I love this thing, but according to the serial number it is 2006 origin which does not agree with the preamble. The neck is superb, tone wonderful. Works well for me flatpicking or fingerpicking. I have played a Gibson J45 since 1963 and always thought Martins were a bit sterile in sound for me. Now that I have got the hang of this thing, there is no going back.

Great, great small body guitar. Loud and Punchy.
