Description

circa 1900's Martin 0-28 Natural Acoustic Guitar.
This circa 1900s Martin 0-28 is a very early example of one of Martin's most enduring small-body models, built with a natural spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides. The guitar has undergone extensive repairs and refinishing over its lifetime. There are numerous repaired cracks on the top, back, and sides, along with headstock cracks that have also been addressed. The interior shows areas of repair and damage, with missing sections near the edges and visible glue residue throughout. The neck block appears to have been reglued, and overall, the instrument will require additional restoration work to return it to optimal structural and playing condition.
Hard case included. Condition: Poor.
