Sound and Playability

Its not my only Martin but its a fabulous instrument. Its fantastic that if you can afford it, you can buy the exact same instrument that Mr Mayer or Mr Keith Urban use both in stage and studio. Its absolutely gorgeous: the Englemenn spruce is stunning with an aged colour tone, the inlays are beautifull and the smell it delievers as soon as you open the case is like the scent of the most wonderful tune, framed in beautifull indian rosewood. If you like the OM measures as I do (the neck is different from the 000 models) and if you can afford it, this is the right guitar for you!
