Several of the dealers I talked to when I was trying to get one told me that it sold out within a couple days after Martin released them. They said the D-18 GL sold out faster than any signature edition they,ve ever issued. I think I may have got one of,if not the last one that was available.(when they first came out)Though my wife mentioned a couple times about a GL guitar being for sale,I did'nt check it out until pretty late in the game.I thought it was one of Gord's old guitars and would be more than I could ever afford to swing.As soon as I found out what it really was,I contacted Martin and they sent me "The List" of dealers who had them.The day I got the List I started at the top and began calling and calling and calling .It did'nt look like I even had a chance,but I would not give up until checked them all. I could have saved a lot of money if I would have started at the bottom.When I finally got Jay from Craig's Music in Wetherford Texas and He said "Yes,we have one",.....I really can't put it in words....When ever I get to make the trip to visit my Brother in Texas,I will most definately be making a visit to thank Jay....He made my day....
