Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
An exquisite guitar on all fronts. Martin trotted this option out in 2011 based on vintage Style 21. This instrument is the sort that will make you lose all sense of time; such a pleasure to play and such an inspiring sound! Its voice is dry and clear with just enough subtle harmonic complexity to set it apart from the pack. Gorgeously appointments and a jaw dropping sound, who could ask for more?
SP Luthier Notes: Setup confirmed, fret cleanup
