I thought some of you Martin fans might enjoy seeing a 1925 Martin Slothead. It belongs to a friend in California, and was purchased new by his great uncle in 1929.

Beautiful guitar! I dunno if I'd lean up against a wall that way though. That looks like an accident waiting to happen. Yikes!

All koa, very nice. My friend has a OO-28K from this same era. I got a 31 O-18K. Nice guitars but the bar frets take a little getting used to.

Looks to be in nice shape for being that old. At that age, it's probably all used up. I'll give him two fiddy for it... ;)

It's a 1971 Espana, made in Finland.
