Folks every once in a while we are lucky enough to to run across a really special guitar . Well as luck would have it she’s finally here. We had to get her off to our repair technician for some inside cleat binding repair of about 11” and a new bridge and plate . In addition was some work at the base ( pin area ) with some structural enforcement as pictured . There is some previous old repair small 1/2” cleats inside sound hole for back side . Also please notice old repairs to the slotted headstock areas as pictured . The wait was surely worth it . The tone is just “ Killer “ ... in all my days I can not recall a more amazing tonal quality that is all inclusive mid / high / low areas of tone . This one has “ got it all” so I can certainly understand why with the beauty in aged wear that these are among the the most desired Martin guitars on the planet . We are going to decline shipment on this unit as it will be a pick up only and by only the buyer alone and without substitution. The original case pictured is with the sale so please note that the top of the case is separated from age and use yet it is original to the guitar as best as we know. We will use pick up only on this unit
