Maple neck, Radiused Bubinga fingerboard with artistic position markers on the bass edge of the frets. Nickel Gotoh tuners. Volume and tone knobs with 3-way pickup selector switch and push/pull coil tap.
     This is a guitar made by a local luthier from Helena, MT, and is quite well-made. There are several unique features of this guitar that make it one of a kind. The shape is technically a double cut-away, but it is a completely original design, and really pleasing aesthetically. The input jack is located on the back of the body, instead of on the front or the side. The positioning of the jack is really great,  it keeps any cords out of your way when playing, and makes it hard to unplug them by mistake. A lot of the hardware on this guitar appears to be Bubinga, giving the guitar a nice, natural look.

     This is the real deal. A great playing, original strat at a price that's only going to go up as time goes by.
     The refinish, even though it isn't a standard color, was done very well. The guitar body was not overly sanded, it has no file marks in the wood, etc. The wood was then singed with a torch, to give the brown "flame" coloring, then clear finish was applied. There is some belt buckly wear into the wood at back coverplate area. It feels great, with medium weight and good balance, good resonance.

     This is a fine sounding Gurian. It has more "cut" and "punch" than many Gurians, and would be just as good for flatpicking as for fingerpicking. Very expressive and very full.

     New (Demo). This guitar is in nice new condition, but has been handled and played at some shows and festivals and has a couple of small dings on the top. It comes with same warranty as any new one, though.

Soundhole rosette has three purfling rings with center one having two strips of Ivory. 1 13/16" width at nut. Mahogany neck with radiused Ebony fretboard. Slotted peghead with original Elephant Ivory tuner buttons. The original tuners work fine. Original bridge and Ivory pins. Setup to play great on silk and steel strings.
     Really warm and beautiful tone. This guitar has an excellent low end for such a small guitar, and sweet, clean highs. Until 1927, Martin predominantly made guitars for nylon or gut strings. The only difference between these guitars and ones made for steel string is the presence of a bridge plate under the top. You can string it with ultra-light gauge strings (10's), silk and steel, silk and bronze, nylon or gut.

     Exc.(++) Condition. This guitar is in very nice shape. There is one mark on the top, and some barely discernable scratches on the back. There are a few light scratches on the back of the neck.
     All Mahogany construction. Radiused Rosewood fingerboard with graduated pearl dot inlays. Slotted headstock with Martin tuners and pearloid buttons. Strap button installed in correct position on the heel. Nice Greven Tor-Tis pickguard added.
     Nice, balanced sound and easy playability.

     Exceptional condition. Special issue "000" guitar from Martin to commemorate their 175th anniversary in business. This guitar only has a few very minor touch-marks on the top (can't see them when looking directly at the top), and one tiny touch on the side. In short, this is a fabulous guitar that is pretty close to new condition.
     12-fret "000" with Madagascar Rosewood back and sides and Adirondack Red Spruce top. 25.4" scale length. 1 3/4" width at nut. 2 11/32" pin spacing at bridge (in between 2 5/16" & 2 3/8").
     The Red Spruce top is very nice, with lots of "silky" side rays. The Madagascar Rosewood looks really close to Brazilian Rosewood in grain character.
     Guitar is fully bound, with multiple ivoroid body and peghead binding and single ivoroid binding along fingerboard. Heel cap and end wedge both are multiple bound with ivoroid. Diamond volute behind nut. Slotted peghead. Waverly 3-on-a-plate engraved open-back tuners with Ebony buttons. Ivory nut, saddle, bridge pins and end pin. Bridge pins and end pin have inlaid abalone dots.
     Top of guitar has beautiful abalone purflings around top edge, around fingerboard extension, bordering end wedge, and around soundhole rosette. Decorative wooden marquetry strip in center of Rosewood back. Madagascar Rosewood peghead overlay with intricate abalone floral inlay. Ebony radiused fingerboard has traditional abalone 'cat eyes, diamonds and snowflakes' inlay pattern.
     These long-scale 12-fret guitars have piqued my interest for years, because of how the 'timbre' of the tone shifts a bit when the bridge is located further down from soundhole and crossing of  X-braces. The attack seems 'more sure', and with full body sound after the attack.
     This guitar sounds really great. It is very "open" sounding with a very quick, bold attack. The balance, depth, attack... they are all very good.
     * In 2008 the list price on this guitar was $15,750.00

     Exc(-) condition. Great sound. Professionally re-topped by Martin with advanced bracing, an excellent Adirondack Red Spruce top and small Maple bridge plate and original pickguard. Anyway, the overall look and feel and performance are all very great.
     The work is very high level. It is very hard to tell the top is not original... The main evidence is the advanced bracing and the small hard Maple bridge plate. Not only does the newer Adirondack Red Spruce top "look" great, but this guitar has a great sound that rivals my 1956 original D-21 with Adirondack Red Spruce top
     Everything is in great playable shape. Great setup, neck angle and action. Two long back cracks repaired. Top shows normal player wear, and two or three random dings and one dent in the treble side binding. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners.
     Adirondack Red Spruce top. Small Maple bridge plate. Beautiful Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. Rosewood fingerboard and bridge.
     This guitar has had a recent professional neck reset and recent professional fret work. Usually, in most cases, you hate to hear about a guitar having to have a new top, but in this case the top is a clear advancement of tone and an upgrade for the future collectability of this guitar. It is possibly the only D-21 with an official Martin advanced-braced Adirondack top. It sounds much better than most late '60's D-21's that I have been around, having more presence and snappier attack than many do.
     * You may notice that the price of this guitar has been significantly reduced.

