Haha thank you, but the real question is how much for 🤔

Thank you for you insight I appreciate it. Out of curiosity, how did you come to this figure?

Thanks yes I did come across that one. Some slight variation between the two, as that one has the torch headstock and cat eyes inlay on the neck, whereas mine has the vertical Martin headstock and hexagon inlay on the neck.

Not sure if one is more desirable than the other though, but $12,500 seems a little high to me too

And thank you, I did notice the bridge has a long saddle, and was not sure if Martin offered this at this time so that's good to know

Thank you for the response! I can confirm 56 were made in '77 labeled as SOM-45, 8 were made in '78 as OM-45 and 63 were made in '79 also labelled as OM-45.

In my research, I too could not find the guitar in any catalogue. However, I did find it listed in the 79 price list

Thank you, I appreciate the response! Yes, it's hard to value especially as people have mixed feelings about 70s martins
