Thank you for visiting Cobbwebbs, we specialize in Vintage and Collectible Items. Please check back regularly for additional items.This is a 1937 Martin R-17 arch-top guitar. Serial #68219. Mahogany top, back and sides. Nice vintage V shape straight neck. 1 3/4" width at the nut. 14 fret to body. A very nice bluesy tone with great note separation. Seems to be a 00 body size. Mostly original but here are some exceptions. Tuners have been replaced with Grover open back tuners. These tuners seem low quality. There is a top crack behind the bridge (see pictures). Pickgaurd is missing leaving visible glue marks. Some finish dings. It plays and sounds great with good action.

These videos were shot on a smartphone, so the quality may not be as good as some others.
