With folk music on the rise in the early 60’s, Martin set to create an instrument that appealed to the needs of players while honoring their own legacy, thus the NY models were born.

Also featured are no markers on the side of the fingerboard and a slotted headstock, these were nearly identical in look and feel to the 1920's originals.

Features Brazilian rosewood back and sides, and a non-original case.
