It is in excellent plus condition, showing only very light, tasteful signs of careful use with no structural issues. It plays and sounds fantastic.

• Back & Sides: Solid Guatemalan Rosewood with Style 28 zig-zag back purfling
• Neck: Genuine mahogany with traditional T-bar reinforcement (no adjustable truss rod), dovetail neck joint, and hot hide glue construction throughout
• Neck Profile: Vintage 1-3/4” nut
• Fingerboard & Bridge: Ebony with 2-5/16” string spacing at the saddle

The VTS top delivers that sought-after pre-war warmth, openness, and dynamic response right away, while the T-bar reinforced neck offers excellent long-term stability and traditional feel. Guatemalan rosewood provides a rich, balanced tone with warm bass, clear mids, and sparkling highs that pair beautifully with the Adirondack top.
This is a fantastic opportunity to own a near-new example of one of Martin’s finest pre-war recreations at a price significantly below current retail.
