Watchtower Guitars is excited to offer our clients a special collection of vintage and premier acoustic guitar builders, mandolins, banjos and other fine instruments.  This collection was put together over the last fifty years and has some standout pieces that just don't come up for sale often.  We've had this collection vetted by an expert in the vintage acoustic world.  Please contact the shop directly by phone for any in hand descriptions.

Here we have a beautiful 163 year old instrument made by C.F. Martin in Nazareth, PA with a C.F. Martin/New York brand, model 1-21, c.1860.

12-fret neck, 12-7/8" lower bout width.

Some pick wear, as you can see.

Fingerboard dots would have been added after production.

Overall very good condition. 

Please contact the shop should you have any questions!
