A few years ago I sold my Martin guitar when I needed some fast cash. Well, that buyer, a close friend of mine, recently bought my Masterbilt DR500mens dreadnaught guitar. I sold it because I wanted to get something smaller. Well, a few days ago, Jerry (the buyer) called me and said that every time he picks up that Martin I sold him, he says "This is Mick's guitar" and remembers that I played it on my wedding day when I sang my song, Loving You, for my bride. He remembers all the songs I wrote with that guitar, and he told me that he is "giving" it to me - it's rightful owner as far as he was concerned. Jerry said he didn't want any money. I just had to promise that I'd never sell it again, and never give it away to anyone.
I agreed... and here is my Martin:
That's me on the left. That is Jerry on the right with one of his Ovations.
What a great friend... one of a kind.
BTW... Jerry was "Best Man" at my wedding. My wife got all misty-eyed when she saw me playing the Martin again.
