Prewar sweetie on the scene! 1943, folks, a 1943 Martin 000-28 available at your local Dream. This grade of old school Brazilian Rosewood is the real deal, as is the Adirondack Spruce top. The voice is precise and wide open at the same time, equally at home with flatpicking and fingers. The neck has some gorgeous finish checks that feel intimate and familiar in hand. Setup is dialed right in to boot. This is one we keep finding ourselves losing track of time with. It’s been cared for over the years, and all relevant repairs have been performed to keep it in peak playing condition.

Here’s a real deal prewar voice in a beautifully restored Martin 000 from 1943. The sound just fills the room and has the guitar practically bouncing off of your lap with the energy. This one plays great and all of the repair work was done beautifully, making this a prewar holy grail guitar that plays better than most you’ll find anywhere. A real gem.
