      Tim Robertson

      I already have 2 of these 0018SH Martins. I would probably sell mine for $5,500 too! That’s double what they are worth. I also have the Steve Howe ES-175 Signature Model. Steve personally autographed the pick guard with a white paint pen. Not easy to get Steve to sign guitars. I brought him the pick guard and he signed it on a solo tour years ago.

        I have one in original immaculate condition and never played. I am selling it for 5500.00 no less. These are very rare instruments. 00-18 are also not part of the current line up of Martin instruments.

      : I have what seems to be a fairly unique National resoglass guitar. It has much in common with the white National Map (Newport?) series of guitars that included an electic 6-string and bass I belive. The head stock and neck (fret indicators are white Quarter circles) are identical as well as the character and color of the white fiberglass body. This electric or another similar guitar from National called a Studio 66, I believe, looked quite similar in character. This Studio guitar was pale pink in color. The body shape is a lot like the Valco resoglass that one sees in red and black, but the resonator itself is different as well as the placement of the two round holes which appear on the back of my guitar. I’ve searched the net and ebay for over two years and have yet to see it. No doubt this had limited distribution. Anyone have more clues? will u sell it to me.

    I`m trying to restore my 1962 Supro Resoglass Martinique. I need the
    bridge pickup to do it. The both standard PU`s works good. Any chance
    that you could help?

    Thanks for your time

    We’re looking for a smaller sized guitsr for our 7 year old daughter. We tried a Washburn Joey travel guitsr but intonation was not good
    and it was extremely difficult to tune/ keep in tune. We’re looking for size, playability and tone for a reasonable price. Any suggestions?

    I have been told that your company is an approved vender for the California Department of Corrections. Can you supply information on how to place an order? Also I would like to know how to access some sort of catalog.
    Thank you R. Gilby
