Martin 000-21 1947 Acoustic Guitar – A Rare Post-War Tone Machine with Extraordinary Character

This Martin 000-21 1947 Acoustic Guitar is the real deal — a true player’s guitar with a voice unlike anything you’ve ever heard. A rare post-war treasure, full of maturity, richness, and that haunting vintage presence that only decades of music can create.

C.F. Martin & Co. has been building world-class acoustic guitars for more than a century, played by countless artists on stage and in the studio. Among their designs, the 000-21 stands out with its elegant auditorium body shape and superb tonal balance.

This 1947 example features classic, premium tonewoods from Martin’s golden era:

  • Top: Sitka spruce

  • Back & sides: rosewood

  • Neck: Mahogany

  • Fingerboard & bridge: Ebony

These tonewoods are no longer available from Martin today, making the guitar historically significant and highly desirable. The combination of Sitka spruce and rosewood creates a sound that is warm, rich, and incredibly responsive, with sparkling clarity even when played hard.

This is one of those guitars that proves the old saying:
“To play it is to want to own it.”

The sound is everything you hope for in a vintage Martin:

  • Warm, lush rosewood overtones

  • A resonant and open midrange

  • Sparkling highs with clarity and definition

  • A wonderfully full, mature voice that inspires from the very first note

This is truly a guitar you will not forget.

This Martin 000-21 1947 Acoustic Guitar is a player’s grade vintage instrument with repairs and modifications, fully stable and professionally serviced. As such, it is offered far below the usual market price for a Brazilian rosewood 000-21 of this era.

Condition notes include:

  • New tuners

  • Refinished in the past

  • Several crack repairs, all clean and stable

  • Neck reset professionally completed

  • Excellent playability with low action

    • 2.4 mm (E string)

    • 1.7 mm (e string) at the 12th fret

  • Fully checked and approved by our luthier

Despite its player-grade status, the guitar is structurally sound, perfectly playable, and exceptionally musical — a wonderful opportunity to own a post-war Brazilian Martin at a fraction of the usual price.

The guitar comes with its original case (handle missing).
