1949 Martin 0-15

The photos here show white bridge pins with black dots, which have since been changed to NOS plain white pins, as Martin used originally. Neck reset and new frets by Gryphon repair shop, original pickguard (still flat!), bridge, and tuners. Exceptionally clean original finish, including the neck. There are a few dents and scratches to the back, however. This example has an amazing deep tone, and thanks to the neck work it plays like a new guitar. Hardshell cases for 0 size guitars are hard to find, so we put it in a "Geib-style" TKL case that sells for over $200. We think this 0-15 deserves it. There's a great photo of (young) Woody Guthrie playing an 0-15 like this one, so if you're a songwriter perhaps there's special inspiration in an old all-mahogany Martin that has survived over half a century and still looks like new.
