The Martin Reverb Select 0012-42 Conversion is truly a blast from the past - a guitar that's as much a story as it is an instrument. Picture this: a 12-fret beauty straight out of 1930, with a cozy 00 body size, and the lush warmth of coveted Brazilian rosewood wrapping around its back and sides. Now, here's where the plot thickens: this guitar had a rough start, arriving at the factory with a damaged top. But fear not, because what came next is pure magic.
Our team rolled up their sleeves and got to work, breathing new life into this vintage gem. They refreshed the fingerboard, adding vintage-style bar frets, and swapped out the beat-up top with a premium piece of Adirondack spruce, blinged out with 42-style pearl. And let's talk about that finish - it's got that old-school gloss found on our Authentic Series instruments that'll make you feel like you're truly holding a piece of music history. While retaining its original block and serial number (44174), every inch exudes the allure of a bygone era, complete with the original slotted headstock, neck, back, sides, and ebony truss rod intact.
But here's the kicker: this isn't just any old refurbished guitar. Nope, this 1930 0012-42 Conversion comes with a lifetime warranty, making it the only pre-war, Depression-era Martin that'll have your back for the long haul. And when we say it plays like it just rolled out of our North Street factory, we mean it. Perfect for fingerstyle playing, it's smooth sailing from the first pluck. Plus, it comes with the original damaged top displayed in a shadowbox, and signatures from all the Martin maestros who brought it back to life.
For instruments sold with a value greater than $25,000 we offer the customer the option of transferring the in-transit (shipping) risk to C.F. Martin. To do this we require the customer to sign and acknowledge the transfer of risk while in shipment from themselves to us for insurance purposes.
