The Martin D-21 model is akin to a D-18 in binding aesthetics, but features Brazilian Rosewood where mahogany would typically be. Inch per inch, it's the model boasting the most Brazilian Rosewood. This example is in excellent playing condition, albeit with some necessary repairs and modifications from years of use. It boasts a replacement bridge, with the original included in the case. The pickguard and pins have been replaced. It showcases several cracks that have been expertly glued and secured, along with a maple cap on the bridge plate. Additionally, this guitar has an added strap pin at the heel and an LR Baggs Lyric pickup, making it more versatile!

HSC included.
