I bought a 1980 HD28 about 10 years ago for $1800 and a trade in for $700. The dealer was asking $2500...I tuned her to open G and immediately fell in love as if struck by a lightening bolt.I could not walk out of the shop without having her...my advice is find a Martin you fall in love with and go for the extra $$$. If you amortize the extra $1000-1500 over the next 10-15 years will cost ya abou

Quotemstmst Was at the KC show in 72 - as my buddy put it - 'you could feel the wind coming off their amps' - no shit - loud but good. There was a point in Gimme Shelter after the lead that the guitars both hit the rhythm hard and the intensity was beyond belief. The difference back then was that they really blew thru the songs for maximum impact - 72 was Keith's top moment as a rhythm player

Regret I never saw Traffic back in the day but I did see Blind Faith, Bridgeport Ct 1970 at an outdoor gig. They were Horrible..saw SW & EC at MSG a few years ago , EC was absolutely brilliant that night as SW's guitarist, SW was everything that night, singer, keyboards, guitars, saw him with his solo band several times, you should catch MR FANTASY if you can.