     Exc.(-) Condition. Barely any sign of fret wear. Some light player dings and light compression marks. Three repaired side cracks in waist - these are insignificant, but located where you see them when you look down while playing. Two small areas of lacquer chipping around peghead edges. No strap button ever installed.
     This guitar is an early example of Martin building a HD-28 with some of the pre-war appointments seen today only on higher Martins, like the "GE" and "Authentic" models. So, in effect, you could say this guitar is the forerunner of the D-18GE's and D-18A's.
     1935-style Mahogany neck with 1 3/4" width at nut, Ebony fingerboard with abalone cut diamond inlays, and a pre-war slightly rounded "Vee" profile that has a "full" feel in your hands.

     Very nice, open sound. This guitar does offer the player a very satisfying snappy attack with full bass represented and singing highs.Good presence up and down the fingerboard.

     Exc. (-) Condition. One slight repaired pickguard crack under the high "E" string. The top has a couple dents and moderate lacquer checking throughout. The back and sides have scratches but nothing sizeable. There are a few frets on the "B" string with a little wear, but the fretboard is in great shape. The neck is very clean, there is one small area near the first fret wear there is a little wear through the finish. The guitar fits a little loose in the case.

     Rosewood back and sides with select Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard and bridge. Straight-thru saddle in bridge. Nickel Waverly pre-war style open-back tuners. 1 3/4" width at nut. 2 1/4" pin spacing at bridge. Ebony pins. Multiple ivoroid bindings on top and back of body, with wooden herringbone purflings around top edge. Multiple ivoroid soundhole rosette. Abalone 'cut diamond' inlays in fingerboard.
     This is a very lively guitar. It is a very good flatpicking guitar, but is a really great fingerpicking guitar, especially in open tunings and alternate tunings. Big response and resonance, with a clean, "sure" attack. Set-up is great - it looks great, plays great and sounds great.

     Exc.(++) Condition. This guitar is very clean. There are one or two scratches but they are hard to find. If there was no pickup installed you might think this guitar was new.

Mahogany neck, radiused Ebony fretboard with Purpleheart "edging" and Abalone dot inlays. Nickel Schaller tuners.

     Exc. Condition. There are signs that this guitar has been played, but not many - just a few small light scratches on the back and sides. The top is in great shape, and the neck and fingerboard are flawless.
     Very nice Cedar top with heavy bearclaw figure. Coco Bolo back and sides. Top and soundhold rosette are bound with Roy's hand-made wooden herringbone purfling. Back has multiple wood bindings. Mahogany neck with blank, radiused Ebony fretboard. Nickel Waverly open-back tuners with ivoroid buttons.
     Very nice sound. This guitar is very resonant and lively. Any note played fills the room. This is a great guitar for recordings.
 

     New. Very nice Amazon Mahogany back, sides and neck. Very high grade silky Adirondack Red Spruce top. Ebony blank fingerboard and Ebony bridge. Nickel Waverly tuners with ivoroid buttons. Body is bound top and back with flamed Maple binding. Roy Noble's handmade wooden "spiral" purflings inside top edge of guitar and around soundhole rosette. Bone nut and intonated saddle. Ebony pins. Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay.
     Roy Noble guitars are known for their great tone and this one is no exception. It yields the same power and projection of the Noble dreadnoughts in a smaller body.
     This guitar has a beautiful top. The Red Spruce has a creamy texture and is complemented nicely by the Maple binding and rosette. The back, sides and neck are very appealing sets of Mahogany with a wood bound back that gives it a "natural" appearance. 1 3/4 width nut, and 25 1/4" scale.
     The 25 1/4" scale length is the main scale Mr Noble has used since back in the mid-1960's. It feels great with mediums, if you have to have mediums, but feels possibly even better with lights (12's), extra lights (11's), and even ultra lights (10's)... you really have to hear one with these lighter gauges to believe the wonderful feel and big tone from a Noble strung with them.
     Nobles sound very good when new... but the big treat is when they are about 2 years old. When they've aged that much, you get the same tones as before, but with more maturity, depth, response, and projection.

     Exceptional Condition. There is almost no evidence of player wear on the guitar. The top, back and sides are all very clean with no marks. The back of the neck is in great shape and there is just minimal signs of fret wear. Has never had an enpin or strap button installed.
     Adirondack Spruce top. Straight-grain quarter-sawn Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. Top and back of body have multiple wood bindings, with flamed Maple outer binding.

Mahogany neck, radiused Ebony fingerboard with Pearl "Cut Diamond" inlays. Nickel Waverly tuners with Ivoroid buttons. Ivory saddle with original bone saddle in case. There is also an Ivory nut blank in the case with the original bone nut on the guitar.
     Very strong, balanced tone. Great presence on every string, and when chords are played each individual note rings out in the mix.

     Exc.(++) Condition. This guitar is really clean with very slight signs of previous ownership. There are light scratches in the pickguard and one hard to find nick on the top. Back, sides and neck are all very clean with no marks and no fret wear.

Mahogany neck, radiused Ebony fingerboard with cut diamond inlays. Taylor "Expression" pickup system with endpin jack and tone and volume controls. Gold Taylor hardware including strap button installed correctly on the heel.

     Hollow-body electric with sunburst finish. Vox Ferro-Sonic pickup with volume and tone controls. There are also controls for an "E tuner", trebe/bass booster and distortion. Maple neck, radiused Rosewood fingerboard with graduated pearl dot inlays.
