This old Martin Parlor is a great example of the quality of guitars Martin has been putting out for almost two centuries now.  Besides the repairs and signs of age that come with a guitar this old, it truly is in fantastic condition.  Showing signs of a neck reset, a new bridge, crack and binding repairs, and a top over spray, it looks very clean for the amount of work that has been done.  The guitar is strung with Aquila Gut and Silk strings that offer a soft and chipper mid range sound on top of the gorgeous and very old tone woods.  The tuners work fabulously and the neck offers a comfortable ergonomic feel.  This guitar is certainly a joy to play and marvel upon.  Comes with a HSC.  
*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.
