Martin 00-21 Gram Parsons - Old Growth Sitka Spruce & East Indian Rosewood #3097222

The Martin 00-21 Gram Parsons is a beautifully crafted tribute to Gram Parsons' iconic 1963 00-21, serial number 187538. Featuring an Old Growth Sitka Spruce top treated with Martin's Vintage Tone System (VTS), this exceptional 12-fret guitar delivers vintage character with remarkable tonal depth and responsiveness. The Aging Toner gloss finish, period-correct Style 28 multi-stripe rosette, faux tortoise binding, and East Indian Rosewood back and sides create an elegant appearance inspired by the original instrument.

Its traditional X-bracing features 1/4-inch Golden Era scalloped Adirondack Spruce braces with VTS, offering warmth, clarity, and impressive projection. The East Indian Rosewood bridge, bone saddle, bone bridge pins, and abalone pin dots complete its carefully considered vintage appointments. The combination of premium tonewoods and thoughtfully executed construction produces a rich, balanced voice with shimmering highs, warm mids, and beautifully resonant bass.

The genuine mahogany neck features a 1963 Gram Parsons-inspired 00-21 profile, satin finish, and comfortable 24.9-inch scale length. An East Indian Rosewood fingerboard with period-correct Style 28 mother-of-pearl inlays complements the slotted East Indian Rosewood headstock, script overlay logo, and nickel Golden Age side-mount tuning machines. With its 1 7/8-inch nut width and 12-fret neck joint, the guitar offers a relaxed playing feel true to its vintage inspiration.

Weighing just 4 pounds, the Martin 00-21 Gram Parsons combines exceptional comfort, timeless aesthetics, and outstanding acoustic character. Supplied with a hardshell case, it is a distinctive instrument that celebrates the legacy of Gram Parsons while delivering the craftsmanship, musicality, and enduring quality that define Martin guitars.
