Some of you may subscribe to Acoustic Guitar magazine and have read this but for the rest... The latest issue has an article about Joan Baez. In a small sidebar it talks about her guitar, originally a 1929 Martin 0-45. In the 90's Martin made a limited edition run of the guitar. Then from the article:
"When Martin took apart that 0-45 in the 1990s in order to study it, they discovered that a luthier who’d worked on the guitar years before left some hidden commentary inside: “Too bad you’re a Communist!” So the remakes include that handwritten inscription, too, which can be seen with an inspection mirror."
Still makes me chuckle reading that.
