Yeah, if you were in the area we could go over and try 'em out Gene. I played a few of the 60's Martin's and I thought they were awesome. I always wanted a Martin...never got around to getting one. I have an Ibanez acoustic R-400 Ragtime Special. It does the trick...I suck pretty bad these days because I have not played much the last few years. Here's a photo of my R-400:

The 30's Martin may be a 1937 or 1938...the body of the guitar is on the small side...it's in nice shape though and it plays well. The action on the stings is not ridiculously high, which I guess you run into a lot on old Martins. I'm certainly no guitar expert...but I think the thing plays pretty sweet.
