The Story

000-42 Authentic 1939 Acoustic Guitar Natural

A guitar that looks and sounds like it stepped out of a time machine: the Martin 000-42 Authentic 1939. This triple-0 bodied guitar has an Adirondack top with the Vintage Tone System, gorgeous pieces of Madagascar rosewood for the back and sides, authentic Adirondack rearward shifted X-bracing, and exquisite snowflake inlays with an abalone top inlay. A true class-act of an acoustic guitar that will be a great addition to any Martin collection.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Paperwork
