What an awesome player 1929 Martin 00-18. The Mahogany and Adirondack body makes for that classic Martin 00 tone, robust and energetic with a great growl! This pre-war Martin has several repairs, see condition on the specs tab, but everyone who plays it is delighted. It’s the real-deal Martin voice at a player price. Don’t miss it, this won’t last.

In the 1930s Martin created the instruments that are now the models for superb tone and the ‘American’ guitar sound. We are simply thrilled to offer this pre-war 1934 000-28H masterfully converted by famed luthier T.J. Thompson and recently inspected & fined tuned by luthier Bill Tippin. A voice this complete and fulfilling can be attributed not only to father time but to the superb tight grained Brazilian Rosewood and silky Spruce top. The condition is wonderful and playability is absolutely perfect. This is certainly a Dream Guitar…

Here is a super clean and rare 1930 Martin 0-18K, all Koa. This one is particularly unique in that the Koa is highly figured, something you don’t see on many 18 models. This little sweetheart has a voice that will melt you, it’s rich and lively and it’s super responsive. It’s a very lightweight 0-18K and you feel every note you play in your arms and chest. It has the characteristic dry, woody sound you would expect from a 1930 Martin, but this one has a bit of extra mojo as well. It’s very full and rich sounding for a small body guitar. We love it!

Here’s an all original 1958 Martin D-21 Dreadnought with amazing tone. This crack-free and well maintained D-21 features stunning Brazilian Rosewood with lovely figure and deep, dark color. The Sitka top has a gorgeous patina that is echoed in the beautiful tone of this one. The sound roars and is full and rich. It’s been perfectly maintained so the playability is perfect and there is plenty of saddle, frets are great, etc. It’s ready to play!

In 1928 Mickey Mouse debut’s in Steamboat Willie, Amelia Earhart crosses the Atlantic Ocean, Hoover becomes the U.S. President and this Martin 0-18K Guitar was born. This vintage Martin 0-18K, in all-Koa, was crafted by C.F. Martin and Company and, according to the hand written note inside, given ‘To Ruth from Pop’. It’s great to see the personal history of this beautiful prewar Martin Guitar. The top, back and sides are all beautiful Koa wood and this guitar is full of energy. It’s one of those that was braced lightly so that it fills the air with boisterous notes. It’s a superb blues and rag guitar thanks to it’s very strong voice. It’s in very good condition, has modern frets, so it plays great and is solid throughout. Here’s a wonderful Martin from 1928 that can be your piece of guitar history.

Here we have a rare find, a 1966 Martin D-35 retopped in 1995 by none other than Wayne Henderson. The D-35 had some of the straight grain dark Brazilian we all long for and Wayne scallop braced a master grade Sitka top as only he can do. This soundboard is just full of medullary rays (silking) and sounds nothing short of amazing. All of this adds up to a ’66 Martin D-35 that we would put up against most any 40s or 50s D-28 on the planet. This guitar roars! The trebles are super strong and clear and the bass pounds your chest. Want the sound everyone dreams? This is it!
