Add to Compare1930 Martin 000-45, Brazilian Rosewood/Adirondack Spruce
This guitar is the stuff of legends, the original Holy Grail against which contemporary guitars are measured. A 1930 Martin 000-45: the tone, playability, and appointments that made Martin Guitars the industry standard are here represented in an amazingly well-preserved form. This 000-45 is all original (down to the cast iron key for the case)–really, the odds of you coming across another 1930 000-45 in this condition are incredibly small. After all only 21 were made in 1930. This particular 000-45 is historically significant also as it’s a 12-fret that has the belly bridge. Both are design features that offer optimum tone, this one just about jumps out of your lap.
Moreover, this Martin plays as easy as glass, after a neck reset performed by our repair gurus, so it’s as easy as breathing to excite these strings and let the past 86 years of good vibrations come pouring out of the soundhole. How such a guitar could still be in such excellent condition, we don’t know–but we’re glad this piece of history has been spared the vagaries of time, and continues to sing as easily as in 1930.

What a delightful example of Michi Matsuda’s early work! Cedar and Mahogany are the ingredients for this 2003 M1. You can see a sneak peak into the development of Michihiro’s craft.

This instrument has recently had the French polished top refreshed by G.V. Rubio himself, so it is ready for years and years of more play time.
