-Condition: This guitar has had some repair over the course iof its near-70-year life. It has been refinished, the bridge has been reglued, several cracks have been professionally repaired in the top, back, & sides, divots in the fretboard have been filled, the back was removed and re-attached (before the refinish), and a strap button has been added. Additionally, the pickguard and bridge pins are non-original. All of the work looks professionally done. This guitar rings like a bell and feels rock solid. It is a fantastic opportunity to get into a vintage Martin with Brazilian for less than a vintage D-28.

 

The guitar will be packaged with utmost care and shipped in a non-original hardshell case. Please reach out if you have anyb additional questions.
