Used Martin Guitars
Maker: Martin
Year: 1936
Notes:
These Martin Hawaiian guitars from this period came with flat fingerboards and bar frets. Not everyones favorite combination. When this conversion was done, along with the neck set the fingerboard was replaced ( with Brazilian) with a modern radiused fingerboard. Much better. As well, it had the super thin '36 bridgeplate replaced with something more typical of that period, very nice. Two very short tight solid hairline cracks on the lower back keep this from being excellent. Huge sound. Original soft case in marginal condition.
Maker: Martin

Maker: Martin
Year: 1946
Notes:
A superb guitar, basically a 1945 in terms of appointments: Ad top, ebony fittings. Condition is stunning, recent neck set, zero issues. This guitar has the '46 neck profile, big, fat, round, feels more like the wide neck of the 30s. The Brazilian rose wood on the back and the sides are curly, obviously matched from the same log, perhaps the nicest rosewood we've seen. Huge sound. Love this guitar.

Notes:
There are not a lot of the guitars that I know the history of as well as this one. It belongs to a friend of mine of 45 years, and now is the time of life for him to move on. I remember when he purchased it in 1974, we played old timey music together. All of the major issues with this guitar existed as they are now when he bought the guitar, nothing has changed or moved. The two major issues are: It has a partial well repaired and solid crack in the peghead. At some point before he got the guitar the block had slipped and been reglued, it has been unchanged as well. There are a few minor solid repaired cracks on the top that as well were there and unchanged. It has a perfectly replicated bridge and bridge plate, one would be hard pressed to tell. The finish, sides and back are all untouched. There is a huge upside. It recently received a neck reset and set up. I have owned and played dozens of prewar D28s and D18s and I am pretty darn sure I have not played one any better than this one. It is absolutely mind boggling.

Maker: Martin
Year: 1957
Notes:
Here we have a T-28 made in 1957, one of 6 made that year. Really excellent looking and playing. It appears that the top was refinished when the pickguard was added; it looks like Martin pickguard material but they did not originally come with pickguards. A beautiful Brazilian example in the original case, and for those of you in a hurry, the "5 Minute Course for Playing the Tiple" is still in the original chip-board case.
