Description

A rare and discontinued trim, the style "30" was between the herringbone "28" and Pearl "42". This 1908 Martin 0-30 has multi-colored weave trim around the top and an abalone rosette ring. The snowflake and diamond inlays are a mixture of the 28 and 42 inlays. This small bodied example, a normal size for the time frame, sounds incredible thanks to its lightweight X-bracing. It has a new maple bridge plate that allows it to have silk and steel strings; and be very loud. The comfortable size makes it ideal for a songwriting couch guitar.

Comes in 1980s Martin Hardshell Case.
