Nice old 0-17 from the magic period of Martin guitar construction. All Mahogany guitar – Mahogany back, sides, neck and top. Brazilian Rosewood peghead overlay, fingerboard and bridge. Bone nut and cut-thru saddle. Original open-back tuners and original pickguard.
Very few repairs to this guitar. Newer correct replica bridge. A few small cracks repaired “north and south” of bridge. Top has a few dings and scratches, and has a crescent of wood that pulled up when bridge was being replaced. Area immediately in front of bridge shows some bare wood. Back has no cracks. This repair is done professionally and is nice and tight. Negligible wear on the frets. Formerly was converted to left-hand set-up, but has recently been converted for right-handed playing.

This is a great sounding guitar that is in great playing condition and comes with an excellent old Martin chipboard case in fine condition.
