Description

What a great guitar … this is an original Martin from the “Pre-War” period – model 2-17 made in 1930. Completely made of wonderful mahogany.

The Martin Pre-War guitars are legendary among steel string guitars. At that time Martin guitars were still built in limited numbers. For each instrument selected high-quality materials were used and each instrument was tuned and optimized individually (this stopped in the 40’s and 50’s).

This guitar sounds so wonderfully bluesy and would be a wonderful instrument for a Jazz/Blues guitarist. It has a great quality sound and produces a fabulous mature vintage tone with sweet highs clear mids and a fine bass. It is wonderfully balanced in sound and absolutely fun to play.

The condition is extremly good for a guitar of that age. It has no breaks, cracks or repairs and is in all original condition. The many signs of use and wear are only superficial and give this fantastic guitar a great vintage look.
It plays nice, with a low action and a straight neck (had a neck reset) – it is a lot of fun to play this cool guitar.
