Martin 00-21 NY 1965 Natural

The Martin 00-21NY is as close as the 1960's Martin company got to making a 1920's guitar. The "folk boom" of the late '50's made the old-style 12-fret Martins fashionable among discerning traditional players, and several so-called "New York' models were officially added to the line in 1962. These were named to honor both the Martin company's original roots in that city and the strength and influence of the contemporary Greenwich Village folk scene. With lighter bracing, no pickguard and an older style 12-fret neck with wide fingerboard, no markers and a slotted headstock these were nearly identical in look and feel to their 1920's ancestors.

This guitar has been well perserved and contains some of the most beautiful Brazilian Rosewood I have ever seen. I have seen 00-16NY models sell for more than what I am asking for this 00-21NY. Whether your a collector and/or a player, this is without a doubt one of the finest 12 frets every made. More pictures are available upon request.
