Interesting video about Jerry Kennedy's long-lost Martin 00-18.

One of the albums Jerry produced for Roger Miller was 1970's "A Trip In The Country," a Buddy Emmons E9 (mostly) tour de force.

Nice find Frank - I’ve been a fan of Jerry Kennedy and his son Gordon for many years.
Historically taking a vintage Martin like that and giving it a complete renewal job is considered sacrilege, but the guitar had really been through the ringer in its 70+ years of existence and it needed it.
They really know their stuff at Martin - you don’t stay in business for 189 years by accident.
