Martin / 00042 Conversion / 1963 / Guitar

This is a 000-28c from 1963 which has been converted to a 00042 style by John Greven. John worked as a repairman in George Gruhn’s shop for a number of years and really pulled out the stops. He slimmed the neck from 2″ to 1 13/16″ and managed to use the old steel tuners for the peghead. The bindings were salvaged as was the finish for the back and sides! The topwood is Adirondack Red Spruce obtained from John Arnold. This particular top has fantastically tight grain and displays excellent silking. The figured back and sides on this guitar also deserves a special mention, this is one of the most figured Brazilian rosewood back and sides we've seen. After an initial break in period of a few months, this guitar has opened up nicely with an impressive balance coupled to exceptional volume and response. The overtones have a particular depth to them and the speed with which the guitar reacts to nuances in playing is impressive. Included is the original hardshell case and CITES.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
