Thanks for the responses. I bought this guitar used in ~ 1980 from a local shop in Greensboro, NC. Always wanted a Martin HD-28 in those days as I played alot of flatpicking and a bit of fingerstyle but could not afford one. Came across this used Taylor and was blown away with the sound and playability. If I remember correctly, it was around $450 which was a stretch for me at that time. Sold a banjo, Yamaha F-160, and Alverez 12 string at the time to be able to purchase. So glad I did. It's still in great shape, minus a few cosmetic character marks and I love how much the Engleman top has aged and opened over the years. Almost looks as dark as cedar at this point.
