1935 Martin 000-28 Natural

1935 Martin 000-28L Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #61599. This 1935 Martin 000-28L represents a rare instance in guitar manufacturing: an original left-handed model from a period when such customizations were exceptionally uncommon. It comes with its original bridge and pickguard, though the pickguard has been detached and the original bridge is cracked, suggesting a history of use and the need for careful restoration. Despite these issues, the guitar's back and sides are made of straight-grained Brazilian Rosewood, free of cracks, and its neck and frets remain original and in good condition, underlining the guitar's structural integrity and historical authenticity. The guitar is especially notable for its use of Brazilian Rosewood, a highly sought-after material for its tonal qualities and appearance, which significantly enhances its collectibility. This instrument's combination of rarity, historical significance, and potential for restoration makes it a coveted item for collectors and historians of American acoustic guitars. Original hard case included. Condition: Very Good. HID05201242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
