My luthier who inspected it says leave it as is, a non issue structurally" Very minor finish crack along the pickguard edge, as is common on these. There have been no repairs or overspray on the original finish. It is now 42 years old yet in amazing condition. So there you go, this is the last built of the 68-69 series of 235 Brazilian D-45's.

#STOLEN MARTIN GUITAR SERIAL NUMBERS SERIAL NUMBERS#
Martin has a policy that if a guitar is stolen or broken at the factory, they will make another w the same details and serial number to be sure there exists a guitar for all serial numbers shown. This for some reason came to Martin's attention in 1977 as they were going over some records. In 1969, the original guitar w serial number 248577 was stolen from the Martin factory and never recovered. Here is the background of this guitar, according to information from C.F. As you may know, Martin made a total of 235 Brazilian D-45's in 19. The prior owner Len had this to say:"I have here a very unique Martin D-45. This guitar is in excellent condition with figured Brazilian Rosewood back & sides, abalone hexagon fingerboard inlays, vertical CF Martin peghead logo, abalone trim on the top back and sides w abalone endpin in the style of the original 1969 D-45s with ivoroid binding on the neck and body edges. This is a Brazilian D45 from the 70's with an unusual story, I leave to the owner to tell. RIYL: Martin have set the benchmark for a lot of builders and manufacturers.
