1965 Martin D21 Guitar

(Serial No. 201106) Excellent structual condition showing some playing wear. The D21 can be thought of as a rosewood D18. It has a solid Brazilian rosewood back and sides and a solid Sitka spruce top. Tuners have been changed from Klusons to patent applied for Grover Rotomatics. Neck is straight, frets are good, neck looks like it has been reset as the action is low and comfortable. Has some finish checking on the top and back and and the usual playing wear of a guitar used to make music for 60 years. Has the tortoise binding and pickguard, Brazilian rosewood fretboard and bridge, 1 11/16 bone nut, the through saddle, and the small maple bridge plate. This guitar is a vetern of the campfire wars - there is significant pickwear on the top, right below the pickguard. This guitar has that solid Martin "boom" you need in a good bluegrass guitar. Plays very easy with a nice low action. This is an well played, excellent sounding D21. Why play the same guitar everyone else plays? Comes with a very nice newer hardshell case.
