Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Stunning, high flame Koa on this punchy, perky little 00 from the fine folks at Martin.  The Adirondack/Koa combination can be awfully bright in general but, either by design or being played in, this little sweetheart is clear and keen without any of the brittle, overbright bitey-ness in the highs that you might expect.  If you're looking for a small guitar that has more to offer than thumpy midrange, this articulate little fellow is the way to go!
