  • Description: This is an 1891 New York-made pre-serial number Martin style 2-40. They were made between 1860 and 1898. This beauty has a pearl trimmed top and rosette but no fingerboard inlays. Brazilian rosewood back & sides. Has had a couple of repairs in its long life. New replica pyramid genuine elephant ivory bridge (with documentation to make it legal - these were correct for the period), a little overspray on the body, repaired top and back cracks, and a replaced (maple) bridge plate Good playing condition so it is possible it's had a neck set. All modern work was done by Randy Wood according to current owner. Original Martin-built coffin case with size and style pencilled in by Mr. Martin in New York. This is one unbelievable guitar!
