There are few things to beat a Pre-War Martin in the world of acoustic guitars. There is a magic in the time and craftsmanship that yields an amazing guitar nearly every time. This is certainly a special one. It has incredible bottom end for a single 0 guitar and articulates every note with rich Brazilian Rosewood tone. This is an instrument that is not only sonically
impressive, but it will also impress visually with the 42-style appointments.
Repairs and modifications to keep this guitar in use include an old refinish, refret, a replaced nut and saddle, a bridge reglue with previous footprint, standard neck set, replaced bridge plate, and repaired top crack on bass side lower bout. None of these repairs take away from how incredible the guitar is, but they add to the longevity and playability of the instrument. Only 39 0-42 were produced by Martin in 1924!
Comes with a Custom splatter hardshell case ($1750) value.
