A vintage Martin 2-17 made in 1930, serial number 42944 in very good condition, show it’s been well cared for. This pre-war Martin 12 fret parlor guitar has an all mahogany body and neck, with its original Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, frets and pyramid bridge with a bone thru saddle.

-Tons of room on the saddle

-No cracks on the top, the guitar is in very stable condition. 

-Inside the body it looks like new.

-Comes with original vintage case
