Not sure if this is worth anything or not. Thoughts, anyone? It's got a bowed neck and some surface scratches.

I'm not sure, it depends how much the neck is bowed. But it doesn't look badly bowed, so there's a good chance you could rectify/minimise the effect of that once you acquired it. Also, not sure what this guitar retails at in the US off the top of my head, but a genuine Martin for $100 would have me seriously interested given UK guitar costs. Check retail prices and decide if its a risk worth taking.

Ra Er Ga.

That's just it. I can't find anything on a Martin D20.

$100 for a Martin? I'd roll the dice if it was local. Worst case you'd end up flipping it to another low-roller like me! :D

At worst, if the neck's really badly, irreparably bowed, you've got a cheap Martin acoustic lap steel!

Good points, everyone. Like Ric said, if it sucks, I can use for a lapper. I sent him an email. Will see if he responds.

It is a small world for metal fanatics. I welcome you fellow musicians, especially the metalheads!
