{"product_id":"1929-martin-00-21-715","title":"1929 Martin 00-21","description":"Some of you will recognize this instrument from the pages of our gallery.  We photographed it about a year ago after we completed restorations including a neck reset (it's second one), a new hand-carved reproduction pyramid bridge, and a bar-fret reseat and leveling.  Well it's back in the shop again, but this time in our showroom.  It is a truly wonderful guitar, breathless in tone, with a great balance and evenness across the strings and up the neck.  Aside from the obvious extensive play-wear this instrument is in great shape... The best sounding ones have always been played a whole lot!  One back crack, and a couple of fairly insignificant top cracks were fixed long ago. There are no other repairs to mention, and no further work is needed - this is a 76 year old Martin that's in top-playing form.   Here are its specifications:  Brazilian rosewood back and sides, Adirondack Red Spruce top and bracing, 21-style trim including rosewood body bindings and herringbone rosette and backstrip, gorgeous original finish, tuners, frets, and snowflake fingerboard inlays.  1-7\/8\" nut (bone), 24.9\" scale length; 14-1\/4\" wide and 4 1\/8\" deep.  This is a steel-string braced guitar (this model became braced for steel in '27) and is currently set up with Martin light gauge strings.  It has a discreet B-Band A-2 pickup system that we installed last year with and end-pin mounted pre-amp (no holes in the side, don't worry).  This pick-up system features a very natural sounding AST 1470 soundboard transducer, and provides an option for an accessory internal condenser microphone.  Yours with a remarkably-well preserved original hard shell case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"C.F.
