1951 C.F. Martin 00-21
Goodness, it seems that all of these early Martins are becoming increasingly diffiuclt to source and in some lanes, they are definately priced at eye watering amounts but we always try to keep that in control and offer the best value we can to our players. /thsi beauty has come to us privately from a lovely chap who played it left handed after creating a bridge what fit the original slot but had a superstructure over it that intoned it left handed. It blew me away when I saw that. This gem from the early 50's has possibly the best voice of any 00-21 that I've owned post war. It's magical in it's saturation of colorful harmonics and the warmth of it's voice. Lovely braz. tonewoods and great patination over all. There is a very characterful opaque glaze added to the neck, obviously to improve playability sometime in the 60's most likely but she's all original and a truly great guitar. So rare to find anywhere.
