Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Very Good

SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier completed an array of work on this instrument to ensure proper playability. This includes a repair of the binding, a reglue of the heel cap of the instrument, and a partial refret and fret dres. This instrument has also had a neck reset to ensure proper playability and neck angle, as all acoustics will eventually need at some point in their lifetime. No further work was required.

From Martin and Co.

Classic herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony and spruce in the shape that started it all: the Dreadnought. Paired with our most comfortable neck, vintage appointments, scalloped, forward-shifted bracing, and a lifetime warranty. Powerful bottom end, rich tone, and strums that will fill the room—music history made new.
