Production of the OO-30 model began in 1899 and ended in 1921. In these intervening 23 years, C.F Martin would produce only 101 of these small rosewood bodied guitars. A total of 12 were built in 1917, with this example being one of a batch of five made that year with the serial numbers from 12558 to 12562.

Purchased in 2007 from Fat Dog’s Subway Guitars in Berkeley, California, Mark Knopfler used this rare antique instrument to record the song ‘Good As Gold’ on his 2009 solo studio album Get Lucky, recorded at British Grove Studios from October 2008 to March 2009. The album took musical inspiration from Mark’s upbringing, blending elements of folk, Celtic music, blues and rock. American multi-instrumentalist Greg Leisz used the OO-30 during recording of the bonus track 'Fat Chance Dupree', expected for release on Knopfler's tenth solo studio album in 2024.

This guitar is sold with ivory exemption licence no. D3C9YMCE.
