HISTORICAL FACTS: 2 - The Untold Story

“There’s something about handling a Martin that’s about to celebrate its 100th birthday that is absolutely terrifying”: Getting up close and personal with a 1928 Martin 00-42 – a pre-war, small-bodied vintage unicorn of an acoustic guitar

The blues rock ace demoed a five-figure Martin 0-42 in the new issue of Guitarist, and couldn't help but think of that infamous Hateful Eight guitar smash
