Peter Fonda's '44 Martin D-18 from Outlaw Blues
<B>Peter Fonda's Autographed '44 Martin D-18 From "Outlaw Blues."</B></I> After being featured prominently throughout the film <I>Outlaw Blues,</B></I> this classic Martin D-18 stayed in Peter's personal collection for 30 years. The case is covered with press pass stickers for the <I>Outlaw Blues</B></I> premiere, as well as two backstage pass stickers for the Crosby, Stills & Nash 1977 summer tour. Based on the character of the case and guitar, it is safe to say that this instrument has seen a lot of entertainment history at the actor's side. It is signed in black across the spruce top, which also bears the evidence of years of use in Peter's hands. The mahogany back and sides also show signs of heavy use by Fonda, while the ebony fingerboard is suprisingly clean for a guitar of this vintage. Its serial number (90110) and heavy bracings inside the body show that it is of late 1944 production. A beautiful and classic instrument, serial number 90110 (D-18). <B>Condition Report:</B> Heavy wear on body of guitar. No wood cracks, solid neck joint.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Recordings (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
