Sound Pure's Take
Old and new have never enjoyed a happier meeting! The vintage looks and tone of this lightly-used beauty are perfectly complimented by a modern modified neck shape and onboard Fishman electronics. You'll be overjoyed to shift your view from a gorgeous, golden spruce top to the controls for the highly powerful and versatile F1 Aura+ on the side. That classic sound and style will translate perfectly to whatever room you're in thanks to Fishman's cutting edge features like Automatic Anti-Feedback and programmable tone presets. A spot-on piece for those who want the best, both from the Golden Era of guitars and from modern innovations made with the gigging musician in mind.
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Martin and Co.
