This Martin O 18 #141739 was gifted to my customer Hiaso Shinagawa  by the late Townes Van Zandt in 1980. Hisao who is also known as, the Japanese Bob Dylan, claims an arsenal of 2,000 songs! The guitar got run over by a vending truck at a Farmers Market he was playing at on December 14 2008.I think this one is going to take a little extra time.  Click here for more photos.
