Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of original (pre-war) Martin D-45s
as explained above, these ''are'' like Stradivariuses of the guitar world. Not quite literally, but certainly enough to pass . Adding on, from Fretboard Journal (in the December 2013 issue article https://www.fretboardjournal.com/columns/catch-day-1941-martin-d-45 Catch of the Day: 1941 Martin D-45) (emphasis added): “'''As most guitar geeks know''', Martin only made 91 prewar D-45s, which makes this instrument a very rare bird, indeed.” This is an assertion in a notable publication that the ''exact number'' of prewar D-45s is well known among guitar enthusiasts! This is a rare and well known historical set of acoustic instruments, this page list certainly has encyclopedic value as it details that set
