This incredibly cool Martin 0-17T sports the full-body sunburst finish seen on some of the company's all-Mahogany guitars between 1932-1934. It's a lovely sounding example of the model, in all-original condition. Anyone interested in a vintage Martin tenor might want to consider acquiring this one on looks alone! Condition: all original, and "excellent" for a 1930's Martin. There are no unsightly blemishes or previous repair work to speak of. The guitar is priced with a Collings-branded TKL case. On consignment; shipping calculated at checkout.
Condition: Vintage. Fully inspected and set up by TME staff before it ships or leaves the showroom.
