Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: Reset Neck, Repair Binding, Fret Dress
From Martin and Co.
Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear. Vintage details include open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments pair with a modern, low profile neck for an old-soul sound. Available in full gloss, full satin with an aging toner top, or full satin with an amberburst top.
