Here we have a rare opportunity in this Martin 75th. Anniversary acoustic in near mint condition. Built in 2001 serial# 807891, and is #242 of 650 made. This 25 year old acoustic looks new and was played only very lightly and well cared for. The guitar would be mint but has very light pick marks on the pick guard and a few surface spec marks on the edge of the headstock as seen in pictures. The frets are like new and the D'Adarrio Phosphor Bronze .12-.54 strings are freshly installed by me.

Ready to play and man what TONE and sound! No issues.

The story went that the guitar belonged to Grandpa along with a dozen other instruments that came up from Georgia to be distributed to the family here in Michigan. They are looking for a possible original case and paperwork, but after 25 years things got a bit mixed up .

The guitar came in to us in the pictured Deluxe hard shell Jasmine case in very good slightly used condition. It is fully functional and fits like a glove.

NOTE: Too cool. Late last summer we shipped a 1967 MapleGlo Rickenbacker 6-12 Converter 'comb' guitar to Billy Corigan of Smashing Pumpkins! We also then shipped a vintage 50 watt Marshall head to L.A. studio-touring guitarist extraodinaire, Michael Landau, and 2 vintage guitars to Jack White's organization down in Nashville just a few days before his 50th. birthday! mmm? Add 'The Kentucky Head Hunters' to the list, just sold Greg a cool little 50's Valco tube combo amp!

Gordy's Music has become a Detroit institution! Our shop was used as a filming location for a few films like "Miracle in Motor City" a Christmas movie on Lifetime (featuring Smoky Robinson). We've supplied gear for movies including "Bill & Ted Face The Music" with Keanu Reeves. We've got decades of celebrity customers, including recent visits from Beck, Eric Johnson, and we recently sold Billy Joel's bassist a cool Gibson SG he is in love with. One day a while back Andre 3000 and his group stopped in to browse as they were playing Masonic Temple that night and right after that we sold an old oil can Morley Wah Vibrato pedal to Credence Clearwater Revival's thee John Fogerty!

We are having and have had a lot of fun here at Gordy's Music! I was just remembering about 35 years ago a tour bus pulled up to our little shop, and who rolls right in and hangs out for an hour? Lenny Kravitz and his entire group, right about the same time I was selling many guitars to and chauffeuring around Dee Dee Ramone who had an apartment a block down from my house.
