This guitar does have some "hook wear" where the rubber of the display hook has eaten some of the nitro finish away right at the base of the headstock.  I've tried to photograph the area as best I can (see images with red circles).  This guitar has been hanging on display in our humidity controlled acoustic room since we got it back in 2016.  I had to enter a lottery among all Martin dealers for a chance to get one.  The back on this guitar is breath-taking and it sounds amazing.  With an adi top and koa back and sides, it has a beautiful voice as well.  Please message with any further questions.

Limited to only 50 instruments, this Orchestra model features an ebony fingerboard, bridge and headplate, a solid Adirondack spruce top and exceptionally figured Koa back and sides, which produces a beautiful, well-balanced tone. The back features a spectacular compass design inlaid with flamed jarrah, Claro walnut, waterfall bubinga and Paua pearl. The ebony headplate also has a True North design inlaid with mother of pearl.
