Arguably one of Martin’s greatest designs. In very good overall condition with very minor marks (most notable one a surface hairline scratch on back, it looks worse in the photo than in real life) .
Saddle height left (approx 3mm at bass end and 2mm at treble end) and set at low action (2.1 bass side, 12th fret and 1.5 treble side). No modifications, holes drilled or repairs.
£3250 - based in Swansea, happy to post or meet. Now £2950 £2750 £2500
The current model sells for £4735 and has a 1-3/4" nut width (this one is the 1-11/16" iteration). This early 2000s model has a very fine selection of timbers.
