A rare 1923 Martin 0-21 pre-war acoustic. Serial #10818. A definitive model from a builder that needs no introduction, this instrument features silk and steel strings and has back and sides constructed of Brazilian rosewood.

Martin has not made Brazilian rosewood guitars like this since the late 1960’s. Brazilian rosewood, when used on guitar backs and sides, creates a strong, lovely tone. Production of this particular model stopped in 1948. The neck has a quintessential '20s Martin V shaped profile with fairly slender shoulders. Fair condition. There is a crack running from the bridge to the bottom of the guitar, some light scratches, and some bubbling of the varnish on one spot on the top. Otherwise good condition.

This lot includes a black guitar case.

Fair condition.
