Sound Pure's Take

Conditon: Used, Very Good (small area of finish damage near repaired binding)

Love these!  The CEO series is full of winners but we're particularly smitten with this pre-war inspired Addy/Mahogany 00.  Clear and authoritative, this masterful little 14 fret 00 is ideal for the various American Roots music stylings of the first half of the 20th century as well as just about anything else you might want to play from the comfort of your favorite easy chair.

 SP Luthier Notes: Binding separation repair, fret dress, and setup

From Martin and Co.

Reminiscent of models from the “Golden Era”, the CEO-7 features a sunburst finish, golden age tuners and authentic headplate lettering. This new 14-fret short scale 00 “sloped shoulder” model features a solid Adirondack spruce top with solid mahogany back and sides for complex tonality.
