Man that's an oops.
I hear insurance paid out for the purchase price. I guess there's a possibility the movie proceeds will cover the rest. -Maybe-
CF Martin got a lot of free press out of it - that's worth something. I know its a niche industry, but still its free press.

Agreed - Accident or not.
Hell, the movie got some free press.
Seems the remains would be of value to someone willing to pay a high price... :wwe:

I believe that the guitar that was destroyed in the movie was an actual 1800s Martin.

It was and I shed no tears for Martin. They had repos on set and the original got smashed accidentally. Why the fuck would they allow a 1870 Martin in the snowy mountains of Colorado in the first place? Once the Repos were made the 1870 should have gone back to the Martin Museum.

Hindsight is 20/20.
We'll never know the whole story, like terms of the loan. I assume it would be stipulated reasonable care (like humidification) would be agreed upon.

The only redeeming part of this story is Snake Plissken is the one that destroyed the guitar.
