Up for sale is a wonderful sounding 1948 Martin 0-15 in its original natural finish. We love 15 and 17 style instruments from this era and this example is fairly clean and sounds wonderful. Mahogany top, back and sides, tort pickguard, open gear tuners, rosewood bridge and fingerboard. This example is free of any cracks which is fairly rare for a Martin flat top from this era. Playability wise the action is medium and the saddle is currently as low as it can go. The string height at the 12th fret measures 4mm on the bass side and 3mm on the treble. If lower action is desired a neck reset would be in order. If you are after one of these that has not had a neck reset and want your tech or luthier to perform it this would be a great option.

Pro Setup in house and ships with a period correct vintage soft case

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.   

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
