This 1958 Martin 0-15 is relatively issue-free; and it would make a great first vintage guitar for anyone who's been eager to explore the world of old Martins. It excels as a fingerpicker, given its size, but it's stout enough to handle old-time flatpicking and rhythm playing. And who can pick one of these up nowadays without thinking of Mr. Pattengale and the way he uses an 0-15 to complement a J-45? Condition: we'd rate it very good overall. Our shop has performed a new neck set; and the guitar plays beautifully. One tuner has been replaced long ago, but all other structural components are original to the guitar. No further work is required at this time. The guitar is priced with a 1970's Martin hard case.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
