On top of my mandolin purchase, I bought a used Martin at the G.C. today

Thank you!

I am not sure. It is on layaway because they cannot legally sell it to me until Aug 7th.

It isn't old, though. I would say it's no older than 3 years old.

I've the 12 string version and while they're not the collector type guitars, they sound good enough and will occupy a good spot in your collection.. A friend with both a pre-war and nice early 50's Martin recently bought one as a take along. He's bagged it up for paddling trips on the Grand Canyon and sailing where you'd never risk something of monetary or sentimental value. I wasn't looking, but stumbled on mine used like you, and it fit perfectly for use in a praise-team. It really filled up a missing niche when run through a sound board. They're all electrified up and ready to go. Only thing is you have to way loosen the strings (or remove) in-order to change battery, the same as with an after-market install. Small price to pay for the buck.

I bought an X series Little Martin to take with me to reenactments 4 years ago, it sounds and plays pretty dang good

I don't know about owning 30+, but I would have between 12-15.

if only
