Martin Classical/Nylon String Guitars - 1962 00-16C ClassicalMPN: 1962 00-16C Classical This beautiful vintage 1962 Martin 00-16C is unusual and quite interesting! This is in Good Condition and does have a replaced bridge. The pickguard and 'Mark Twain' inlay were added later, as was a strap button at the back of the neck. This has two very small repaired back cracks, with a bit of overspray, but they were nicely repaired. Average amount of finish checking and crazing. This has good action and is a great player. Wondering about the Twain inlay? So were we. Turns out Twain was not only one of America's best storytellers and writers, but also a player, and this 00-16C is very similar to Twain's. He purchased a used 1835 Martin 2 1/2-17 back in 1861 for a mere $10. Read more of the fascinating story of Twain's guitar and musical interests at the Museum of Musical Instruments. We suspect this one may have been used by a Twain recreation actor or just a big fan. This 1962 Martin 00-16C comes with a hard case. Serial # 185290. While Twain's sold for $15 million, you can get this one for only $1,250. Consignment item, sorry no free shipping. USED
