Martin 2-1/2 guitar, May 17, 1897, a fully restored vintage instrument. Solid spruce top, solid Rio rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard. Compact size with a 46 mm nut width, ideal for fingerstyle playing. Reinforced top and bracing for stability. The neck was previously repaired in a solid manner. Original bridge retained. In perfect playing condition, non-original case.

The instrument has undergone a complete overhaul by a luthier. The top and bracing have been reinforced to ensure durability. A previous repair to the neck, performed several decades ago, remains solid and does not affect playability. The original bridge has been retained, which enhances the instrument’s authenticity.

With over a century of history, this guitar retains all its musical capabilities and is in perfect working condition. It appeals to both collectors and musicians seeking an authentic vintage sound.
