**1914 Martin 0-21 Brazilian Rosewood – Vintage Martin Acoustic**

Up for sale is a beautiful **1914 Martin 0-21**, a rare and highly collectible vintage acoustic built during Martin's early years in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Featuring a gorgeous Brazilian rosewood back and sides paired with an Adirondack spruce top, this guitar has the kind of tone, craftsmanship, and character that only comes from more than a century of aging. The 0-21 is a small-bodied, 12-fret guitar that is lightweight, comfortable to play, and incredibly responsive. Its simple Style 21 appointments give it a timeless look while letting the beautiful Brazilian rosewood stand out.

**Specifications:**

Size 0, 12-fret body * Adirondack spruce top * Brazilian rosewood back and sides * Cedar neck * Ebony fingerboard and bridge * Original bar frets * Slotted headstock * 24.75" scale length * Approximately 1-7/8" nut width * Herringbone rosette and backstrip * Rosewood body binding * Made in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, USA

There is an old crack down the back left side with evidence of repair with wooden supports. Check the youtube link for a full walk around.

This guitar has a warm, rich voice with excellent clarity and surprising volume for its size. It excels for fingerstyle, blues, folk, and traditional music, with the kind of openness and responsiveness that made early Martins famous. As expected for a guitar that is over 110 years old, it shows honest vintage wear throughout, including finish checking and wear, scattered dings and scratches, edge wear, light impressions in the top and back, and other cosmetic signs of regular use accumulated over its lifetime. The guitar has aged gracefully and presents exactly as a well-loved pre-war Martin should, with the wear contributing to its authenticity, character, and vintage appeal. Whether you're a player, collector, or vintage guitar enthusiast, this 1914 Martin 0-21 is a wonderful opportunity to own a truly historic instrument featuring some of the finest Brazilian rosewood Martin ever used. Please reach out with any questions or for additional photos.
