Excellent condition with some very light, barely visible finish dings. All original, includes the original Martin TKL hardshell case and LR Baggs Lyric pickup. Sounds as good as it looks, simply plug and play! You’ve got to arrange for a try out!

Solid Sitka spruce top and solid straight grain East Indian Rosewood back and sides. Low-profile solid mahogany neck with solid black ebony fretboard and bridge. Headplate is solid East Indian rosewood with abalone Martin inlay. Abalone snowflake fingerboard markers. Black-and-white body binding front and back. Beautiful and delicate Gotoh gold open-geared tuning machines with butterbean knobs. Tortoise-color pickguard. Well-balanced mellow tone with warm sustain. Currently set up with gauge 13 (medium) Martin SP Lifespan strings to really bring out the true power of this guitar.

CONDITION
9.5/10 Excellent++, very minimal user marks. Overall - super well maintained and kept in casing all the time with dry packs when not in use. Dehumidified on a quarterly basis to avoid damage from Singapore's humid weather.
