Up for sale is an incredible 1952 Martin 00-17. Here’s the video demo:

All mahogany construction, no cracks except for a couple in one area on the back – this area is supposed to have received a bit of finish touchup, but I can’t really see it. Otherwise, the beautiful finish is entirely original. The neck has been reset, the tuners replaced, and a pickup removed. This guitar is in amazing condition for its age, though. 1 11/16” nut width.
It sounds massive – I couldn’t believe it when I first strummed it. One of the best smaller-body Martins I’ve played. It works wonderfully for fingerstyle but also handles a flatpick very well.
Asking $3,100 + shipping. No trades, please.
