This Martin 000-42, expertly crafted in 2018, features a resonant solid spruce top complemented by the rich tonal characteristics of solid rosewood back and sides. The instrument incorporates a comfortable modified low oval mahogany neck, paired with a ebony fingerboard. Aesthetic appointments that distinguish the 000-42 include abalone binding on the top, an abalone rosette, snowflake and diamond fingerboard inlays, and double bound binding on both the body and neck.

This Martin 000-42 exhibits few discernible signs of handling. Careful examination reveals the presence of light pick marks and surface swirls on the instrument's finish. Additionally, localized areas of light finish flaking are noted along the upper back binding, where it adjoins the body. This 000-42 is in excellent overall condition and delivers a pleasing sonic experience.
