Description

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.
