What We Think

Condition: Used, Very Good 

  A classic Martin for player and collector alike!  That big, rolling bass presence is front and center, complimented by nicely scooped mids and a mellow treble register.  The shallow neck profile and 1 11/16" nut fits very comfortably in the left hand.  We like it with medium guage strings and the "in between" setup our luthier performed (not quite as-low-as-it-can-go, not quite bluegrasser-high), but we're happy to arrange for an adjustment according to the standards you've become accustomed to.  It just doesn't get much better for the flatpicker!  That combination of classic sound and looks is more than enough inspiration to pull this beauty of the case everyday for regular practice.  And with that Fishman Matrix pickup system, you're one step closer to taking the stage!

About Manufacturer

For well over a century and a half, The Martin Guitar Company has been continuously producing acoustic instruments that are acknowledged to be the finest in the world. The Martin Guitar Company has, through the years, managed to survive with each succeeding generation from C. F. Martin, Sr.?s Stauffer influenced creations of the 1830s to recent developments introduced by C. F. Martin IV. Continuous operation under family management is a feat bordering on the remarkable, reflecting six generations of dedication to the guitarmaker?s craft. In or out of the music industry, C. F. Martin has few rivals for sheer staying power. Throughout its colorful history, the company has adapted successfully to continual changes in product design, distribution systems, and manufacturing methods. In spite of the many changes, C. F. Martin has never veered away from its initial commitment to quality. The concern for producing the finest instruments possible in 1833 is especially evident today at Martin?s expanded facility in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. The story behind one of America?s most famous guitars began on January 31, 1796, in Markneukirchen, Germany, with the birth of Christian Frederick Martin, Sr. Born into a long line of cabinet makers, Christian Frederick took up the family craft at the early age of 15, when he left his hometown and traveled to Vienna to apprentice with Johann Stauffer, a renowned guitar maker.
