In this case, specifically my 1934 style 0 Martin. I got this about a year ago and it's a nice player, sounds awesome and plays great. Possibly could use a fine tuning setup, but it plays fine. It has 4 cracks on the back that have been repaired and are stable. The finish is crazed and even some bare wood in places. I like the used look..."sort of" it gives it character, but also looks pretty beat up. I'll probably keep it for a long time, so not too worried about collector value, if there even is any on a uke in this condition. I wouldn't mind having a vintage nice polished satin finish on it, but, would that ruin any value it has?
I have put new Martin strings on since these photos and love them!
Why do I think it's a 1934? Well, from what I read, '34 was the first year with the decal on the headstock and in '35 they started using wire frets, this has bar frets.
