1912 Martin Style 00 Mandolin
Serial #3508. How I wish all 94 year old Martins were in this kind of condition! This Mandolin is nearly perfect, with only the slightest signs of wear to the finish. Better still, it is perfectly playable! 9 Brazilian rosewood ribs, spruce top, bar-fretted ebony fingerboard with simple pearl dot inlays, original nickel-silver tuning machines and tailpiece, ebony bridge, and inlaid tortoise-shell pickguard. An understated but classy instrument. It is very playable with low action, and good fretwork, and sounds quite lovely. 13" scale, 1-1/8" nut.
