Extremely rare 1860 Martin 2-21, from the highly sought-after Martin New York period (before the New York & Co. era). This size 2 model is immediately captivating, with its spruce top, beautifully figured Brazilian rosewood back and sides, extreme lightness (1 kg), and timeless elegance, enhanced by the famous herringbone binding surrounding both the rosette and the body.
But beyond its rarity and exceptional playability for a guitar over 160 years old, this instrument stands out for its extraordinary tone: a voice of great finesse, open, precise, and surprisingly rich, with the charm, response, and musicality that only the finest 19th-century Martins can offer.
Sold with its original coffin case, its magnificent period interior lining, and coming from a private collection, this is an extremely desirable piece for collectors, investors, musicians, or lovers of historic Martin guitars.
