long-playing comfort features a fossil ivory nut and solid ebony

This one, made in 2012 is in great condition, almost

Fleeting, it has no issues plays and perfectly with accurate intonation
all over the neck.
The sound is out of this world, the
dreadnought is Martin's most powerful guitar and can be used to play a
variety of musical styles. The mahogany back and sides
give it punch and clarity, it is also the best wood choice for recording
purposes. The Adirondack top is responsible for the stunning dynamic
range.
