Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

This unique piece was dreamt up in collaboration between the Martin Custom Shop and Nashville's Gruhn Guitars. The power of a dreadnought with the balance and focus of an OM! Whether strumming or playing fingerstyle, this Martin will rise to the task, with Adirondack Spruce and subtly figured Sinker Mahogany. 

SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed and fret dress
