Description

Cosmetic Condition:  Cool vintage vibe on a great sounding guitar!  Gorgeous patina & just the right look from a true vintage Martin.  This beautiful guitar was recently acquired from the family of the original owner who loved playing it.  There are various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & finish wear.  There is one very small crack, only about an inch long, in the treble-side waist that was professionally repaired by our luthier, who glued & cleated it.  The bridge was pulling up a just a little bit, so he re-glued that as well.  Overall the guitar has a great look to it & is lots of fun to play!

Neck:  V-shaped mahogany neck with cream side-dots.  Dark Brazilian rosewood fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays.  Frets show some light wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Kluson Deluxe tuners in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays great!

Body: Double-bound dreadnought body with solid spruce top & rosewood bridge.  Tortoise pickguard & multi-ring rosette.  Solid mahogany back & sides.  Bridge plate & all braces are original & in good condition.  No loose braces.

Playability / Sound:  Professionally set up by our luthier with a fresh set of light gauge Martin strings.  Nice, low action - plays like a brand new guitar!  Rich, punchy tone that is very loud & resonant.  Exactly what you want from a vintage Martin.

Case:  Original hardshell case included.
