In the sale of this Martin guitar, I am prospectively starting dealings
with parties that are very notable in the business of dealing with such musical instruments. However, one purpose of this public notice is to give the public at large a chance to learn of the offering of this fine guitar. All offers will be noted. This web page will be updated if a sale goes forth in a way in which the public may participate, as with an auction or consignment. In this case, information on places and dates will be posted at the top of this page.
This guitar has been kept with great care, by an owner who appreciated and showed proper care for numerous very fine items. It is in New York City.
Many good aspects of its condition are obvious from these photographs. Only very serious offers will be considered for this guitar.
