Description
Nice pre-war Martin 0-15 1943 – it plays perfectly and sounds tremendously good.
C. F. Martin 0-15 Model Flat Top Acoustic Guitar (1943), made in Nazareth (Pennsylvania) natural lacquer finish, mahogany body and neck, rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
This is a superb playing and sounding pre-war Martin 0-15 with a very powerful sound for a small body all-mahogany guitar.
This 0-15 was built in 1943, by which time the 14-fret version of the model was still a fairly recent development that had already proved a very popular design.
While the 0-15 is plain in appearance and stood near the bottom of the Martin guitar line, it is still built of very high-grade materials to the highest standards.
Then as now 0-15 is a fully professional-quality instrument, extremely responsive with a rich, singing tone.
This guitar shows some wear and has received a few small repairs. The bridge has been reglued and repaired too. It’s a lovely example, far cleaner than many of these depression era workingman’s guitars.
It has received a neck reset and plays extremly nice with a low action and a straight neck.
This guitar really has a stellar sound. We love these small-body mahogany Martins but the pre-war examples are truly extraordinary guitars, and this is a well better-than-average example.
It comes with the original Martin case.
