Martin / Custom 0-16NY / 1993 / Natural / Guitar For Sale
The Martin 0-16NY was made from 1961 until 1995 and in that time only 6,138 were made, so it’s a rare model. It’s an 0 size Spruce / Mahogany parlour guitar, with slot headstock, and a 1 7/8” neck joining at the 12th fret. This particular example is a Custom model featuring a Torch headstock inlay with Martin stamp on the back of the headstock, 42 style snowflake fingerboard inlays, pyramid bridge, and V profile neck. The guitar in nicely balanced, surprisingly loud for a small guitar, working well with fingerstyle and light strumming. The Spruce top and Mahogany back and sides, well matured over 31 years of play, sound warm and rich. The guitar’s in excellent, all original condition, and comes in it’s original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
