Yesterday, my mother showed up after cleaning out my grandmothers house and she brought me her old guitar. Knowing my grandma wouldn't buy some junky guitar my first thought was A MARTIN!! Well, this ain't a Martin forum....

Anyways, its a cool guitar that probably hasn't been touched in 30 years. 1112-2 and apparently a 1975 model. It has the original reciept $384+$100 for the case with a $120 trade in. A strap, some misc picks, and an unopened package of fender strings.

I've been keeping my eyes open for a classical guitar, so since I have this now I think I'll put some of those M130 silk & steel strings on and use it to work on my finger picking. I've gotta clean it up first of course. The bridge is pretty dry... I live in colorado, so the humidity is typically around 15% except for when it rains, which is never. So I'll humidify it for a week or two before I start playing it much. There's no cracks in the top or anything.

If anybody has any advice or ideas I'd love to hear them.

Very nice. Smallest pick guards I've ever seen.

Welcome.
