Only a limited number of 91 guitars were ever produced, making them a true collector’s item.
This 000-45S delivers a warm, articulate, and dynamic sound with a beautifully balanced tonal spectrum, thanks to its high quality spruce top and premium rosewood back and sides. The scalloped X-bracing enhances resonance and projection, making it a perfect choice for fingerpicking and light strumming.
- Nut Width: 1 3/4" (44.5mm) – Comfortable for intricate fingerstyle playing
- Scale Length: 24.9" – A shorter scale for a softer, more responsive feel

The neck, made from select mahogany, features Martin’s modified V profile, providing vintage authenticity and a comfortable grip for extended playing sessions. The 45-style abalone inlays and ebony fretboard add to its visual and tactile appeal.
This guitar is in excellent condition, with all-original components, showing only minimal signs of use. The finish remains stunning, and the tone has matured beautifully over the years. It comes with its original deluxe Martin case, ensuring safe storage and transportation.
