1958 Martin 000-21 Flattop Guitar

Can't complain too much about a 000-size, Brazilian rosewood-backed, '50s Martin, can you? This one is owned by a local customer (the second owner -- she bought it in the early '60s) and she's loved it ever since acquiring it.

I gave it a neck reset and Ancel did a level/dress on the frets, fit a new bone saddle, and set it up. Everything is original save bridge pins and saddle.

It has a medium, soft-C/V neck profile that's quite comfortable and a little faster than I expect on '50s/'60s guitars. I like how the back has a sort of "center glow" of lighter color to the rosewood.
