Sound Pure's Take
Bling and boom in equal measure! This 2012 sounds just as great as it looks and arrived in great shape, to boot--our luthier replaced a few well worn frets, stabilized a couple areas of worn finish, and performed an overall setup. So great to see a happy neck angle, bridge, and top on a Martin that as a few years on it! Rich and complex in the bass register alone, this flagship of American acoustic design is not to be missed!
Condition: Used, Very Good
From Martin and Co.
Inlaid in stunning abalone pearl and appointed with gold tuners, it's more than a Dreadnought: it's an heirloom. Premium East Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce combined with hand-carved scalloped bracing to produce rich, powerful, complex tone.
