50th Anniversary model MPA70 - A great playing, sounding and looking lower-priced AA-grade solid spruce and rosewood parlor size guitar (slightly smaller than a Martin 00 size), bone nut and saddle, ebony bridge pins + other goodies. Check out excellent reviews online (and most of those are for lesser Artist or non-spruce models). Since tone comes in many flavors, the closest comparison that comes to mind might be as kindof "Collings light" for waaay less $ - less punchy and refined (of course) with similar overall tone spectrum - gently bright, clear and somewhat airy with harmonic complexity (not simple fundamental tone). While individual preferences may vary, I actually preferred it to parlors by Eastman, Larrivee and others under about $1800.
In general, its an exceptionally sweet, pretty and nice-playing small guitar for the price.
By the way, the case is nice enough that owners of fancier guitars have sought them out.
It's in like-new condition, set up with nice action and a new set of Elixir's.

Can you provide the measurement for string spacing at the bridge? Typically
2 1/4" to 2 5/16". Thanks.

I measure it at 2-1/8", about 1/32" less than my recent model Martin OM-28.
