HISTORY
Quite possibly the earliest and the nicest vintage Martin Style 2 available right now. Made in 1922 with the original spring loaded Grover tuners that were only used that year, which means the finish is the early French polish that Martin used before the invention of spray lacquer in 1927. This particular Style 2 was owned by a child in Kansas of the Lee family that founded the Lee Mercantile company that we still know today as the maker of Lee Jeans. It was barely played and remained in the Lee family's storage unit for decades. INCLUDED ACCESSORIES
