1962 Martin 00-21NY

The Folk Revival of the late 50's brought with it a surge in popularity ofMartin's long-gone small-body 12 fret instruments. Many players of the daylooked far and wide for old "New York" stamped instruments to provide thetone they were after. Martin responded to the trend with the New Yorkerinstruments - the 0-16NY (which is also in our inventory currently), andthis one - the 00-21NY. The 00-21NY features Brazilian rosewood back andsides, spruce top, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and standardStyle 21 trim (with the exception of an absence of fingerboard dots). Theseinstruments were delicately braced and featured small maple bridge plates -making them some of the lightest built instruments Martin made since the1940's; and thereby some of the best sounding guitars built in the 1960's.This example is in excellent condition, with no top cracks and only onesmall well-repaired back crack. It has recently had a professional neckreset, and we have given it a refret, new bone saddle, and a set-up. Itplays beautifully with perfect action, and plenty of height on the saddle tobe lowered in years to come. Nut width of 1 7/8", 12 fret body joint, andscale length of 24.9". Ivory nut, original tuners, and original bridge pins.It is a wonderful sounding guitar with a lot of volume, warmth, open-ness,and punch.
1960s blue Martin hard shell case included.
