Sound Pure's Take
This custom shop Martin has my jaw on the floor - there's such an unprecedented balance to its warm and bold tone. The slightest taper on the neck makes it fit comfortably right in the palm of your hand and the stylings of fingerstyle past just seem to make their way out. This guitar is perfect for the fingerstyle blues - and it's nice enough to a strummer that it will excel in many other applications. There's a warm, woody, and dry humility belting out of this beauty and the sound is absolutely enticing.
Condition: Very Good. Some pickguard scratches, but overall great condition.
From Martin and Co.
This is a custom shop order. Sort of a "Golden-Era" 000-15 hybrid.
