James,
Do you know who has that Martin now?

It's hard to say which guitar Keith Whitley used on the "Katy Daley" album.
I've seen photos of Keith playing a D-41 Martin during his very early days with
Ralph, however he is holding a D-28 on the cover of the Jalyn album "A
Tribute To The Stanley Brothers" that he did with Ricky Skaggs and also in the photo
on the back of the "Katy Daley" album. At some point he sold the D-28 to Roy
Lee Centers. After Keith took over as lead singer following Roy Lee's death,
he bought a 1944 D-28 herringbone from Lester Flatt. Keith owned this guitar
until he died and played it in his "When You Say Nothing At All" video. I saw
him play this guitar several times with both Ralph and J.D. Crowe.
