Hi Valerie

How many D18GL owners have you managed to trace?

At the moment I know the owners of those listed below:

Prototypes 1 and 2, 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 21 (sunburst), 22 (me), 23, 24, 26, 29, 30, 35, 37, 38, 41 (original owner only), 42, 43, 44, 47, 49, 52, 53, 57, 58, 61 (lefty).

I know the original owner of 41, but don't know who he sold it to. I also have three other names; in one case, I just forgot to get the number and don't have the email address handy. The other two are people I don't know personally, but was told by a third party that they had the guitar. I was never able to verify either of those (both are people in the music business). So at the moment, I know the identity of 29 owners (of the 61, or 31 of 63), plus the two that I haven't been able to verify. I'm about halfway there ...

Prototype 1 was sent to Lightfoot, but arrived damaged. Martin replaced it with Prototype 2, and kept Prototype 1 for themselves instead after repairing it. It is on display in their museum.
