Martin 2-24 Brazilian Rosewood 1857
Dit is een zeldzaam stukje Martin geschiedenis, en ook nog eens in een prachtige staat! Martin's 24-stijl is een van de vroegste stijlen en deze specifieke gitaar dateert uit de jaren 1850.
Deze kleine gitaar is prachtig gerestaureerd door Roman Zajicek. Je zou niet zeggen dat deze gitaar meer dan 160 jaar oud is, want hij ziet er echt schoon uit en is teruggebracht naar een meer dan uitstekende bespeelbaarheid. En de magie van Roman bij het restaureren van deze 2-24 heeft geresulteerd in een nog magischere klank! De achter- en zijkanten van Braziliaans palissander zorgen voor een diepe en warme toon, terwijl het sparren bovenblad zorgt voor een mooie balans en heldere hoge tonen.
En ondanks zijn kleine Parlor body, zul je verrast zijn door de volle klank die eruit komt. Vooral spelen met een lichtere aanraking is het meest lonend, hij laat echt horen dat er nog veel leven in zit!
Wat deze gitaar nog specialer maakt, is dat hij wordt geleverd in de originele 'coffin' koffer. Zelfs het originele label, dat ook aangeeft dat het een 2-24 is, is nog aanwezig aan de binnenkant van de koffer.

This is a rare piece of Martin history, and one in a beautiful condition at that! Martin's 24 style is among the earliest and this specific guitar dates from the 1850s.
This small-bodied guitar has been wonderfully restored by Roman Zajicek. You wouldn't say this guitar is over 160 years old because it looks really clean and it has been brought back to an excellent playability. And Roman's magic in restoring this 2-24 has resulted in an even more magical tone! The Brazilian rosewood back and sides deliver a deep and warm tone, while the spruce top makes sure it has a nice balance and clear highs.
And despite its small Parlor body, you'll be surprised by the tone that comes out of it. Especially playing it with a lighter touch is the most rewarding, it really shows it has a lot of life left in it!
What makes it even more special, is that it comes in the original coffin case. Even the original label, also indicating this is a 2-24, is still present on the inside of the case.
