| Case Details: | Chipboard Case |
| Cosmetic Condition: | This vintage Martin guitar shows nice aging and wear, with a visible history of use and repairs. There are repaired cracks in the top, sides, and back of the body. The back of the neck has many areas that were filled with wood putty, and the whole guitar was at some point oversprayed. The top has a somewhat pronounced belly, mostly due to the bridge plate deformation mentioned in "Tech Notes." |
| Serial Number: | 8676 |
| Tech Notes: | The serial number dates to 1899, and the serial number impression on the top of the headstock is consistent with this date. The bridge plate has a mild separation/deformation at the front, likely from the tension of steel strings. The guitar has been strung with light silk & steel strings to reduce total tension. |
