Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
We've seen quite a few of Martin's Golden Era series make their way through the shop; we're always excited to hear we've got one on the way!
This OM is a fine example: equal parts power and precision, sensitive enough to whisper a sweet melody, strong enough to keep up with the bigger guitars. There's a wealth of songs waiting to be written with this one, it's sure to inspire!
