The J WAS the largest body made by Martin until the Grand J was introduced in 2009. The Grand is a full size jumbo with a 17" lower bout.

I had a question regarding the saddle, so here are some pics of the saddle and action.

Can you show a picture of the high e string break angle over the saddle?
Can you post a numeric price? Thanks

I'm pretty sure that all AGF postings need to include a price.

My mom has about 20 guitars including one of this model, well it's an 85 with no M on the end, but a J40. It's my favorite when I go to visit. Fabulous guitar. With ridiculously fine tone.
Relative to the question above on break angle,

With a relatively cheap neck set to take it back to new spec, this could be one of the richest and most formidable guitars you'll find. I'm sure it sounds great as is though. I've just contemplated buying my mom's and doing just that. I'm personally averse to low saddles so I commiserate with that question.
Best luck in the sale. I'm sure this is a phenomenal guitar.

i am in the market to buy a vintage'ish J40hink I'm posting on the thread.. I'm not an internet guy. My friend had a sweet sounding J40 in the 90's that was sold may years ago. It's time for me to have a J40 in my quiver. I will NEED to play it ..they all sound and feel a bit different.. Ihave no clue on the logistics but I'm sure we can fig.somthing out. Prob best to talk on pho my name is john 949++842**4.8.7.1 I'm in N. Idaho.
