The guitars in the film were far from authentic. One instrument in particular stands out: a classic pre-war Martin D-45 (manufactured between 1933 and 1942), which, by the number of frets, appears to be from 1937 or 1938. Played in this film by Bob Nolan of the Sons of the Pioneers, the D-45 is lavishly inlaid with abalone shell on all edges, front and back, plus around the soundhole. When new, it sold for a price fifty percent higher than a brand new car. As such, it would have been far out of reach for a lowly enlisted cavalryman, even if they had been available in the 1870's. The current new street price is a much more "reasonable" $8,659.00. A pre-war D-45 can sell for $250,000.
