Details
A very clean M-36 from the third year of this model's production. Exceptionally clean with original finish and parts throughout. The only change has been repair to the center seam of the top below the bridge (this wasn't a crack in the spruce top, rather a failure of the glue joint holding the two halves of the book-matched top together and since several top braces reinforce that seam it was never in danger). Previous owner upgraded the case to a Martin-badged TKL Vintage Series. The guitar how has Martin bridge pins and end pin with pearl dot, but the original pins are in the case. Note the highly figured East Indian rosewood outer wings of the 3-piece back, a nice touch. You won't find a cleaner early version of this model!
