We just had this 1951 Martin 0-15 restored for your enjoyment.  The neck reset, new saddle, and bridge re-glue set this classic up for another 75 years of music.

The frets look original and have lots of life left after perhaps one mill and crown been performed some time in the past.

There is a little evidence of the glue that surrounded the edge of the bridge from the last re-glue work, performed by someone who wasn't really killing it.

There are no cracks or other repairs.  

The tuners and pickguard are original.  The origin of the endpin is unknown.  The case is original and inside is a cool, old strap that has probably been with the guitar for decades.

The Martin O-15 is a highly sought-after all-mahogany acoustic guitar that exemplifies the warm, woody tone and exceptional craftsmanship of early postwar Martins. With its small body and light build, the O-15 offers a focused, balanced voice ideal for fingerstyle and blues, and it's surprisingly resonant for its size. The original finish has aged beautifully, showcasing the guitar's vintage character, while the overall condition remains very good for its age. A true collector’s piece and a perfect recording instrument, this USA-made Martin is a fine example of timeless design and tone.
