Description

A real dream guitar is this beautiful Martin 000-21 1953 – very balanced and with a warm and clear vintage voice!

Among the unmissable creations put out there by the venerable manufacturer from Nazareth, few guitars have been so adored and copied as the 000-model.

The 000 shape with fourteen off-body frets, with its very pronounced size and unsettling curves, has become the standard alternative for guitarists who choose not to go with the Dreadnought. Its smaller size makes it a much more comfortable guitar for players who are not as big as a cowboy, and its texture is less loaded in the bass notes for a more balanced sound. Since it was first created, it has constantly inspired other brands and established the yardstick for the all-purpose guitar, from Paul Simon’s fingerpicking to Eric Clapton’s blues.

This guitar has beautiful rosewood back and sides and a fine spruce top. It has a nut width of 43 mm. The action is at 2.3 mm E and 1.7 mm e at the 12th fret. The saddle of the bridge still has room for further adjustments.

This guitar is in good condition, but has a few repairs. The bridge and the tuners are newer ones. The guitar had a neck reset and plays great. Our luthier has checked everything and the guitar is ready to go.

This guitar really stands out as a very fine example of the timeless quality of instruments built by Martin. With a warm and clear voice, strong fundamental presence, amazingly even string balance and classic Martin focus, this early post-war 000-21 is a wonderful fingerstyle guitar, and a great choice for the recording studio.

It comes with a newer Martin case.
