Well, I did it; each year for the last 5 or 6 years I have succeeded in purchasing one guitar before the year is out, and I just won on Ebay a 1964 Mark IV. This is the one with spruce top, and PEARWOOD back and sides.
This guitar was made in Hoboken, NJ, and I am looking forward to gettting it. Another reason for this purchase, besides the price, is that 1964 is the year I started playing guitar.
Got a good deal on it, I hope ($243, plus shipping), and now I want to hear from others who own any of the Mark series classical guitars, especially from this period.
Also, any Guild Mark sightings out there? Did anybody in the professional world use these guitars? I have yet to see one in the hands of any pros.
I know no other info on the Mark Series, other than what I read in Hans' book.
