| 2001 | $2875 | new | Great guitar after I had the braces scalloped (top was dead) and a re-fret as 3 frets were out of spec which threw the intonation off. The sound is now top-notch. But I can't figure out how the frets could have been cut so wrong that you had to tune it to either play with open chords, or up around the 7th-12th fret. | |

| 2014 | $2750 | excellent | The guitar has some cracks on the surface from being in dry heat. The previous owner had them repaired at a Martin certified shop before he sold me the guitar. I had it reworked at a certified Martin shop in my town and served a good bill of health. Beautiful guitar to play. Great neck. | |
