Description

1904 Martin 0-21 Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #9892.
This 1904 Martin 0-21 Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #9892, is a fine example of early 20th-century Martin craftsmanship, featuring a Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a spruce top, in traditional 12-fret slotted headstock configuration. Over the years, the instrument has been refinished and fully oversprayed, affecting both the top and back surfaces. It is fitted with a non-original pyramid bridge, and the interior construction remains largely consistent with early Martin builds. This guitar would benefit from a neck reset and fret work to reach optimal playability. While not fully original due to the refinish and replacement bridge, it retains its historical charm and tonal potential. Ideal for collectors of early American guitars or restoration experts, this 0-21 offers an opportunity to own and revive a piece of Martin's pre-war legacy.
Hard case included. Condition: Good.
