Very infrequently, Martin would allow their employees to privately create "floorsweep" models made up from assorted extra parts, and this 00 from the late twenties is a fantastic, novel example of just such a guitar. Custom fretboard inlays and rear purfling, an ornate soundhole rosette, and a lack of logo on the headstock or any neck block stamp make this instrument a rare and elegant instrument indeed. An extensive repair history connoting a well-loved instrument, this 00 sounds fantastic - a larger and more refined sound than one might expect from a guitar with a smaller body. This is a chance to own an incredibly collectible and applicable piece of Martin history that is sure to turn heads. Includes non-original Martin 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.
