Case: Hardshell Case

Year: 1965

S/N: 212204

Top Wood: Sitka Spruce

Back and Sides: Brazilian Rosewood

Cosmetic Condition: Guitar is in very good condition for its age.  It has a good amount of finish checking on the front and back.  There is an area on the back that has some deeper scratching.  Plenty of small dings and scratches throughout the entire guitar as well.

Tech Notes: Looks incredible for the age.  A slight body deflection is normal, and it appears to have had a refret, a neck reset, and bridge reglue at some point.  There is plenty of saddle left for adjustment and the neck relief is perfectly set near flat with no adjustable truss rod; it is as good as it gets.  The action is set to medium/low (Martin spec) with 12-54 Martin 2.0 Lifespan strings.  No obvious cleats or repairs based on an internal inspection.  A small crack was repaired near the replacement pickguard.  Such a crack is pretty normal from a shrinking pickguard and seems to be structurally repaired well.  Additionally, there may have been a crack on the top behind the bridge which was repaired as well; there is no flex or light that passes through it.  Tuners appear original.  The bridge pins and saddle are replacements of high quality.  The nut may have been replaced.  If so, it is an extremely well made replacement.  All repairs appear to be of very high quality.  Black light shows no finish correction.
