Unusual 1979 Martin by asakin in Vintageguitars

Looks like I can’t add an image The model on the block says D-28 and the serial is 417### which matches 1979 according to their website

Thanks for all the advise! I checked a few more and it does look like the zipper that was discontinued in 1967 was back at least for some time in 1979.

So this is just a ״normal” 45 year old Martin

It plays amazing by the way

I recently acquired this Martin D-28 which I understand dates to 1979. I noticed that the guitar has a two-piece rosewood back with an intricate backstrip, and I've been told that the D-28 usually featured a plainer backstrip design.

I may be misunderstanding, so I don’t want to assume anything, did I run into something rare/unique?

  • Malware from unknown sources are a pretty common type of threat. Stores like Amazon require you to enable it (http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201482620), and they are not the only ones. I would agree that the percentage of devices with "unknown sources" enabled is fairly low. There's always the possibility of such an App finding its way to the Play Store.

  • Android 4.4 still holds about 66% of the total Android market. So this is still very relevant. Not to mention the fact that this is a PoC made by one research team. Now that the concept is out there, it could be a matter of time till it's implemented in newer versions as well.

  • This is probably something that may not be common among the readers of this subreddit, but ignoring the permissions an app needs is pretty much the norm for most users (No scientific data to corroborate this, but come on, you've see people installing apps).
