Originally a Hawaiian guitar this was converted to Spanish style and restored by Mark Tossman of Seattle. The top is pearl trimmed and the back and sides are Brazilian rosewood. It is fitted with a replacement belly bridge and original bar style frets. This guitar suffered some dubious repairs over the course of its lifetime including three small holes in the top around what looks like a very large mark from an oversized bridge. There is considerable top wear and a well repaired crack around the center seam. Still it is a Martin from the most venerable period that plays and sounds like one of the best from the "00" series. Nut width is quite large, 1 28/32".
