Hi everyone today is the greatest ever! My uncle Tucker Brown from Omaha who used to live in Vancover Wa,
gave me his Martin D-16 H 92 serial # 518567. Now two weeks ago at a family reunion we played some guitar, he said you're at the point where you get serious about guitar or stay where you're at? I'm 48 years young started playing at 12. I took a couple days and thought about it, he came to my city for his B-day. Didn't know he was going to give me this absolute treasure of a guitar. I said Tuck, I'm ready to get serious. I knew that smiling at me he said, Tucker turned went to his truck with the hood broken & tied down by rope, He said that's why I brought you this he grabed the big beauitful black case with the Martin & Co branded into it & handed it to me. He doesnt have much and was delt a real rough hand in life, what he could of sold this for would of done him alot of good. I've had my heart set on a used D-45. I adore this man, this guitar was one of his prised possessions, because this guitar is his & he's been my idle since knee high, it's truly the holy grail to me. I no longer want the D-45 LOL. This guitar hasn't been played for 9 years. The strings haven't been changed all that time. I swear it sounds better then my Martin DCX1RE with brand new strings. Thank you, thank you, thank you a billion trillion besides your brother you're the greatest man I've ever been blessed to know.
God bless you Tuck.
I LOVE YOU uncle Tucker.

Music and instruments are meant to be passed along and shared. The guitar meant a lot to him I'm sure and you must mean a lot to him, too. Enjoy it and when the time comes, you pass it along.
