Hi Folks,

Here is what I dug up to offer:

25 Assorted Martin Mahogany Neck Blanks. Most are 25.4" scale Dreadnought, with and without Diamond Valutes, most have dovetail ends, some have 3/4" tenon. All have Rosewood headplate veneer and Martin truss rod grooves. Each neck is very usable, however they are factory seconds due to chipouts, tight knot or tiny worm holes. The prices are $25.00 each. I can offer a few necks with Martin truss rods and Mahogany neck blocks for $45.00.


I have a Martin Neck as removed from an OM. Vintage Vee profile, 25.4" scake with trussrod, ebony fingerboard w/ 'Diamons=ds & Squares' markers and Grover Gold Vintage Style Tuners. Dovetail end. Make Offer

Martin D Top, Italian Alpine Spruce, Style 45 rosette w/ Abalone Pearl. This is a Martin Factory second due to small spots of irregular grain. VERY NICE and usable. Thickness is .110" Make Offer



Martin D-28 Top. Soundhole rosette installed. Back is marked for bracing. Very Nice. Make Offer.


Indian Rosewood Dreadnought Back & Sides. Martin Factory Parts. Back is jointed with HD-28 Zig-Zag backstrip. Matching sides are bent to Martin D Size. Nice, dark Indian Rosewood.

Please feel free to make offers, ask questions or tempt me with trades. I'm easy.

Mike

Hi Mike,

I would like the nut files. $50 is fine, if you want to trade for anything that is cool too.
