This vintage Martin 00-42 acoustic guitar from 1921 remains in impressive condition even after 102 years. A limited run of only 12 models of this kind were produced by Martin in 1921. The guitar features an X-braced Adirondack spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides. Recently, our shop conducted a neck reset and installed a new period-correct pyramid bridge and saddle to ensure its optimal performance. This remarkable instrument is in Very Good Condition Plus (VGC+).
