Mandolin Family1937 Martin 2-20 Mandolin
Sunburst. Ridiculous flame. This is a rare Martin, with 94 shipped in all years production. The #2 in the "model 2-20" meant it had "F" holes.
It's Martins only instrument made with a hand carved back.... ever. Ponder that a moment. A really cool -and minty clean - pre-war Martin collectible thats perfect for the home studio. Not barky loud... but an even tone that has volume but sans the upper mids of a Gibson.
Lush fiddle back maple neck and carved back. Beautiful tall carved spruce top with 4 layers of binding. Bound ebony fingerboard with striking tortoise shell headstock over lay - sporting the Martin logo.
The original frets show wear but we've tweaked and cleaned it up to a high standard. Original bridge, pick guard, tailpiece, and nickel Grover tuners - etched with ivoroid buttons. A pretty, crack free - expensive when new - pre war Martin. With a sexy original case with case candy. Willie discusses the 2-20 on YouTube $3800.00 or save $100 if no credit card fees.
