A guitar that is over 160 years old and yet, still a viable instrument today and doesn't look much different than many Martin's made today... The guitar plays fairly well and sounds decent. More of a sweet sound versus the projection of later golden era Martin's. Still a useful instrument for certain sounds. This particular example blends a few different styles of Martin: De Goni, Ivory soundhole, approximately 1856-1858, Zig zag back, mix and match purflings. Comes with hardshell case.

There are multiple repaired cracks but structurally it’s all there. One crack on top needs repair. The action is reasonably playable but in today’s terms it’s in neck reset territory. It’s a historical piece so we opted to keep it in its current state. It also has an ancient bridge setting technique repair that has metal rods going through the bridge to the bottom of the guitar. The tuners are very unique and high end brass type from the period. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc_text\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeck measurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88”\/0.94” at 1st\/8th frets\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"desc_text\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFast WORLDWIDE Shipping Available!
