Needless to say, this is the ultimate dream guitar. I've always felt that the early 1930s were when the Martin guitar company was making its best guitars. Very few of these were made since the Depression prevented people from buying the higher-end Martins. This one is not only in incredible original condition for a guitar this age, but it also sounds perfect. The balance is exactly what you want to hear in a fingerstyle guitar. The necks they were building in 1930 had the perfect shape, in my opinion. In fact, I have two guitars that have that exact neck profile and they are still my favorites to play. There is a very slight "V" in the shape, but not enough to make it feel strange to a modern guitarist. Because this was the biggest guitar they were building at the time, it has lots of very well-controlled bass response that is still compelling after 86 years of age. Just amazing and in this condition, the perfect collectible. When I die, I hope heaven is full of 1930 Martin 000-45s. This guitar is without a doubt one of the greatest pre war Martins on the planet today, and in better shape than I'd have imagined a 86-year-old guitar could hope to be in! The voice is everything you'd expect from a guitar of this vintage, and more. I don't know the next time will be when I'll see such an iconic Martin, in such condition, that's not on display at the Martin museum! - [ Ссылка ]
