Martin built some of their finest instruments in the 1950s—a sweet spot when skilled labor had returned after WWII, premium tonewoods like Brazilian rosewood were still accessible, and production hadn’t yet ramped up in response to the folk boom. The Style 21 sits between the 18 and 28 series, offering the tonal richness of Brazilian rosewood paired with a more understated, elegant aesthetic.

This example stands out for its superb sound and responsiveness, further supported by a handful of well-executed repairs noted in the Specs tab. Comes with a Victoria Luggage Inc. hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
