Description
What makes this guitar special? This guitar has an exceptional build and perfectly displays Martin’s design integrity. Built with modest appointments, this great Grand Performance body produces a round, compressed low end, mild mids, and a lot of chime in the top end, perfect for coming through the mix and yet leaving lots of room for vocal performance. The tuning machines have their own individual gear ratios increasing both the ease and accuracy of tuning. On top of it all, it comes with the outstanding Fishman F1 Aura + electronics system that pushes all that fantastic Martin tone out to the audience with incredible transparency. Finished with a gloss top, this guitar shines as much in look as it does in sound. Don’t miss your chance to own an exceptional looking, sounding, and playing guitar that is essentially new, but with a used price tag.
