What is the value of a Martin guitar?

Answer 1

To get a true value, the model number is needed. There is a HUGE difference between a D-18 and D-28 due to the wood type. All pre-1969 Martin Guitars with a model number of 21 and higher are made from the now SACRED BRAZILLIAN ROSEWOOD from deforesting the amazon. In 1969, there was an international ban from harvesting that old growth wood and Martin switched to the more common INDIAN ROSEWOOD. Hence, a rosewood Martin from 69 or earlier is worth ALOT more than the standard mohagany guitar. Condition is also a HUGE factor in determining the value. In describing the condition, it is common to use a percentage. 100% being mint and unplayed and 20% being unplayable. A clean uncracked but well played guitar would be in the 50 - 60% range. A 1947 D-18 in 60% condition is worth (on the street) about $4500-6000. a 1947 D-28 in 60% condition is worth about $12,000 - 14000.
