Vintage '00' Style Acoustic Guitar - All Solid Woods Here is an instrument that harks back to the very earliest days of steel strung guitar designs that were based on classical guitars; when in the early 1900's makers like Christian Martin, Orville Gibson, Oscar Schmidt, Lyon & Healy etc. built guitars with classical 'Spanish' size bodies braced to take steel strings; it was Christian Martin who invented the 'X' bracing system for the tops of his steel string guitars and is used for the top of this guitar. This beautiful instrument is built to that early tradition using the finest quality solid woods like AAA grade Canadian sitka spruce for the top and Indian rosewood for the back and sides; even the body binding is solid maple with classic solid wood herring bone purfling. The mahogany neck has an ebony fretboard bound also with maple. The nut, string saddle and bridge pins are all carved from solid bone, so no laminates or synthetics have been used anywhere in the build of this exquisite instrument. The 'drop belly' bridge (another Martin invention), slotted headstock with solid rosewood headplate and vintage style tuning machines with ivoroid tuning buttons complete the vintage look. The headstock is available with or without our logo. We commissioned just four of these instruments to be built and you won't find any other guitar of similar design, using the same quality solid woods, at this remarkably low price which includes a rigid shell case. Personal callers are welcome to trial this fine instrument before buying, call 07749 746164 to arrange an appointment. To view a video performance of this guitar go
