Beautiful post-war 1947 Martin 000-21 with all the tone and character you want from a seasoned vintage piece. This one has that dry, open, woody voice—clear, balanced, and incredibly responsive. Fingerstyle players especially will love the articulation and warmth, but it also handles light strumming with ease.
Condition & Work Done:
Top cracks professionally repaired and stable (adds to the mojo, structurally solid)
No cracks on back or sides
Neck reset completed – plays effortlessly with great action
Refret done – smooth and clean across the board
Original bridge plate intact
Period-correct replacement bridge
Structurally excellent and ready to gig or record
Tone:
Classic old-growth Brazilian rosewood back and sides—deep, rich lows, sweet trebles, and that airy midrange these are known for. Mature, broken-in sound you simply can’t replicate with newer guitars.
Why this one:
If you’re looking for a collector-grade case queen, this isn’t it. But if you want a true player’s vintage Martin with real tone, this is exactly where the value is. All the important work is already done—just pick it up and enjoy.
Overall:
Honest, vibey, and dialed-in. A fantastic opportunity to get into a pre-1950s Brazilian rosewood Martin without paying top collector prices.
