Sound Pure's Take

Conditon: Used, Excellent

Another Authentic series Martin, another reason to be grateful we have hands to play and ears to listen.  You just can't beat this series, regardless of the specific model.  We've seen mostly dreads over the years so it is an absolute thrill to welcome our first used 00 to the shop.  And it's everything we could imagine and hope for!  Bold, organic, authoritative, and, of course, comfy.  With '31 spec Genuine 'hog, a wide 1 7/8" nut, and Adirondack top/bracing, this little hoss is a time machine that can go forward, too!

From Martin and Co.

Faithfully reproduced with hide glue construction, dovetail neck joint, Adirondack spruce top with Vintage Tone System, genuine mahogany back and sides and a black ebony fingerboard and bridge, this 00-12 fret guitar will appeal to a broad range of players and musical styles with its well-balanced tone.
