Martin 2-21 (1911)
Vintage
This lovely little 1911 Martin 2-21 would make a great addition to the collection of a guitarist desiring a pre-steel string Martin flattop for fingerstyle playing.
Our consigning client has owned the guitar for the last 25 years or so. When it was acquired, the bridge was reglued and two minor back cracks were repaired as well. Aside from those fixes, it appears no other work has ever been done to the guitar, which remains in excellent original condition with just minor playwear near the treble edge of the fingerboard extension. The tone is warm and shimmery at once, with surprising robustness for such a small guitar. Price includes contemporary hard case.| Top | Red (Adirondack) Spruce |
