Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good
What a magnificent piece of work from the folks over at the Martin Custom Shop! If you're on the hunt for a guitar that cuts through the mix and produces plenty of volume, then look no further. The head-turning adirondack top delivers increased dynamic range and ample clean headroom. This beauty has a distinct tone marked by sweet midrange and incredible note separation that's sure to make any flatpicker grin.
