Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

Pure magic!  We're given to understand that this one was conceived of and crafted by a 20 year veteran of Martin's hallowed Custom Shop and every moment of that longstanding experience shows in this tremendous instrument.  An incredible dynamic range is further elevated by the cut and clarity of that beautiful Adirondack top along with this eye-popping 3 piece back that produces a voice both dark and glassy.  The tone turns heads but the look will keep eyes, as well as ears, front and center--this is what happens when over the top lands on its feet!

From Martin and Co.

This is a Martin Custom Shop order.
