This is a 1971 guitar I bought about ten years ago. I bought it to hear the perfect Martin tone. Received in January.The varnish got those little spider webs. Heard that 70s Martins bridges were a little off. Took it to my Martin approved Luthier. He told me the bridge was a little off and it needed new frets. So I told him to set it to 1937:specs. Put in the right bridge plate too. Spider veins stayed.

So she is no beauty . But she sure can cook.

Finally found a decent song that shows off the tonal properties of the guitar.

I should raise the price

Enjoy
