This version is incredibly scarce and amazingly well made, so if you’ve been searching for an interesting LG 3/4, looking for a unique voicing for recording applications, or desiring a beautifully well-crafted practice or travel acoustic, this is as good as it gets.

This particular grand auditorium-sized pre-war example, serial number 73184, is in completely intact 100% all original condition. This unbelievable find from Martin’s Golden Era is rare in and of itself, however, finding one in perfect structural condition, with no cracks, no breaks, no repairs, and no replaced parts, is becoming practically impossible. Almost identical to a concurrently crafted 000-28, this exceedingly rare model is every bit as magical, and produces an extraordinarily beautiful tone. With several pre-war Martin models fetching amounts well over $50,000.00, this is most definitely the obvious bargain, and with other dealers asking up to $20,000.00 for later examples in various states of restoration and dis-repair.
