We have been extremely fortunate recently to have two truly great pre-war Martins come in to the shop, both of which happen to be 00s. This is a 00-40H built from top shelf Brazilian Rosewood (good luck finding a set of Brazilian this nice these days) and a fine, tight-grained Adirondack Spruce top. The pre-war tone in full force here: this guitar is loud, with the mature complexity that you can’t find in a new guitar. Playing this guitar is all romance; it takes you back in time to that golden era–and this 00-40H plays incredibly smoothly. A proud survivor of the 80 years, this guitar has decades of music left in it, and let’s face it, they don’t make ’em like these anymore: you owe it to yourself to play this guitar before all of its brethren disappear.

We loved this one so much that we teamed up with Al Petteway and recorded it on our latest album: Dream Guitars Volume II Hand Picked, track #1, “I Don’t Want To Be Sad No More.”

This is it, the Holy Grail. All the magic you think about when you think about a pre war Martin is right here, from the voice, the look, and the extreme lightness of the guitar. This is perfection.
Such a beautiful guitar, this one has been converted to what would be considered a 00-42, I suppose. It's light as a feather and has some of the straightest and tightest grain Brazilian Rosewood on the back and sides that I've ever seen. That wood is just not available anymore. I liked it so much I recorded with it on our latest album!
