I came close to loosing my Martin OM28V to a pawn shop once. I was down and out and had to pawn it for some cash. They only loaned me 400 on it and it lists for 3700 on the Martin website. I only paid 2K for it but sill. Anyway, when the time came to pick it up I was short on the cash but managed to scrape up just enough to get it back.
