar? Looks like banjo friction pegs...... |

I'm using 5:1 planary gear banjer tuners on a couple of my ukes and I'm thinking to maybe try them on a guitar. The only problem is that they require a larger peghead hole. So you need to be pretty damn sure before you experiment.

I think they originally wanted to build something and started collecting guitars from people (perhaps even donated to the museum by the more philanthropic folk) but nevere got the project off the ground.
In a virtual museum, once you've taken all the pictures, you don't need the actual guitar anymore. :rolleyes: |
