Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good - Several dings (pictured) and playwear/scratching
This Martin OM is ready to be played! This guitar has been played for quite a while at this point and has started to open up nicely and after some love from our luthier Rob this thing is a player's dream! If you are looking for a guitar that has the sweetness that your dread is missing this is worth trying out. The combination of Sitka/East Indian Rosewood leaves you with an om with a big wider sound than you'd expect with a lovely low end and warm mid range!
