Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: A small portion of frets showed evidence of play wear. As such, the frets were leveled, recrowned, and polished back to a near mint state. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. (A) Minor dent(s) present on the guitar required our luthier to fill, color match, and refinish the area massively improving the cosmetics of the guitar. No further work was required.

One of the most incredible sounding Martins we've heard! The top is hyper-sensitive and brings a wonderful low end combined with the shorter scale length. Warm and loud, with a very comfortable feel due to the reduced string tension. Perfect for fingerstylists, acoustic jazzers, and singer-songwriters!
