Martin N-20, 1969, Brazilian Rosewood-Spruce, Trigger's sister, Case,

This is rare... actually it's very rare. Only a 'handful' are known to be made with these specifications, to be exact in 1968 only 3 were made, and in 1969 262 were made.

Willy Nelson continuously keeps on playing a bigger hole in one of the most famous guitars on the planet, his famous Martin N-20 called 'Trigger'. And this is Trigger's sister, also a '69 N-20 with serial number #245738 and quite the opposite from 'Trigger' in terms of play-wear.  Its perhaps the cleanest on the planet judging my experience were only 1 in every so many 40+ year old Martin guitars are in a condition close to that of this N-20.  It is -and that's an understatement- very clean,  One crack on the back (photo) that runs alongside the back-centerseam- is repaired. Also the reason why it's not visible from the inside because of the wood-strip covering the centerseam. A few small dings (see photo top of head) and a few tiny marks of a hanger (same photo). Almost no visible wear to the frets,  body and top. All original finish, and excellent playability with a great neck angle and lots of saddle left.  The guitar really looks as if it has been resting in its case for many of her 44 years or has only been played with gloves on. 

This wonderful Nylon strung guitar is feather-light, and produces a rich and vintage tone that breaths sould.  Airy, open, woody and singing single notes are words that come to mind when playing this wonderful little Martin,  with a deep and defined bass, singing but rounded and fat trebles, a powerful balanced mid, definitely a classical attack with separation of tones that's typical for these instruments make this N20 definitely one of the loveliest and intriguing Nylon guitars on the planet. 645mm(25.4") Scale length, 50mm(1 24/25") width at the nut, and 60mm (2 3/8") string-spacing at the bridge. The quality case is not original. 

*Note: Not all 1969 Martin were made with Brazilian back and sides, the last serial for the year was #256003, and officially the last Martin made with Brazilian back and sides was #254497 (the first for the year 1969 was #241925). This is serial #245378.
