1989 Martin 00-21

The Martin 00-21 has long been appreciated for combining the comfortable feel of a small bodied guitar with the tonal depth of rosewood construction. This 1989 Martin 00-21 is a fine example of the model from this period, offering the balanced response and clarity that have made the style 21 instruments popular with fingerstyle players and recording musicians alike.

Constructed with a solid spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides, the guitar delivers a clear and articulate voice with strong bass presence for its compact body size. The 00 body shape provides a focused and responsive tone, while the mahogany neck offers a comfortable playing feel. Typical specifications for this model include a short 24.9 inch scale length and a slotted headstock with three on a plate tuners, in keeping with the traditional 12 fret design.

Further features include a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, and understated style 21 appointments that give the instrument its classic appearance. The combination of spruce and rosewood provides a rich and balanced sound that works equally well for fingerstyle playing and light flatpicking.

This guitar is in very good condition, and includes its original Martin case.
