Brazilian Rosewood Martin guitars have been appreciating as fast as anything in the guitar market and it won't be long before the small body guitars catch up. Right now they are still a great value as this beauty proves. This 00 features a gorgeous set of Brazilian and has been maintained well. The neck has been set perfectly and the few cracks expertly repaired. It has all the small body charm and plenty of power as well. Playability is great and it sure is a joy to hold this little terror. A great part of Martin history this is one for both the player and the collector in you.

Player Reviews:
"I love small body guitars for their power, clarity and balance. With those attributes you can go a lot of places musically speaking. This guitar excels at blues, folk, rag and old time and its size makes it a perfect musical partner to keep close at hand. It's also quite collectible, this is the last year of the tortoise guard and these 00 Martins have not yet shot up like their larger bodied brothers. A great and classic Martin guitar." - Paul Heumiller
"This is one of my favorite Martin models. After 1966 they went to a black pickguard and after 1970 they switched to Indian Rosewood, so this is a real gem and the last of an era." - Al Petteway
