Style 21 has its origins in the 1850s and size 1 was a popular model throughout rest of the 19th century. Nowadays, these guitars are not easy do date, but we managed to narrow it down to the period 1867-1898. In 1867, the stamp on the center strip inside the body changed to 'C.F. Martin & Co. New York'. This stamp can be found on the center strip and neck block inside this guitar, which means it is a post-1867 guitar. Furthermore, the rosewood binding and herringbone rosette indicate that it is likely closer to the 1890s. One thing that is absolutely certain, is that it's over 120 years old and that it has had quite the ride the last century. It has gotten a newer bridge and the V-shaped cedar neck has had a refret. Several cracks can be found on the spruce top, and three cracks on the sides and one on the back, which are both made of Brazilian rosewood. This also makes the condition 'fair'. This is a real collectors piece that also won't misstand in a museum as a piece of 19th century Martin history. Comes in a case with TFOA passport.

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.
