Superb example of an older D-28, one-owner guitar with neck reset & minor cracks repaired at Elderly Music with full documentation, 100% original with OHSC, outrageous Brazilian wood on this one, and it’s a canon! Hey, didn’t Elvis play a ’54 D-28? Yes, I think he did!
The 000-21 was a model that Martin produced with the 1.68 nut from 1939-1959. Martin only built 97 000-21s in 1950.
