I have a 1944 Martin - my birth year. Now, I can't guarantee that's the exact year it was made, but it is definitely from that time period - within a year or two.
Well, it's nice to see that someone else is my age. Is that Martin a uke or a guitar Jerry?
I'd love to have a 1944 guitar or ukulele. I do like instruments with some miles on 'em.
I have a 1950 Gibson LG1, a 1958 Goya M-26 and a 1962 Martin D-21.
I also have a couple of old banjos, but no way of dating them.
All of my ukuleles are fairly recent, since the turn of the century.
I do have some old, playable banjoleles, and a Regal tipple but don't know the exact date.
