This is true vintage: 88 years old, and still going strong. This Parlor has had some work done along the way, most recently a new bridge and plate built and installed by luthier Bill Tippin, but its still just as warm and vigorous as it always was. The all-Koa body is a great example of this wood's characteristics: the grain is tightly quilted, the color between burnt amber and caramel, and the tone is fabulously rich and energetic. This guitar has completely opened up, and plays extraordinarily easily; definitely a fingerstylist's dream. Traditional Ivoroid bindings, Herringbone and Zigzag trim, and original tuners complete the image of the fabled pre-war Martin guitar. Think of all the generations of parlor guitars that came from this design--what we have here is one of the archtypes of the model. The guitar's got great projection and trebles which sing and a sweet middle register. This guitar comes with a TKL hardshell case.
