  • Description: UGC34832 You can't be a collector or player of vintage guitars if you don't have a special place in your heart for these 19th century Martins. Even though they are much smaller than their contemporary counterparts, they have an amazing tone and an exceptional amount of volume as compared with other instruments of the same period. It is easily understood why Martin guitars became so desirable. The Spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back & sides are incredible to behold. This example has a real Ivory bridge (perhaps added later or it may have been custom ordered that way). There have been a few repairs over its 160+ years, but the guitar will still be bringing sweet sounds to the world for another 160. An unbelievably exquisite treasure nestled in its original 'coffin' case.
