Description

We offer a real rarity here. A Martin who is incredibly old, from the early days of the company. It comes with the original and breathtaking looking coffin case!
For the top of this guitar a nice piece of spruce with a very straight grain was used. The back and sides are made of high quality and very nice Brazilian rosewood.
This 1-26 sounds really great. An incomparable sound you won’t find on today’s guitars. This is the right choice for all who are looking for a special sound experience.
As everyone can imagine, the approximately 180 years of natural aging of a guitar are noticeable. This small guitar has an impressively beautiful sound that is both powerful and warm. Hard to describe – it is not everyday that we hold such a really antique marting guitar in our hands.
The guitar is in good condition for old age. It has certainly experienced many stories, but has survived surprisingly well all these years. Obviously a Neckreset was made once – the action is very good. The whole guitar has been restored and refinished
Inside there are some stamps which guarantee the authenticity of this instrument. The guitar is a 1-26 (Parlour) version.
The neck is straight, the frets are in good condition and the action is super low – no neckreset is to be feared and it is ready for the next 180 years.
