Someone requested pics of this 1949 Martin O-15

An old 1949 O-15 to compare it to...

That's the ugliest guitar I have ever seen.

Sell it to me!

Many Scotch-induced battle scars from my uncle who owned it since he was in college. I can't tell ya how many times I got to see him playing on it while I had my ovataion. He'd tell me, here play my Martin. "uh, no thanks, I love my Ovation" (this was in my way younger days...)

He'd just laugh at me a bit and tell me that as soon as I learned to drink Scotch, I'd be old enough to appreciate a Martin. I never quite understood that for many a year.

It's a cool old guitar and best of all, I don't have to worry about messing it up too much. It's already been there and done that.

Yeah, those guitars are definitely keepers. Thanks for the photos! I've got a beat up old Yamaha from the 70's (no Martin, I know) that will someday be passed on to a niece or nephew.
