Sound Pure's Take
This Martin really sings! The adirondack spruce top paired with a very nice even-grained mahogany back and sides is a match made in heaven! Plenty of volume and neuance in the pick attack. A very nice finger-style acoustic as well!
I love the tinted top. vintage vibe, minus the vintage price! Definitely a Martin to consider. It's going for nearly half off list price! now is the time. Give us a call for more info. We would be happy to go into full detail about anything you may be wondering about- feel, tonality, styles, etc..
