Default Martin 0000-18ge Gruhn custom 2005 $2000

I'm selling my 2005 Martin 0000-18ge Gruhn (M - size)35th anniversary custom that is in very good condition. I bought it used about 4 years ago and the person I purchased it from had had it refinished in a beautiful Amber Burst color by a luthier and a om greven pick guard put on it. He had the guitar reemed and slotted for some solid bone bridge pins. The work was done by James Ralston in Henderson NV, here is a link to his site: http://roadtoastguitars.com/Home_Page.html
It has the same attributes as the Martin 000-18ge with the V-neck and the scalloped forward shifted bracing but it has the 25.4" scale length. The woods are mahogany back and sides with an adirondack top and bracing. It also has a K&K Mini Passive Pickup installed.

Here are the specs:
Specs:
Top Wood: Adirondack Spruce
Back Wood: Mahogany
Scale: 25.4"
Nut Width: 1 3/4"
String Spacing: 2 5/16"
Frets To Body: 14
Neck Wood: Mahogany
Fretboard: Ebony
Bridge: Ebony Belly
Bracing: Scalloped Forward Shifted
Headstock Inlay: Vintage Style Martin Script
Tuners: Nickel Waverly
Rosette: 18 Style
Purfling: 18 Style
Body Binding: Black
Fretboard Binding: Black
Headstock Binding: none
Pickguard: Tortoise Style
Nut Material: Fossilized Ivory
Saddle Material: Fossilized Ivory
Bridge Pins: Ebony
Neck Profile: Modified V
Body Depth: 4 1/8"
Lower Bout Width: 16"

It does have a few scuffs on the upper bout by where your arm would be. There are no cracks, the frets are in very good condition, but it is not a brand new looking guitar it's been played. It does come with a geib case that is in very good condition, it has a little wear but all the clasps work. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the guitar. I'm selling it for $2000 plus shipping in the CONUS, shipping via fed ex ground, payment by paypal or usps money order.

You can see some pictures here:

Thanks Ripdotcom, this is a very nice guitar, great sound, if I didn't have too many guitars I'd keep it. I bought a Martin OM-18A and feel comfortable now selling my 0000-18ge Gruhn. Anyhow here is a link to the guitar when I purchased it and what the original owner had to say about what he had done to it:

Nice guitar! One notable difference from the 000-18ge, however, is the scale length.

That's true Frosty, it's the 25.4" scale length. You wonder why they put the 0000 size distinction on them rather than just sticking to calling them M size but they label them as both.

I guess 0000 makes more sense in the progression... buy, yeah. The M / 0000 size is a terrific design, whatever it's called! I'm sure this is a fabulous instrument.
