What's old is now new again!

This wonderful reissue 000-42 Authentic is painstakingly modeled after a 1939 000-42 formerly owned and played by acoustic blues guitarist, Kenny Sultan, and now housed in the Martin Museum. (It's worth noting that Eric Clapton's famed 000-42 was also from 1939.) This model has all of the specs of the original with the exception of Madagascan rosewood in place of Brazilian. Martin also added a VTS Adirondack top to more closely mirror the broken-in tone of the original (just add another 80 years and you're there!).

The condition on this is close to flawless with very little evidence of prior ownership.
