1937 Martin C-2 (S/N 681XX) converted to a flat top style 000 by Steve Kovacik in 2011. Steve is a noted luthier and authorized Martin repair professional. Guitar is in MINT condition and the workmanship is flawless. 

Technical Specifications:
  • Original dark crack free Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Mahogany neck and bound ebony fretboard with "Long Pattern" diamond inlays have been retained.
  • New Adirondack spruce top exhibiting a tight straight grain showing medullary rays or "silking" in the grain.
  • "Shade Top" finish was applied by Dale Bartholomew, retired Martin finishing department foreman.
  • Top has 42/45 style abalone rosette with wood fiber purfling.
  • Top is bordered in herringbone and bound in ivoroid to match the original binding.
  • Pre-war 5/16" scalloped Adirondack forward shifted bracing. Hide glue used throughout the conversion.
  • Neck is a short scale (24.9") with a 1 3/4" nut. Guitar has been refretted.
  • New Waverly tuners, ebony belly bridge with long saddle.
  • Back, sides and neck have been oversprayed with nitrocellulose lacquer.
  • Action @ 12th fret: 7/64" low E, 5/64" high E.
Here's a chance to pick up a 80+ year old, pre-war, "Golden Era", 5 digit, BRW 000 for a fraction of what an all original one would set ya back. Heck, they get $8-$10K for a used BRW 000-28ECB.
Guitar will arrive at your doorstep, clean (no dust bunnies),with new strings in a near mint Silver Creek hard shell case from a smoke free environment.
