I had my dream guitar built in the early nineties. It's a Custom Martin so it doesn't have a model number. It just says Custom on the internal heel.

It's essentially an HD 28 with a cutaway, scalloped bracing in the style of the 1940's Martins, oversized soundhole similar to the Clarence White models and a double herringbone rosette around the soundhole.

I gave it to my son about a year ago.

I ordered it through my old friend since passed Joe Dobbs at Fret 'n Fiddle. I asked Joe how much it would cost and he asked "how much can you afford to pay?" I told him I was selling my motorcycle to pay for it and what I expected to get for the bike.

He then told me that would be the price of the guitar. It was well below the price of even a regular HD 28, much less a custom job.
