SP Luthier Notes: A small number of frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. A New saddle was made and installed on the guitar. Repairs were done to the edge of the fingerboard. A complete wipedown and cleaning of this instrument was done. No further work was required.
Prepare to be captivated by this stunning Martin D-14 Fret from the rare 175th Anniversary series! A true collector's dream, this dreadnought boasts a flawless solid Adirondack spruce top paired with solid Madagascar rosewood back and sides, a legendary tone wood combination that promises powerful projection and incredible richness.

A professional luthier has meticulously attended to this guitar, ensuring it's not just a beautiful showpiece but a supremely playable and absolutely rock-solid instrument that's ready to sing. This guitar is a sound investment, a unique piece of Martin history that will bring a lifetime of musical joy!
