Hello, everyone. Does anyone know if there is a Martin guitar, model Gordon Lightfoot for sale on this planet, or any other? I would love to add this stellar model to my collection.

Hi Sean,
I don't know of any at the moment, but one comes up for sale from time to time. The usual selling price is between about $4500 and $5000, although a few have gone for more than that. The original list was $3500 and initially you could get them for the usual discounts.
Jim Holler, a luthier, had one for sale several months ago. It may still be available. I believe he was looking for $5000. If you are interested, even in that price level, I'll dig up his contact info.
It's a great guitar; sounds better than most D-18s (certainly any recent model, and also most vintage models). I know quite a few D-18GL owners including a couple that have posted here. A few have gotten together for jam sessions (but they play all their guitars, not just the D-18GL).
Mine is #22. Too bad I can't play!
