1968 Martin 0-16NY

Serial # 239672. The New Yorker Martins were built in response to the folkrevival of the late 1950's and 1960's. People were looking for old 12 fret"New York" made Martins on which to play the roots and traditional tunesthat were popular in the day. Designed for nylon (classical) strings orlight gauge steel strings, these instruments sound remarkably better withsteels strings, and were built much more lightly than most other Martins ofthe era. The result is an instrument with a wide open voice, lots of builtin "reverb" and good volume. 1 7/8" nut width, slotted headstock andrectangular bridge add to the vintage vibe of this instrument, and thanks toa neck reset and new frets done in our shop, it plays perfectly. Crack-freeoriginal condition.
