Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
SP Luthier Notes: The fretboard showed signs of unevenness which required the frets to be pulled and the board re-planed to level. The guitar required a full adjustment to the truss rod, nut, and bridge to be brought to a perfect level of playability. No further work was required.
In the grand scheme of things, you really can't beat a Spruce and Mahogany Dreadnought acoustic, and this is a fine example of that! The mahogany adds midrange and transparency, and the spruce top is snappy and projective. Add all of that to a large dreadnought body and you have a guitar that can do it all! Thanks to our luthier's work, this couldn't possibly play any better and it feels incredible under the fingers. Don't miss this one!
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.
