About This Guitar
The Martin 00-21 Gram Parsons honors one of country-rock’s most influential voices with a limited-edition recreation inspired by Parsons’ original 1963 00-21. Limited to just 80 guitars in recognition of what would have been his 80th birthday, it combines historically inspired construction, period-correct dimensions, and carefully matched visual aging.
The 12-fret 00 body pairs East Indian rosewood back and sides with an old-growth Sitka spruce top treated with Martin’s Vintage Tone System. Aging Toner and visual wear are matched to Gram Parsons’ original guitar, giving the instrument the appearance of a well-preserved vintage example rather than a modern reissue.
VTS-treated Golden Era scalloped Adirondack spruce X-bracing supports the top, while the short 24.9" scale and wide 1 7/8" nut give the guitar a distinctly traditional feel. The genuine mahogany neck uses Martin’s 00-21 1963 Gram Parsons profile and is paired with an East Indian rosewood fingerboard.
Period-correct details include Style 28 fingerboard inlays, a slotted headstock, nickel Golden Age side-mount tuners, an East Indian rosewood bridge, bone saddle, and faux tortoise pickguard. A label featuring Gram Parsons’ pre-printed signature is included inside the guitar.
A Martin hardshell case is included.
