1965 Martin Guitar 0-16NY. played a lot and in great condition.
L. Bagg acoustic pick up installed.
The Martin 0-16NY was made from 1961 until at least 1992 and in that time 6,138 were made. In the year 1965 Martin made 375 of 'em. Being a Size 0 it is 13.5" in body width, has a Sitka spruce top and mahogany sides and back, a Brazilian rosewood headstock overlay, fingerboard and rectangular pin bridge. It is a slothead with a 1 7/8" nut width and a 2 ¼" string spacing at the bridge. The unbound rosewood fingerboard has no markers on the front surface but 7 white dotmarkers on the bass side. The top is bound with tortoise shell color celluloid, the back is unbound; the top also has black-white four ply purfling around its perimeter. The side mounted tuners have been replaced with better unit; the bridge saddle is set rather low but the action, with silk and steel strings is comfortable. The guitar right now is stringed with nylon strings. The guitar shows light normal signs of use and wear in the form of dings, scratches, scuffs, nicks including around the soundhole and around the peghead. This guitar has an internal passive/active pickup and strap pin/end pin at the bottom side.
It plays astonishing well, with a super mellow tone. It needs to be played, heard, and feel.
