Seen here is a Martin 000-42 built during 2020 in Nazareth PA, in very good, clean and original condition with minimal wear. It plays well, and is a beautiful instrument – nicely decorated but not overly so. It has been played, but apparently not extensively, and its already good sound will improve with use.
