Martin / 00042 Authentic Madagascar Rosewood Adirondack Spruce VTS 2016 / 1939 / Guitar For Sale

The original 1939 00042 was among the absolute pinnacle of Martin's pre-war catalog. With its refined abalone inlay in the characteristic snowflake pattern on the fingerboard, the multi-stripe purfling, and the elegant 000 body shape, this model represented the pinnacle of craftsmanship. Martin produced only a handful of these instruments each year at the time, making the 00042 one of the most coveted vintage guitars. This Authentic 1939 reissue meticulously follows those original specifications, including the rearward-shifted scalloped X-bracing pattern so characteristic of the pre-war sound. The secret behind the authentic tone lies in Martin's Vintage Tone System. This process artificially ages both the Adirondack spruce top and the braces, altering the molecular structure of the wood in a way that would normally take decades. The result is immediately audible: the guitar has that open, rich, and complex tone you'd otherwise only find in genuine pre-war Martins. The combination with Madagascar rosewood for the back and sides creates a beautiful balance between clear, articulate tones and a warm, full bass foundation. Visually, this 00042 is a feast for the eyes. The grained ivoroid binding contrasts beautifully with the dark Madagascar rosewood, while the abalone snowflake inlay sparkles across the ebony fingerboard. The Madagascar rosewood headstock overlay and the classic tortoiseshell pickguard complete the vintage look. But this is no museum piece; the guitar plays wonderfully thanks to the Authentic 1939 neck profile, which fits perfectly in the hand and offers smooth playability for both fingerstyle and flatpicking. This 00042 Authentic 1939 from 2016 is in excellent condition, but the binding has been repaired in a few places. The bindings at the waist have been reglued, and a piece has been inserted into the binding at the heel cap, a result of shrinkage. The guitar comes in a Harptone hardshell case with a TFOA passport. A rare opportunity to own one of Martin's most exclusive models, with the sound and appearance of a pre-war classic but the reliability and playability of a modern instrument.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
