Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used Excellent

A really, really great sounding serial number from Martin's Grand Performance line.  Aside from some required light fret and setup work, this beauty received a completely clean bill of health from our luthier.  We've all noted the big, rich voice on this guitar--not always the case with OM w/ cutaways--nice!

From Martin and Co.

Scalloped bracing and the perfectly balanced deep resonance of our Grand Performance body combine for blossoming arpeggios and throaty chords. Compact and versatile electronics so you can shape your sound anywhere, anytime to sound as good plugged in as you do unplugged. Authentic East Indian rosewood, Sitka spruce, bold herringbone, and vintage appointments for serious style, Martin’s most comfortable neck and a cutaway for speed and playability. Also available in Sunburst and Ambertone finish.
