Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good - Repaired indent on neck (Pictured)

 Look no further, lovers of that classic Martin sound, the luthiers at the Custom Shop have nailed it once again! Delightfully woody with a fair amount of punch to it, this guitar personifies what we love about that Martin tone!

SP Luthier Notes: Fret Dress, Setup, Cosmetic Repair on Neck

From Martin and Co.

Understated looks, timeless tone. The warm tone of mahogany and authentic Sitka spruce couple with resonant scalloped bracing under the hood for a sound that's honest, authoritative, and clear. Vintage details like open-geared tuners and classic 18-style appointments pair with a modern, low profile neck for an old-soul sound in a brand-new body.
