Am on holiday in Canada from UK next year, Don’t want a guitarless fortnight! Don’t like the Martin backpacker. Would love Ovation trekker but seem to be unavailable in UK, possibly out of production in US.

What are the most collectable vintage Martin’s?
The best can be summed up as follows: Twelve and fourteen fret steel string models from the mid 1920’s to 1944 are the most collectible of all Martin instruments. Some musicians prefer the sound and feel of 12 fret models, and these are close in value to 14 fret models of the same size and period. They have excellent craftsmenship, sound, and playability, and these model are of great interest to collectors and players.
Many believe that the larger size 14 fret 000 and “D” sizes from the 1930’s represent the golden era of the flat top Martin. Note war-time models (1941 to 1944) aren’t quite as desirable as the 1930’s models. Lack of materials, manpower, and general social uncertainty during the war contributed to this.
