Description

From 1932, one of the rarest and most sought after Martin guitars in history. With Gibson becoming so popular with their Sunburst finish, Martin implemented their version of that finish calling it a 'Shaded' finish. While it became standard for the archtops they were making, they were only a factory orderable option on flattops and because of that there so few of them to have ever been ordered and shipped from the factory. Here is an opportunity to own a very important part in C.F. Martin & Co. history.

This guitar comes with the original hardshell case.
