Final random bit: Clarence White made his first television appearance playing a mysterious Martin D-28 on the Andy Griffith Show.



Nine-year-old bluegrass player, Tony Rice met sixteen-year-old Clarence backstage at a Southern California gig in 1960, They talked about the beat up guitar and Tony fell in love with it.

Here's the cool story how Tony Rice came into possession of the mythical #58957. Nobody had any clue just how magical the bastardized guitar was until Rice mastered the skills to let it do its stuff.
