Default Guess The Guitar REVEALED.

Let's have some fun. There's an interesting story behind this guitar.

RoccoRob was the closest. It's a 1990 000-16

Hard to say Toby...from the front it looks like a 000-18 but the fretboard inlays are more indicative of a rosewood 000. No herringbone so maybe a 000-21?

It's definitely a wooden guitar, so that's a start.

Outside of that, no clue!

1943 Martin 000-21, I think they went to dot fret inlays on those in 1945

Toby, good to see you on the AGF!

I'm not going to be fooled by the pick-guard. Martin has been know to put different pick-guards on some OM's. I say that it's a 1951 OM-21.
