I've owned a number of US-made Martin guitars over the years. They were all beautifully made with great tone. This one is easily the best of the bunch. I played one of these several years back at Guitar Center and was blown away by the tone and playability. I said at the time if the opportunity presented itself, I would buy one of these and I did. I have enjoyed playing it but it's not the guitar for me. As I get older, I'm moving to smaller guitars. Which is why I'm offering this for sale.

A few things to note. First, there are a couple of cosmetic things to note. There is a hairline crack in the lacquer on the sound board. This is just in the finish, it does not go through to the wood. See the picture. There is also a small indent on the back of the guitar and finish chip on the top edging. I've tried to show these in the pictures. The guitar did not come to me with the original hard case. I purchased a new Martin hard case for it. The case has a small indent on it. See pictures. Otherwise, the guitar is in excellent shape. Below is what Gemini has to say about this guitar. Let me know if oyu have any questions.

The Modern Deluxe series is Martin’s blend of vintage style and high-tech innovation. It features a Vintage Tone System (VTS) torrefied Sitka Spruce top, genuine Mahogany back and sides, natural Rosewood binding, and custom ultra-lightweight components like a titanium truss rod, carbon fiber bridge plate, and Liquidmetal® bridge pins for enhanced sustain, volume, and resonance.

  Doc Hanson's Good Time Guitars: Every guitar I sell has at minimum been cleaned, the action adjusted to a good playing height, new strings installed, and tested by me. If the guitar has electronics, these have been tested and repaired if needed. I do not sell guitars that don't work properly. If the guitar has been repaired prior to me receiving it, I make every attempt to describe those repairs in the listing. If I have made repairs on the guitar, I will describe them in the listing. I attempt to be as accurate and transparent as possible in my descriptions but acknowledge that I don't know everything and can make errors. My list prices are based on the assessed condition of the guitar and market rates. I will entertain reasonable offers and reject low-balls. My desire is to get good guitars into the hands of people to play and enjoy. I charge a flat shipping rate for every guitar shipped within the US. If you are in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and want to look at a guitar, or pick up locally, let me know. Thanks for looking and keep on pickin'.
