Sound Pure's Take
Your new big, best friend! The authoritative bass colors but doesn't override the entire tonal response. Utterly room-filling. A looker, to be sure--clean, too! We love the custom tuners and bridge pins that were swapped in to replace the originals--they just add a level of refinement that suits the rich, profound tone of this dread.
From Martin and Co.
Classic herringbone, East Indian rosewood, ebony and Sitka 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. Also available in Sunburst and Ambertone finish.
