We’ve got another fine addition to our Martin family in the store today: a 1954 Martin 000-21 in Brazilian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce! This vintage Martin has a nice, fat voice and a warm, woody tone that’s completely opened up. The 000 body provides a tight articulation across the registers, and that Brazilian Rosewood back and sides gives the guitar some great projection, making it an excellent choice for more rockin styles of music or Appalachian Trad. Flatpicked, this guitar’s got plenty of bark to go around, and the narrow nut/saddle allows for easy playing. Thanks to the 14 fret neck, the tone is a bit darker than other 000’s, and has more low-end to boast about. This Martin has been making music for 60 years, most recently with four time Grammy award-winner David Holt, it’s present owner, and it’s ready for more.

Nothing quite sounds like a vintage Martin that's fully opened up. This 000-21 has enough woody, energetic tone to share, and it's in great shape for a sixty-year-old.
A classic guitar, basically a 000-28 with 000-18 trim. The Brazilian rosewood on this guitar is really unique. These necks have a great feel, especially if you like the narrower width.
