Up for sale is my Martin DRS1 acoustic-electric dreadnought. Of all the acoustic guitars I’ve owned and played, this has honestly been my favorite. It has a wonderfully warm, full sound, plays great, and has that unmistakable Martin character.

The DRS1 features an all-solid sapele construction, giving it a rich, balanced tone with plenty of warmth and projection. It sounds excellent for strumming, flatpicking, or fingerstyle and has been a guitar that I've genuinely enjoyed owning and playing.

Condition:
There is a hairline crack in the top, which I want to disclose clearly and accurately. Please look closely at the photos for its location and condition. The guitar currently plays great and sounds amazing despite the crack. I have not attempted to hide or cosmetically cover it.

Because of the crack, I am pricing the guitar accordingly and selling it with the cosmetic/structural condition clearly disclosed. This would make a fantastic player's Martin for someone who cares more about tone and playability than having a cosmetically perfect instrument.

Highlights:

• Martin DRS1 dreadnought
• Solid sapele construction
• Acoustic-electric
• Warm, full and balanced Martin tone
• Great-playing neck
• Excellent projection
• Hairline crack in the top — clearly disclosed and pictured
• A genuinely great player's guitar

I'm only selling it because I had to take my cat to the Emergency Vet at the University of Illinois and the bill was almost $5,000. This one is difficult for me to part with - it has been my favorite acoustic guitar I've owned. If no one will pay $400 for it, that is fine- I’ll keep it.

Please examine all photos carefully before purchasing, particularly the photos showing the hairline crack. I'm happy to answer any questions about the guitar or provide additional photos of the crack or any other area.
