1927 Vintage C.F. Martin 00-21 Brazilian Rosewood Acoustic Guitar

Made in USA

This is a very rare small bodied Martin guitar in remarkable condition.  Although this guitar is over 90 years old, it has no cracks (repaired or otherwise).  There is one expertly repaired patch in the treble-side lower bout and three small filled holes above the endpin where a tailpiece may have been installed at one time.  It is Brazilian rosewood with an Adirondack (red) spruce top, mahogany neck with slotted headstock, ebony pyramid bridge, ebony fretboard, bar frets, bone nut and saddle.  The nut width is 1-3/4” and the scale length is 24.9”.  Four snowflake inlays were added to the fingerboard.  It was professionally refinished.  It is a superb sounding guitar, open with a quick response.  The tone is warm and well balanced–what you would expect from a guitar of this vintage. A hardshell case is included
