Martin Acoustic Guitars

For a 1953, serial number 133519 this is a beautiful and all original Brazilian rosewood collectors guitar. My great grandfather sold his Gibson and bought this one. Since my great grandfather passed in 1972, it has been in its case.  I just recently had new strings and bridge pins put on and it's ready for your enjoyment. I have 5 of the original pins one was lost. The bridge plate was slightly lifted and was professionally fixed. It does have a scuff on the neck where the shoulder strap used to be and on the front there are pick marks and a few scuffs from a pick up plate. The plate fit in the sound hole under the strings and was wired direct to an amp. Also the Martin logo seems to be crackling a bit. All of this is normal wear.  As you can see by the pictures, it is a beautiful guitar. It has been in its case for the last 38 years.  It's in great shape for its age. The professional that replaced the strings said "it sounds great like only a Martin would sound."  I don't play, so if you would like any more pictures or have any questions please ask.  I will be happy to answer any and all questions including additional pictures, so please email me.  I am charging $100 for shipping and insurance because I want to make sure your investment is protected.  U.S. only.  If overseas please email me before bidding I would have to research the cost as it pertains to where you are.  Please serious bids only. Will ship after verification of funds accepted through paypal only.
