I have a Martin D18gl acoustic guitar, if anyone is seriously interested in buying it please get in touch. Please no day dreamers or jokers.
I have had the guitar from new and it is in mint condition.
I have several photos but do not know how to attach them to this thread, you can email me on sungolfinfo@btinternet.com

Hey Jesse Joe,
Thanks for thinking of me. My hands have too much arthritis in them to play any more. If I had the $$$$$ I would buy it for my sister Kerstin. :biggrin: :)

What web site?
If you are interested in the GL Martin, send me an email and I will keep your address on file. (You can get my email address from most of the sites in my signature). I am sort of in touch with about half the owners (there were 61 plus two prototypes), so I often hear if one is on sale. "Burntstump" has posted here a couple of times, and I did email with him several years ago, but I don't think he reads email often (or maybe he changes email addresses).
In any case, just write to me personally if you want me to keep you in mind. Resales generally range in the $4300 to $4900 range, although several have gone for far more. There just aren't many of them, so if you want one you will have to pay dearly. The original list was $3500.
It's a nice guitar, or at least mine definitely is. As with all guitars, each one is different, but I was very lucky to get one with a beautiful top (very tight grain), and sound to match. (No, it's not for sale).

the link in the first post is an e-mail address and NOT a website..

FWIW
burntstump from RobinHoodsville has tried to sell his D18GL here before back in 2005
see:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/showthread.php?p=105213#post105213
and yes
http://ntlworld.com
certainly exist(ed)
But if you try to open it you are now instantly forwarded to the virgin media site at:-
http://www.virginmedia.com/
http://www.virginmedia.com/img/global/logo-virgin-media-wide3.jpg
their old email addresses still obviously works though

And as full confirmation an elementary quick google revealed:-
http://forum.osnn.net/showthread.php?t=88761
where in February 2007
mecham said quite clearly
in a message entitled
"ntlworld.com move to Virgin Media as of tomrrow"
"Today will be the last time you will see ntlworld.com as they cease trading as NTL at midnight GMT time and relaunch as Virgin Media tomorrow morning. You will see a brand new website, and an exciting new product line, changes will commence over the next coming months as services will change for the better. So what can we expect to see from Virgin Media........
ntlworld.com mail servers will change to virginmedia.com (although these mail servers will continue to operate you can if you wish, keep you existing ntlworld.com email address)."

Hi

Beautiful instrument, that's for sure. I saw the ad for those on the Martin site a few years back. I play a Martin DX1, which will just have to do....
