{"product_id":"1964-martin-0-16ny-687","title":"1964 Martin 0-16NY","description":"Serial # 194388.  The New Yorker Martins were built in response to the folk revival of the 1950's and early 1960's. People were looking for old 12 fret \"New York\" made Martins on which to play the roots and traditional tunes that were popular in the day. Although designed for nylon (classical) strings or light gauge steel strings, these instruments sound remarkably better with steels strings, and were built more lightly than most other Martins of the era. The result is an instrument with a wide open voice, lots of harmonic overtones and good volume. 1 7\/8\" nut width, slotted headstock and rectangular bridge add to the vintage vibe of this instrument.  This early 1963 example has had a professional neck reset not too long ago, and has just been refretted and set up in our shop.  It is completely original with the exception of the frets, saddle, and one bridge-pin and is in near-mint condition.  No cracks or finish wear, and only a few small dings here and there to mention.  Original ivory nut, Waverly tuners, and full-height Brazilian rosewood bridge.  Mahogany back and sides, Sitka spruce top, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and headstock overlay.  Style 18 rosette and top bindings and purflings, unbound back., and satin lacquer finish.  A wonderful fingerstyle instrument, we have the action set at a slinky 4 to 5 64ths.\u003cbr\u003eWith period \/ original hard shell case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"sold\"\u003eSOLD\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"C.F.
